The Goddard School of Lexington 332 Concord Avenue, Lexington, MA 02421

"Goddard has been like a family to us ever since I started sending my older daughter 5 years ago. I ended up sending my younger daughter as well since she was 18 month old. The owners Yang and Shuo are very caring, friendly, kind and attentive to details. When my older one couldn't speak English well when she first started at the age of 3, Yang asked me to write down few words in both my language and English so they could understand her. All the teachers we met are so caring and loving. Their curriculum is excellent and when my daughter entered kindergarten, her teacher told me she was more then well prepared for the kindergarten. They send you daily reports with pictures and explanations so you could see what they've been doing for that day and talk about them with your children. When my second one was young, they wrote down in daily reports the food and time she ate, the time and duration of naps, frequency of diaper changes, and once she was toilet trained, frequency and time of her potty - all these information were helpful to know how well my daughter was doing. Sending young children to a daycare could be intimidating but I would trust Goddard fully. They did well during COVID. I was satisfied how quickly they accommodated online classes during the shutdown so my daughter could still meet her teachers, occupied for several hours a day, and still enjoyed learning. Another positive thing about Goddard is that they really do their best to keep the center open as much as possible unless there is severe weather conditions. It has really helped me since I'm a full time working mom. Long open hours was the first reason I chose Goddard over other daycares. Also, the building was new and clean since they opened as a new construction in 2018. This was one of the other reasons why I chose this place over other daycares with old facilities. The place you send your child for their early education is important since it is your child's very first impression of "school." Both of my children love going to school. I know they gained positive attitude toward school because of their positive experiences at Goddard. I would highly recommend Goddard to any parents."

"My daughter attended Goddard in Lexington from 2.9 till 5.5 yo. We saw her thrive in her social skills and loved all the daily communications. We found that the classrooms were always clean, the ease of provided snacks twice was amazing! Teachers were friends and administration brought in outside vendors to provide the classrooms with additional, arts, music, sports and story telling. Our daughter loved the school and we will miss them as we move on to Kindergarten."

"Highly recommend! My daughter had been with Goddard for 1.5 years and just graduated. All the teachers we met have been very professional and caring. Also the admin team is engaged and responsive. The school is very clean and well organized and the communication is excellent: we got updates/photos every day, and teachers reply to our messages very quickly. Also their snacks are VERY healthy, fresh fruits, yogurt, many organic products. Especially my daughter has severe Eczema that requires extra attention, we really appreciate their effort to work with us and make plans to help her feel better."

"Our daughter attended Goddard Lexington for over 2 years (until we moved out of state) and loved it. The school is so well-organized and excellent at communication. All of her teachers were wonderful and clearly cared about my daughter and fostered her development. Highly recommend to families looking for trusted childcare!"

"My children attended at Goddard Lexington for 3 years beginning in the infant room. I can't speak highly enough of the owners, directors and teachers at Lexington. They were wonderful to my children and the school went above and beyond other daycare centers I've seen - whether it was scheduling and curriculum, the multipurpose room, playgrounds, or quality of staff. The relationships they built there will stay with them for years to come and it's incredible to see how they have developed emotionally. socially and academically throughout their years there. 10/10, we highly recommend!"
