Newtown 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.

  • We absolutely love Goddard. The care and attention to our children is unmatched. We really feel the love and so do our littles. We are blessed to have such wonderful teachers and staff caring for our children.

    Lucas & Zachary's Mother

    Preschool Classroom

  • We love quite literally EVERYTHING about Goddard. Our daughter has advanced so quickly from both an academic and social standpoint. The teachers are incredible and the programs are second to none. We are so happy we made the decision to send her to Goddard and would recommend it 10 times out of 10!

    Amelia's Father

    Pre-K Classroom

  • We were impressed with the Goddard School from the start but after just a few weeks of sending our son here, we couldn’t be happier. He was a bit timid at first since he’s used to only being with his mom and dad, but in such a short span of time, he now grabs his lunch box and waits at the door to leave to go to school. We are so happy with his socialization already and the sanitization measures taken, especially during flu season. We couldn’t be happier with sending our son here.

  • I love the interaction between my daughter and the staff. It’s such a relief to leave her when she’s smiling and ready for the day. I am very happy with how transparent the school has been during these times. I can also call and ask for advice as many of the employees are parents, they know I’m a new mom so any help is greatly appreciated. Goddard has exceeded my expectations of a daycare.

    Sloan & Jordan's Mother

    Infant Classroom

  • We have only been at the Goddard School of Newtown for about a month and with all of the changes that have been phenomenal. The staff has been very welcoming and warm. I couldn’t ask for more. It was a hard transition for us not meeting our daughters teacher or being able to walk her into her classroom but with open arms they welcomed her like they’ve known her over a lifetime.

    Skylar's Mother

    Toddler Classroom

  • The teachers are so caring & considerate of the kids. They also seem to have a more common sense approach to sickness vs what other schools seem to have. I appreciate all of their clarity and transparency throughout Covid and would happily recommend Goddard to a friend or family member.

  • I am so thankful for my daughter’s teachers and the level of love and care dedicated to her education and safety on a daily basis. She is constantly singing her favorite songs, tells us all about her friends, her favorite teachers, and asks us to do yoga with her to show us what she can do! She has learned so much and thrives each day at Goddard Newtown.

    Camila's Father

    Toddler Classroom

  • I love that they enforce a curriculum even for the little ones. Some centers feel more like they are babysitting with not a lot of structure. The entire staff works hard and it shows. Thank you for all that you do.

    Sunny's Mother

    Avery & Cody's Father

    Pre-K Classroom

  • Unbelievably positive learning environment for young children. I am impressed on a daily basis with how the staff help the children understand and use language, read books, and add to their vocabulary. The teachers also successfully demonstrate positive interaction for their students. The school overall is stellar with their health and safety practices.

    Demetrius's Mother

    Preschool Classroom

  • They look out for the needs of each individual child. My son needed an in- class assistant. The County was supposed to provide this person, but did not have the staff to do so. After months of waiting, the owner took it upon herself to hire someone to be my son's assistant, and get reimbursed by the County. He is thriving at Goddard School.

    Dale's Mother

  • The people, first and foremost. Everyone has been amazingly nurturing, kind, professional and loving to Logan and our family. We also love the format and curriculum at the Goddard School.
