I like the curriculum based learning. My kids are happy and thriving in your school.

Aubrey & Caroline's Mother

Everyone at the school has been fantastic with my sons transition into a new environment; pre school. The day is filled with fun and education all in one. And the most important part is that my son loves going!

Sila's Mother

Preschool Classroom

I love the process artwork and the opportunities the school gives for each child to learn and grow in a loving and safe environment.

Elizabeth & Harper's Mother

Toddler Classroom

Our children have all been very happy here, and they seem to benefit greatly from a good balance of social interaction, physical activity, and educational activity.

Benjamin & Henry's Father

Pre-K Classroom

Both my children have had FUN learning at The Goddard School. They have received a solid foundation in pre-reading skills from the Goddard teachers and when my oldest child entered Derry's public kindergarten she easily began reading without struggles and frustration! We appreciate the "classroom feel" versus a "daycare feel" to the school to help prepare our kids for elementary school while still being a fun, supportive, and loving environment.

Emerson's Mother

Pre-K Classroom

I love that the curriculum follows themes for a period of time long enough for children to really develop interest and knowledge in the subject. I also like that there are several different ways for them to explore each theme which allows for audio, visual and kinesthetic learning.

Emilia & Benjamin's Mother

Toddler Classroom
