Dedham Reviews & Recognition

  • We absolutely love EVERYTHING about the Goddard School Dedham! Thank you for keeping our kids happy and safe while learning at the same time. I think the communication with the owner/director/teachers has been phenomenal.

  • Our son has been super happy at Goddard. We love that there are always plenty of activities going on and that the teachers are genuinely invested. Our son that's currently at Goddard is the youngest of our three so we've had our fair share of early education experience and we're, by far, the happiest here!

  • Originally we switched from another center in Westwood to Goddard for the convenience of location. However, in every way measurable it is better than all other centers in the area. The emphasis on education and socialization, the priority of supporting families and parents, and perhaps most important at this time, dedication to keeping a safe and clean environment. I am so grateful for all of the teachers and administrators, I can't say enough positive things to express my gratitude.
