I would hate to do anything to make the wait list any longer for LDI, but I have no option other…read morethan to give them five stars - wait list be damned. This is by far the BEST day care center for your money in the entirety of Eastern Massachusetts. I know this because I have looked in every town from Salem to Plymouth (and everywhere in between), and anywhere you look, the rates are outrageous, the staff's responsiveness is horrendous, and the flexibility / hours are absurd. What working mother is able to pick her child up by 4:30pm?! Anybody? I didn't think so. My daughter has been attending LDI for almost a year, and the experience has been absolutely above and beyond anything I ever expected. On top of the rates being completely reasonable, the Director, Jessica, always answers emails within 24 hours (usually less), the staff is fantastic about communicating with parents, they follow all regulations set forth by the government, the facility is very clean, the playgrounds (that's right, there are two) are HUGE and tidy, and the people who work for LDI seem to genuinely love their jobs. The level of education is also a huge plus - my daughter knew her entire alphabet by 20 months, which may not be "advanced" per se, but it's much better than I could've done on my own! If that wasn't enough for you, Summer programming includes a magic show for all the families, a farm visit, picnics, Bubble Man, Olympics, and several family events to increase parent involvement in the childrens' day care experience. One more thing - they listen. If you have a comment, complaint, or encouragement, it will be heard and implemented if possible (and reasonable). LOVE this day care. Don't ever want to leave. That is all.

It felt chaotic, the teachers seemed pretty burned out and the one time I tried to talk to a teacher about my kid's feelings, she got defensive like I was accusing her of doing something wrong (I wasn't at all!). I had to talk myself into dropping them off every day. The school we switched to was nearby and cost the same, but I actually felt like the teachers liked my kids and were kind to them.

We are on our third baby at the Goddard School and I have nothing but wonderful things to say about…read morethe staff and teachers. It is truly a special place. A few examples of the kind of place Goddard is - 1. Our newest little one started at three months and had a hard day. The teachers in the infant room held her all day long comforting her 2. Our biggest (now in K) loves coming to pick up because every teacher remembers her and says hello 3. The preparation for Kindergarten has been so apparent and was highlighted by our child's teacher on her K progress report 4. I just asked my two big ones "what was your favorite part of Goddard" they both responded "my teachers" 5. Finally, they went above and beyond to protect our children during Covid and they opened their doors as soon as possible for working parents

My kids started as infants and have learned so much! Colors, ABCs, numbers, writing their name, etc. They've learned even more about kindness, empathy and gratitude. The social skills they get at a young age are incomparable. We couldn't be happier with the teachers and staff that create such a wonderful experience for the children to learn and grow!

I can't say enough about how much I love this school. I sent both my older daughter and son (who is…read morecurrently there). The staff is so caring. Their philosophy aligns with everything I believe in. When my daughter attended, she learned things at 3, that she didn't approach again for the first time until K2.

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 sent my child to this school for two years on the recommendation of friends. Since then we have all withdrawn our children and are very disappointed. The directors are dishonest and money hungry, they lack all compassion and principal. Their are some nice teachers ( Jan) but others leave a lot to be desired. Their policies are extremely rigid in terms of withdrawing your child or changing your schedule, and they will try to rip you off at every corner. . Framingham has plenty of day cares/preschools, don't put your child in this one, it will be a mistake.

This is a wonderful preschool, we absolutely love it. I really don't understand the other reviewer,…read more because everyone I know who has gone to this school absolutely loves it. My oldest son started preschool here at 2.9 and had a very hard time adjusting as he had been at home with me before that- the teachers were warm, supporting and so wonderful with him. He soon loved it and went all the way through Pre-K there. My younger son is now following in his footsteps. We actually lived in Natick and travelled to Framingham to go to this school. All of the teachers and directors are warm, loving and have the childrens best interest at heart. I have recommended this school to many people. It is a nurturing place for kids to learn, it reminds me of preschools of 20 years ago - a classic nursery school.
