I have 2 children that have attended Woodside and if I could give 10 stars I would. The teachers…read morehere are each passionate about the age group they teach. Each of my children had strength in some subjects and challenges in others. Teachers personalized plans to give them the support and push to thrive. Now my oldest is in HS. He engages with teachers, develops his own study plan, and looks for challenges on his own. None of the other schools we looked at would have given the experiences he had at Woodside. 10/10 for us.

During early COVID times we enrolled our two boys in Woodside because my husband and I both work…read moreoutside the home. It was intended to be a temporary change from our local public school because we and they needed in person learning 5 days a week and a solid plan for remote teaching if needed. Now 6 years later, our oldest is in high school and our youngest just entered middle school. Both boys thrived in the tight knit community and small class sizes and our oldest has had a seamless transition into a very different/ larger high school. The opportunities for travel, learning outside a traditional classroom, and mastering the nuances of self motivation/ executive function skills were outstanding. In addition, they have the opportunity to work with younger students and have classroom responsibilities as a way to foster community strength. The teachers care about the whole student and provide the right amount of nurturing and academic rigor while emphasizing kindness and empathy. As parents, my husband and I could not be more satisfied with the school. Leadership is thoughtful and intentional with their policies. For example, during COVID they had solid protocols for safety and the school stayed in session from fall 2020 on without any gaps in education. They have been transparent about any changes to policies and challenges that they face as a small school. I have always felt heard and respected by leadership and teachers- they welcome parent involvement and feedback. I would highly recommend Woodside- it has been an integral part of shaping my boys into intelligent and empathetic individuals with strong critical thinking and diverse interests.

My four-year-old son transferred to The Goddard School midway through Pre-K. I switched him because…read morewe had a bad experience at a neighboring preschool. I couldn't be happier with my decision to enroll him in The Goddard School. The Goddard School is a modern preschool with all of the bells and whistles--cutting-edge curriculum, dynamic educators, state-of-the-art security-- with a huge heart. That's a key differentiator here...heart. It's what was sorely lacking at the other preschool my son attended. The owner, director, and support staff truly care about each and every child. When I drop my son off every morning, he can't wait to get to his classroom to play with the interactive toys, explore the sensory tables, and read in the cozy book nooks (he loves bringing in books from home to share with his class; this school does a beautiful job of promoting a lifetime love of reading). The outdoor play area is always a hit...as is pizza day (the school orders pizza for the kids on Thursdays and he loves it!). The facility is clean and inviting. I know my son has support, guidance, and materials he needs to thrive in Kindergarten at The Goddard School, but that's not all. He's welcomed with open arms; he's challenged academically; he's encouraged to believe in himself; he's well cared for; he's celebrated for his successes. He smiles widely when I ask him about his day...and I am often surprised when he tells me the Spanish word for something out of nowhere, or shows me a new yoga pose. I didn't teach him those things...his teachers did. I recommend The Goddard School without hesitation or reservation. Enrolling my child was one of the best decisions I have made as a mom.

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.
