Heroes (campers) spend their days adventuring and exploring the grounds, making choices that will impact the story moving forward. It's an inclusive community for those wanting to get outdoors and bring the stories of literature, history, and myth to life (while swinging a foam sword). I've worked there several summers. It's home to many campers and staff, finding the magic of The Story School calls them back to answer the call of adventure! They also offer scholarships, sibling discounts, and multi-session discounts to make camp accessible. They are also hugely focused on inclusion within the LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent communities. I wish we could host camp all year!

We love Goddard School! The small classroom environment is perfect for our little one. All the…read moreteachers are exactly what I would expect to see at any center! At Goddard School in Northborough, they have a patient, positive and encouraging approach to the children. The entire school works as a team, a well structured unit, if you will. It's very refreshing to see! I have peace of mind knowing my child is safe and well cared. In the same token my child is actively learning and enriching his mind. My only wish is enrolling my child here sooner. Thank you Dipak, Beth, Ms. Sylvia, Ms. Katie and the rest of the team for shining bright with the children! You're all amazing and wonderful child educators! Our family is forever grateful.

I feel obligated to leave a review because their 5 star rating on yelp was one of the big factors…read morein us choosing this daycare. We had a really hard, frustrating and short lived experience with this school. My son (4) joined in June '21 because we'd moved too far from the daycare he'd been at since 18months. At first sight, the school seemed like a good fit. The owner, Dipak, gave us a tour and he seemed nice. We didn't meet the teacher prior to enrolling because I'd heard such amazing things about other Goddard locations. The problems started Day 1. I called to speak with the teacher reiterate that my son shouldn't take naps, and that he needs encouragement with the potty. His teacher was incredibly rude to me. Told me that all the children nap, basically tough luck. We communicated this with the director, Beth, (who as an aside, Is a super sweet caring lady we really liked, if only everyone else there was like that), and we worked out that we would send in a little bag of toys every day to have my son play with during nap time. We don't think it worked, he was never tired at the end of the day, and more than once he told us his teacher told him not to tell us he slept. (Who knows what's true with a 4 year old but when he wouldn't even fall asleep during a car ride at 9 pm, we felt pretty confident he was napping.) Next was the TV- we asked him what his favorite part of the day was and he excitedly told us "when we watched the episode of Peep and the Big Wide World." I was shocked, I'd never heard of a school playing show for the kid. I was told it's just during transition times and said it was fine but obviously a surprise and not our preference. Then a few weeks later my son started telling us "How come you don't let me watch shows at school?" Or "Miss Ornela lets the other kids watch shows but not me." He started regressing in potty training and still to this day tells us about how mean the teachers were when he had accidents. At a pick up, my partner asked if he had an accident and in front of our son, his teacher very harshly and abruptly said "it's not an accident, this kid simply isn't potty trained." He came home one time in tears so hungry, telling me that the teacher wouldn't let him eat his snacks (he still had snacks in his lunchbox). I personally saw how the staff spoke to the children at pick up and got a weird vibe. Lots of harsh commands, short tempers, something was off. And we tried to communicate all or most of these issues with management. Beth certainly tried her best to help, but the owner never did. And nothing every changed. He only lasted the summer here before we moved him to a Montessori school in the next town. Just 2.5 weeks in, he's falling asleep at 7:30, loving going to school, has had no accidents at school, is eager to go every morning, and even had some good speech progression (his new teacher helped him finally say Fs). The saddest part for us is he keeps telling us how awesome it is that "the teachers at the new school are actually nice."

Although many of the children are preschool aged, my whole family (including 10 year old daughter) absolutely loves this class. I have participated in Music Together classes for the past 5 years and I am so happy to have found Michelle Tate as a teacher. She makes music and movement a family affair. She is truly gifted with children. She has a wonderful attitude, philosophy and nurturing disposition that sets children and parents at ease in her class. Everyone is welcome.. Have a friend visiting from out of town? Bring her. Grandparents want to check it out? You bet! Need to make up a class? No problem. She is SO flexible and family friendly. Michelle is also a very talented musician as she plays the flute, piccolo, piano and the djembe (African drum) which my kids enjoy sitting on and drumming with her. Michelle makes the music come alive with an assortment of props like hula hoops, squishy balls, gathering drums, egg shakers, jingle bells and more. She is constantly looking for new ways to make this class special for every age and stage. As a parent, be prepared to fully participate in this class.. sing, dance and have some fun with your child(ren). Don't worry about whether you think you are the best singer or dancer - it does not matter. Just get up and give it a try. You and your children will not be disappointed with this experience. This class has served as "special time" with my kids where I am there to focus on THEM and not worry about all of the other responsibilities that I have to do all week long. When you register for class you receive a song booklet that has the sheet music for playing at home in addition to 2 CD's (one for the home and one for the car). At this point, I own the entire collection and my kids have memorized most of the songs! :))
