The Goddard School of Westford came highly recommended to us by another family when we were searching for childcare for our oldest in 2015. Since then, we’ve had two children graduate from Goddard and have spent a total of almost eight years with at least one child under their care. Our children thrived at Goddard, both academically and socially/emotionally. They were very well-prepared for kindergarten and made a seamless transition when the time came. In terms of the people, the teachers and staff have become like a second family to us. The love and care they’ve shown to our children helped make school a fun place that they loved going to every day. We’re so grateful for our time at Goddard!

After diligent research in the midst of Covid, we decided on The Goddard School of Westford for our 3 year old son whom had not had any out-of-home daycare experience. What made the decision easier was the way we were treated from the beginning, despite the restrictions due to safety concerns for the students. Nina and the rest of the staff took the time to answer the numerous questions we had, making sure we felt heard and understood. The personalized online tour of the facility, as well as conversations with the educational director made our decision much easier, as opposed to the general powerpoint presentations we had experienced from other schools we were considering. They gave us the peace of mind knowing our son would be treated as if he were home, but also be challenged and thrive in his new surroundings and experiences. After 2 years, we were not disappointed by any means. Our experience at The Goddard School of Westford was exceptional. Our son loved going everyday, loved the staff, especially his teachers and built great friendships with his classmates. We are forever grateful to all and whole-heartedly recommend this school to anyone looking for a quality and caring educational institution for your little ones. We are proud to say we are part of the Goddard School family.

The Goddard School in Westford is the absolute BEST! Our 2 boys are so happy every day and we know they are learning and developing at an advanced pace. This speaks volumes to the culture Fred and Nina have created. Safe, clean, caring, fun, and so many attributes that make this the best school we could have ever asked for!!

The Goddard School fed our child’s mind, hands and curiosity with new experiences and a constant stream of welcoming kindness that engaged him every day. He was more than adequately prepared for kindergarten and made many friends.

Many people recommended The Goddard School of Westford when we looked for daycare options for our 1-year-old daughter in 2015. We hoped to find her a safe, reliable, creative, and playful environment. Following our initial meeting with the owners, Fred & Nina Lee, we were confident we had found the perfect place, and that proved to be true throughout the several years our daughter — and later our son — attended the school.Our kids greatly enjoyed their time at Goddard, thanks to the school's engaging, age-appropriate curriculum and its kind and supportive staff. Fred and Nina are exceptional at what they do. They are present, proactive, and communicative, and their genuine commitment to the school is evident. We were always comforted to know our children were in their care. Thanks to their hard work, dedication, and the efforts of their directors and teachers, our kids enjoyed many happy years there, and when they left, they took lasting friendships and priceless memories with them. My wife and I can say the same.

The Goddard School in Westford came highly recommended to us when we were searching for a Preschool/PreK program almost 3 years ago. Coming from a small home daycare environment, we were nervous about pursuing a larger center. When we met with the owners, Fred and Nina, and director, Lindsey on our tour we knew we had found perfect place for our son to flourish and grow. Leaving our son everyday felt like leaving him with family. The daily communication between the classroom teachers and school was outstanding. The relationships that the teachers, owners and directors make with students is wonderful and therefore the social, emotional and academic growth that students make in the program is tremendous. We recommend Goddard to anyone who asks and attribute our son’s Kindergarten readiness to the work that Goddard did these past years!

We loved the Goddard School of Westford. The owners, teachers, directors took great care of all the children and our daughter learned so much. It was nice to drop our child there and know that she was well taken care of throughout the day. The daily messages and pictures using mobile technology/app from teachers gave us great comfort to know our child was happy and well balanced in her day and created a great first learning experience for our daughter. We would highly recommend this school for early education with a caring touch!

My experience at The Goddard School of Westford was great and amazing! From the wonderful teachers to their fantastic floaters and the incredible directors, they all made our time there very pleasant. My daughters learned so much while there, and their teachers helped them create beautiful memories. While attending this school, my daughters always looked forward to going back because they had so many fun and interactive activities waiting for them to do. Also, I had no problem trusting my kids in there, seeing that it was a safe and secured environment, with friendly staff and caring towards everyone. The directors Nina and Fred, not only cared for the children but they made sure their staff were appreciated and created fun activities for them too. But what I liked the most about the directors and appreciated them for, was how they communicated with parents efficiently on everything school related. Therefore, enrolling my daughters at this center, was a good decision for our family and I highly recommend this center to other families too.

Could not have been happier with our experience at Goddard School of Westford. From my very first communication with them I could tell that Fred and Nina were on top of their business and they have always been extremely attentive, helpful and kind. The teachers are also amazing and the facility is very clean. I would recommend this location to everyone.

Both our children have been through The Goddard School at Westford and we can’t say enough great things about the way Fred, Nina and the entire team run this school. They pride themself in transparency and are very responsive to our unique needs when they do arise. Picking a school for early childhood education may be a difficult task for most parents but trust me, you will not go wrong with this awesome school!

We love the Goddard School at Westford. When we first met Nina and Fred when looking at schools after moving to the area, it was clear that they had figured out how to run a daycare/preschool efficiently and had hired the right staff to create a great environment for nurturing, loving, and learning. It was an easy decision to send our kids there.Both of our kids attended Goddard year round until Kindergarten. Our daughter started in Preschool and thrived throughout her two years there and was well prepared for Kindergarten. Our son started in the Toddler classroom and went all the way through until his recent graduation. He is very excited and we are confident he is prepared to start Kindergarten in the fall both from an educational and a social perspective. My daughter loved her teachers so much, she would be excited to come along to pick up our son so that she could say hi to her old teachers.Nina, Fred, and Lindsey run the program so well with excellent communication and respond to any emails we send immediately. The use of the Tadpoles app allowed us to see exactly what the kids were learning every week and provided pictures on a daily basis.Once COVID started, we had no hesitations with sending our son back to school when they re-opened and despite the regulations, the classes ran just as smoothly as before.I would highly recommend the Goddard School to anyone who is considering it and would certainly send our kids back if we had the opportunity.

The Goddard School of Westford was our home for 7 years and saw our two adventurous children from infancy to kindergarten. I cannot say enough about the quality of education and loving environment that Fred and Nina (the owners, who you see every day at drop off) have created. The teachers love the kids and it shows through the entire experience. We would highly recommend to all families.

We used Goddard School of Westford for our children and couldn't be happier with our experience. Our oldest attended from infant room to PreK. The staff was always attentive to his development and proactive with any concerns. Thanks to the support of this school we were able to transition our son into the public school system smoothly and attain a 504 plan that he needed. Our youngest attended until pre-school and only changed because we moved. We were beyond sad to see our time in Westford end and will be forever grateful for the support and love we felt in this center. For parents concerned to returning/starting in the Covid world we live in, I can attest Fred and Nina have taken every precaution to keep our children and their staff safe and healthy.

I can’t say enough good things about Goddard in Westford. Between my three girls we’ve been to a few daycares over the years. The last few years for my youngest were really amazing at Goddard. The owners are extremely kind, always present and excellent communicators. The school is well run, clean, fun and my daughter loved all of her teachers. The staff turnover was very minimal ever (which is incredible for a daycare). The caliber of teachers and support teams available to the kids is really high and they are all so supportive. The way they handled everything during Covid only helped to solidify that they have the highest level of integrity and love for their teachers, kids and families. We’re off to kindergarten this year and miss Goddard already.

This Goddard School in Westford is exceptional. My son attended for 2 years from age 3-5, and I'm sad that he's now aged out of the program. I found the school to be extremely well organized, supportive, caring and professional. He loved going to school and enjoyed every day. In addition, the daily updates via the tadpole app are extremely helpful to understand what the kids are learning about, how much your child slept & ate, as well as some fun daily pictures. Thank you Goddard School for such a great experience!
