    The Goddard School of Medfield

    The Goddard School of Medfield

    I loved working here it was a great place to work although I enjoyed the kids here and the staff…read morewere wonderful there were some things i needed to improve on so I take this as a learning experience that I can bring forward with me to other jobs I loved working with the office staff and the owner was a great lady to work with too. As I have worked here I have gained a lot of valuable skills as how to be a stronger educator and teacher in my future careers as a teacher that I will cherish and keep with me for my teaching Journey. I loved each child equally and individually and wish all children at this school the best of luck in transforming into Kindergarteners when they go to the public school level of Education. My hope is that they do well. You all were super great to work with thanks for the experience Goddard of Medfield!

    I had a really bad experience with The Goddard school Medfield, I am sure I might have liked it…read moreonce my kid had joined the school but it really didn't happen due to the poor communication from the school and how they handled the situation. I would not recommend The Goddard, Medfield. I paid a non-refundable (don't know if any daycare really does that but they do) monthly deposit to enroll my kid in the Goddard, Medfield and unfortunately, the pandemic hit. I understand the center is closed and the joining date is being moved but it has been more than 2 years now and I still haven't got a proper joining date for my kid. Every time I try to follow up on the joining date the only word they said was they were fully booked and gave a date after ~ 6 months, well if you call closer to that date they say that you were late in calling and we don't have any availability and gave me another date after ~5-6 months. The one comment I didn't like from the head of the school was you paid your deposit and it is your responsibility to follow up and find a date, if you are late in calling us it is your fault. I know the issue started with the pandemic but the real issue was the communication from the school on enrolling my kid, every time I call I get a new date of joining and I had to scramble to find another place for my kid which could be really tricky. I lost my non-refundable deposit but I finally, took the decision that I am not going to have my kid join this school because I am worried about what other issues they might have internally if their communication and leadership are like this and I am not risking that with my kid.

    I have 2 children that have attended Woodside and if I could give 10 stars I would. The teachers…read morehere are each passionate about the age group they teach. Each of my children had strength in some subjects and challenges in others. Teachers personalized plans to give them the support and push to thrive. Now my oldest is in HS. He engages with teachers, develops his own study plan, and looks for challenges on his own. None of the other schools we looked at would have given the experiences he had at Woodside. 10/10 for us.

    Prospective parents: please look at the numbers before you enroll…read more My biggest advice to parents considering Woodside Montessori Academy in Millis is simple: don't make your decision based only on the school tour or the Montessori philosophy. Ask questions, look at the numbers, check public records, and talk to families who have actually experienced the school. Ask about enrollment and retention. How many students are currently in Lower Elementary, Upper Elementary, and Middle School? More importantly, how many students who enter the elementary program actually stay through Middle School? In my experience, enrollment drops by around 50% in the higher grades. Prospective parents should ask the school for its actual retention numbers. Ask about teacher turnover. How many teachers have left in the past five years? How long have the current teachers been at the school? What is the teacher turnover rate? Check the EEC records. The public EEC record lists a 2025 investigation in which non-compliances were identified. The school never shared this investigation with parents, and we were kept in the dark about what happened, what the non-compliances were, and what corrective actions were taken. Parents should review the EEC records themselves and ask the school for an explanation. PE and facilities are concerns. The school does not have a dedicated PE facility. Students have used the school's backyard and the front yard of a nearby church for PE. In our experience, some students were exposed to poison ivy there. There is also no dedicated music teacher. The school also does not have a dedicated room or auditorium for plays and large performances. For school plays, it has to rent a large room from a local church, requiring students and parents to leave campus for these events. Ask about the approximately $1,000 activity fee. We did not receive a clear accounting of how much was collected, how much was spent, or how much money was left. I am not accusing anyone of financial misconduct; my concern is transparency. Parents should ask exactly what this fee covers and request the details. Ask where graduates go. In my experience, many Middle School students who continue to high school attend Tri-County Regional Vocational Technical High School. There is nothing wrong with a vocational high school, but prospective parents should ask for actual graduate-placement information. Ask about Spanish. If Spanish is important to your family, ask students to speak with you in Spanish. This may give you a better sense of how much they are actually learning from the school's Spanish program. Talk to current and former parents, especially families whose children left the school. Check EEC records, ask difficult questions, and compare Woodside with other schools. For our family, student retention, teacher stability, facilities, enrichment, transparency, high-school outcomes, regulatory history, and the school's willingness to listen to parents all matter. Do your homework before committing your child--and potentially many years and thousands of dollars--to any school.
