What parents say

We’ve been at The Goddard School of Farmington for about 4 years now and have had a consistently great experience. Honestly, I’m a little embarrassed we’re just now getting around to writing this review. The teachers have been wonderful - caring, engaged, and clearly invested in the kids. While no place is perfect, anytime something has come up along the way, the leadership team (and teachers) have always been…

Fash · 5/5 on Google · 2 months ago

Our daughter has been at The Goddard School for over a year, beginning with two mornings a week and now attending full time. She absolutely loves it. On weekends she even asks, “Please can I go to school?” She is in pre-K, and the faculty has given her a wonderful early-childhood education. They’ve supported her in everything from recognizing emotions and proper handwashing to potty training, early literacy, and…

Katherine Verdickt · 5/5 on Google · 9 months ago

The teachers are great with the kids and seem to really care/love what they do. Our daughter has matured because of the classes and has built good friendships. The school is always doing something fun or beneficial outside of the day to day curriculum (science fairs, book fairs, pictures with Santa, parent/children events, etc.). The school is clean and safe for the kids. It is just a great place that our daughter…
