Stony Brook Reviews & Recognition

The love and commitment of our Goddard families inspires us every day. To help make each child’s learning experiences the best they can be, we are always happy to listen when parents share their expectations. Here’s what our families have to say.

  • The Goddard School of Stony Brook provides a warm and inclusive atmosphere where my daughter feels cared for and supported. The staff is attentive, responsive, and genuinely interested in my daughter’s needs and development

  • Staff is amazing- dedicated, caring. Always feel my child is in the best hands. Thoughtful, educational activities. Aside from school year programs, fun themed summer activities and special events. Director and owners always available. Had such a great experience with our older son at Goddard and currently having a great experience with our infant there.

  • The nurturing environment creates a safe place for our son! He is now potty trained due to the consistency of scheduling. We love it! Safety measures include eye technology that are beyond what we expected. You will not be disappointed. Our son wakes up every morning ready to go to the Goddard School, and guess what? We let him....lol

    Emily's Mother

  • We are amazed on how clean it is. How well it's organized. How friendly the staff are. Our daughter is so much more confident in the one month being there, and she's learned so much (days of the week, months in the year, weather, shapes). It's been transformational for the whole family.
