We have been affiliated with this school for the last four years, and we have watched the exemplary influence that they have had on our children. All of the staff, including the directors, teachers and other staff members have provided an excellent curriculum, a safe environment, and a nurturing and caring atmosphere for all children that attend this school. -Rebecca Avallone (one child attended in past and one child currently attending)

She went from scream crying every day to running into the classroom into the teachers arms. They are so warm and encouraging and knowing that my daughter is happy all day long is the biggest relief! Thank you Cadence!!!

The Goddard School of Monroe, Connecticut is the absolute gold standard in early childhood…read moreeducation. Both of my children (ages 18 mos. and 4 years) are currently enrolled. The teachers and assistants at the school are superb. In as little as two weeks, my preschooler's vocabulary has improved tenfold and he is now completely engaged in learning. It is apparent that the teachers here give a lot of thought to and take great pride in creating their lesson plans. As for my toddler, the individualized attention he receives here has greatly improved his cognitive and fine motor skills. Each day, parents receive a report that includes daily activities such as personal care (meals, naps, etc.), curriculum, and photos. This is very special for parents as it keeps us completely connected during the work day. Administratively, the school is run flawlessly. The Directors are professional, courteous and responsive to the needs of the children and concerns of parents. My only wish is that The Goddard School went beyond Pre-K! Thank you Goddard School for taking such wonderful care of my children!

The level of care, compassion, individualized attention and age appropriate curriculum at Goddard Monroe is truly impressive and so appreciated by our family. We came to Goddard from another highly regarded center nearby, and I am so grateful we did. It's apparent to me that the teachers like what they are doing, and that transfers to how they interact with the kids. Both of our boys grew more fond of and attached to their teachers at Goddard in 2 weeks than they did in the previous year at their old school. The daily updates, pictures and reports are a nice way to feel connected to the kids during the day. It gives us great info to be able to engage our kids in conversation about their day. Along with the teachers, the Directors are amazing as well. They are accessible and have truly taken the time to get to know the kids. They also have their own kids in the program, which speaks volumes. Overall, I cannot recommend Goddard enough and we are so grateful to have found such amazing people to care for our children.

This is a local gem. I called on Saturday morning to see if there was any last-minute availability…read morefor a trail ride for 2. Fortunately for us, we got a spot and were saddled up 3 hours later. We enjoyed an hour trail ride on a lovely sunny day. Our trail guides John was very helpful and quite pleasant, along with Kristine and Roseanne. They took extra care personally assuring each rider was comfortable during the ride. We've had a proper instructions before going for a trail ride. Absolutely a friendly energy from everyone we interacted with. The facilities were well maintained, and the horses seemed super happy and healthy. Those horses were rescued and they seem truly cared for and loved and I respect any organization that takes such care of their animals. We felt the positive energy as soon as we stept on the property. Excellent experience!

If you want fancy, then this is not it, but if you want to board your horse and he be happy, this is it. Lots of space and turn out time. And the other review about being tied to a pole and being left there, that is good for the horse to learn patience, my horse often goes through this exercise and is learning how to wait and be a good boy, if he ever needs to be tied up somewhere else, he will know how to wait for me, duh. This person clearly doesn't know anything about horse and he's just talking nonsense. I'm sure he paid very affordable for those lessons. That's why it's done like that. If you want professional teaching his kid, he should definitely had gone somewhere else that would be a lot more expensive obviously. It's like he's paying cheap prices and expecting luxury kind of service. Besides, he doesn't know clearly anything about how horses are trained !! This place you get what you pay for. Affordable. Great people. Happy horses. No nonsense.
