My 20 month old daughter, who only attends 3 days a week, loves it so much that if we take her when we are only dropping off her brother, she gets very upset that she isn't staying too. The school provides a safe, caring environment. The teaching is not high-pressure at all. My son comes home excited to show me what he's learned and wanting to practice his writing! He loves to learn and that's the best thing they could teach him!

I'm a Bedford mom this review is from both personal experience and word around town- a lot of people talk about how much poorly run this "school" is. This reputation certainly explains their low rating of 3.4. Please, do yourself a favor and steer clear.

In addition to the academics, the students are encouraged to get involved in sports and extra curricular activities. The teachers are willing to work with students and parents to ensure that the student succeeds to the best of his/her ability. Students are encouraged to develop interpersonal and leadership skills through the Ambassador Club and various leadership retreats. Having looked and been accepted at other Catholic high schools, Lowell Catholic was definitely the best fit and the best choice.

I have been absolutely blown away by The Goddard School of Derry since we first started attending…read moreback in October 2019 for our first child. Being a first time parent, I was obviously panicked about being away from my daughter for the first time and all of the employees were extremely kind and patient with me as I called multiple times a day to check in. They also have an app called Tadpoles that allows us to get in depth descriptions of every single thing that happens throughout the day and what lessons/skill development they worked on that day. A few weeks after my daughter had started going I was rushed to the ER and was hospitalized for a week. The staff not only worked with me and got to know various family members of mine to approve of additional pick up people, but they also were sure to ask every day how I was doing. They also allowed me to call and speak with the teachers since I wasn't having face to face interaction with them anymore. I also missed a tuition payment when I was in the hospital and instead of punishing me, they allowed me to get it to them as soon as I was out and able to go. The daycare has been extremely diligent with all sicknesses (even prior to COVID19) and has the best sanitation practices in the state. They were able to catch the first signs of RSV with my daughter and alerted me immediately and even followed up to see how she was feeling. From personal experience, I can truly say that these employees treat the students as if they are family. I can honestly say that after seeing the way that my daughter's face lights up when she sees some of the employees, I have full faith in their abilities to care for my daughter in the same way I would myself. I have been meaning to post a review for a while but I finally needed to now because of the way the daycare is handling COVID19 and these unprecedented times. My husband and I are both essential workers and not only are we required to work right now but we are required to work longer than normal hours. Having a safe and family-like atmosphere for our daughter to go to everyday has truly been paramount not only to her happiness, but also to allow us to safely perform our job functions. They have taken an endless amount of precautions to ensure our children are as safe as humanly possible from the virus and they have also put a huge impact on the safety of their employees. They have been supportive to all families, even the ones who chose to keep their children home during this time, and are consistently communicating every policy they are using to keep parents informed. The current pandemic is really showing what companies are genuine/caring/successful and what companies don't care about their employees and clients what so ever. The Goddard School of Derry has not only proved to us how incredible of a facility they are, but they far exceeded any of our expectations of a childcare institution. No other daycare could compare.

The most expensive glorified daycare there is with both owner and director having no child skills…read moreand no desire to even be around children or wanting anything to do with parents. There's zero communication no matter how hard you try unless you count passive aggressive e-mails days to weeks later. Sure you get a few photos during the day but try getting a hold of anyone and the phone just rings, or you never get a phone call or e-mail back. Teachers seem inexperienced to actually teach anything worthwhile, pre-k and k are run like a daycare just with tables labeled "art", "snacks" and so forth. Their scapegoat is to say they emphasize "learning through play" so they don't have to put in the effort. $1000 month for HALF days but nothing to show for this insane amount of tuition besides other kids families bringing in goody bags or snacks. They make you fill out novels of paperwork beforehand but don't even read the documents they make you turn in! Your child has a food allergy? They ignore it and give your child that food. My kiddo comes home saying they had a stomachache and told the teacher they felt sick, but you get no report or phone call?! - just to find out with questioning your child that they're feeding your kiddo their allergen!! The next day they sent him home WITH his allergen food AFTER I called and asked why he was eating said allergen and the teacher called me saying " I didn't see that but I'm looking at it now" say what?!! To add insult to injury they make you give 30 days paid notice to unenroll and then you finally get communication FAST from their see you aunt tee director demanding payment, daily kind you.. demanding it daily. Please research and read other reviews that say exactly this about this disgraceful "school". I wish I had and saved 2k.
