The Goddard School

My son has been attending the Goddard School in Concord for almost 18 months — he started when he was just 6 months old in the Infant One room (they have 3 infant rooms based on age and development milestones) and he is now in the Toddler One room! I cannot believe how fast time goes by! I can honestly say that we think of «school» as an extension of our family — my husband and I could not be more pleased with our son’s development, the care/​love he receives on a daily basis and with the administration of the school. All of his teachers have been loving, nurturing and VERY accommodating to all of us. They truly address all of his needs (and our needs as parents) with a unique approach — they get that HE is OUR world and we appreciate that!
Class sizes are smaller than other daycares that we visited and considered; which is really important to us, as it allows the children to have as much focused time as possible and allows the staff to really get to know each child. Their curriculum is constantly changing and we are always amazed at the things that our son learns and shares with us – he had learned sign language several months ago and we needed to learn it as well to keep up with him and communicate!
Any concerns or questions that we have ever had have always been addressed and acknowledged — we are first time parents and have LOTS of questions all the time! We’ve also had some unique needs and requests from diet to diaper changes, and they have always honored and supported us without question.
Additionally, there are a ton of activities that you can choose to enroll your child in, through Goddard — like soccer and gymnastics. Being a working mom/​dad, it is important to us that our son gets this exposure and it is so nice that he can get this during the day while at school vs. trying to rush in the evenings and weekends to squeeze it all in. These activities are at an additional nominal cost, that is well worth it to us.
We could not be more pleased with our decision to enroll him at the Concord location (when I was just 12 weeks pregnant!) and plan on keeping our son at Goddard to continue his education until he is ready for 1^st grade.
The entire staff and owner of the school are amazing, and I would highly recommend that you consider the Concord Goddard School and that you enroll your child here!

Everyday I am amazed by the friendly and clean atmosphere. The faculty truly care about the well being of each student. The Concord Goddard School has a family like atmosphere where the needs of the individual child is focused on meeting and maintaining. The learning through play and exploration atmosphere makes learning fun and exciting for students of all ages. Safety is a number 1 priority at this school. Faculty members are well trained in emergency situations.
