After searching the area for what we considered the type of learning environment we wanted our child in we were very disappointed...Then one day my wife called and said "I've found the place! You have to see it..." and it was Goddard School in Northboro. It was worth every penny. My child was immersed in a social and educational environment that had her more than prepared for what "big kid school" had waiting for her. Goddard has excellent structure. They have detailed weekly themes and plans and daily reports that can be as involved as you need. How much your child ate...bathroom trips...sleeping...you name it. They have a great classroom setup divided by age...from wee little babies all the way to the big kids on their way to school in a year. They even have transitional periods for the kids to adjust to new rooms and they try their best to send kids up in small groups together. How great is it when your child makes great friends at such a young age. The place was always clean. The bathrooms were clean...The outdoor play areas were varied and exciting for the kids. Next time you see an open house step in an check it out. Your child will some day thank you for it... It sure beats sitting them in front of a tv for 4 years until they start school... Nothing is better than a child rolling into kindergarten reading and writing and doing math! Goddard had safe, isolated computers in every room for the kids to learn PC skills and play learning games on. Putt Putt saves the Zoo will forever be synonymous with computer time for my child. Your results may vary...but the odds are greatly improved with Goddard School.

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.

Let me preface this by saying that taking a left-turn out of the parking lot is a giant pain but…read moreit's not worth taking off stars for. It's on Route 20. People can be really lovely and will let you out and it's certainly easier in the summer months to do the school run. Enough said. Moving on... We moved our 18 month-old here after leaving Knowledge Beginnings in Maynard after they lost him one day on the playground. He then went to another daycare for a transition period but that was shutdown due to a (very expensive) typhoid outbreak. So my son enrolled in NGCC after being at a series of schools with compliance violations from losing kids to unvaccinated staff. As an obsessive researcher of all things, I'm pleased to note that NGCC's state compliance records are gorgeous, suitable for framing. We enrolled our LO in NGCC blindly after a recommendation from another parent who left KinderCare and enrolled their LO at NGCC with great results. We loved the data and information that NGCC shared with us about development and preparation for Kindergarten. (As a mildly obsessive PhD, I love all the data and learning opportunities!) It made us feel confident that we were making a good choice for LO and that he would thrive there. I can say that after about a month at NGCC, LO loves it. I love that it's like a proper school setting with a professional front desk, excellent security, it's set back from the road, leadership is accessible, and staff seem content and loyalty is strong. The cost of care is very reasonable and I feel like I should be paying more for the services we receive as part of tuition! The facilities are wonderful, too. I feel great arriving at 4.55 or 5.00 on the dot to find a parking lot and lobby full of other working parents which was utterly absent from the KinderCare and the transitional school. There's an unspoken camaraderie among working parents which is reassuring. They give him lunch every day which has helped us expand his palate and nutritional options and also given us back some time in the evening as a family. Overall, he's sleeping better, no more mysterious bumps and bruises, if he gets a bump, someone calls me immediately, and he's just overall a happier little guy. They're so hands-on and very in-tune with child development. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend NGCC to anyone and it's not surprising there's a high demand for placement there!

If you are a person of color do not bother! It was either me or my daughter that this school did…read morenot like, I took my daughter because i wanted her to have some social interactions with kids her age seeing that every person in our house was above 16. Before we started i was asked what i hoped to gain told them my child was potty training i would love for it if they continued; then i noticed on her reports she had more wet diapers than potty tries. I inquired about this they said i was layering too much! reduce the layers and now she only wore sweatpants still the same, they said the pull up i provided were not the right ones and i need to use the ones that they used. My husband got the ones that they wanted but still the wet diapers were more. when i inquired how frequent she was put on the potty i get a call telling me that my daughter is acting different crying all day and they have kids to attend too since she is not the only one. My baby was 26 months and could not be comforted when she was in distress as if they are providing me free services or they do not know the number of kids in the class. In the morning when i went to drop her off the teacher at the door completely ignored us another teacher had to come to great us. if possible i would give them 0 stars. When i went to pick my child's belonging they didn't even bother to inquiry how she was doing. Just passing by the school gives her truama so much so that she know our entire route to home she will call out the ice cream place her doctor's office mere shopping but pretend when we get to that school

I attended Learning Prep School (LPS) in Newton, Massachusetts, many years ago. Looking back, I can…read morehonestly say that this school played a much bigger role in my success than I ever realized at the time. When I was a student, I didn't always have a positive opinion of the school. I often felt like the teachers were too hard on me, that I wasn't getting the support I needed, and that I was constantly being pushed beyond what I thought I was capable of. At the time, I didn't understand why they approached things the way they did, and there were certainly days when I couldn't stand being there. Now, years later, my perspective has completely changed. I've come to realize that many of those teachers weren't trying to make my life difficult. They were trying to prepare me for the real world. They pushed me, challenged me, held me accountable, and refused to let me settle for less than what they believed I was capable of achieving. Today, I own and operate a successful plumbing and heating company, employing 15 individuals, four of whom are on the autism spectrum. Running a business comes with challenges every single day, and I still find myself using lessons, skills, and ways of thinking that I learned while attending LPS. It's funny how something you don't appreciate as a teenager can turn out to be one of the most valuable experiences of your life. I think one of the biggest things LPS taught me was that having learning challenges doesn't mean you can't be successful. Sometimes you just need people who recognize your potential, even when you don't see it yourself, and who are willing to push you to reach it. I don't know where I would be today if I hadn't attended Learning Prep School. I genuinely believe the education, structure, and guidance I received there helped shape the person and business owner I've become. To the teachers and staff who worked with me all those years ago, thank you. I probably didn't make your jobs easy, and I certainly didn't appreciate everything you were doing for me back then. But I appreciate it now more than you could ever know. For any parents considering LPS for their child, I would encourage you to look beyond how your child might feel about the school in the moment. Sometimes the teachers who challenge us the most are the ones who end up making the biggest difference in our lives. Thank you, Learning Prep School, for seeing something in me that I couldn't see in myself.
