  Amazing Amazing team at Goddard. The teachers and directors in charge have been exceptional. They always go above and beyond for the children. They have a genuine love and passion for the children. They provide a loving environment where all my 3 children are thriving!

  As a Hastings resident, we are very lucky to have this Pre-K school close by. The owners do a fantastic job with its operation and we feel like our 2 year old is in great hands. The facility is very nice, the teachers are wonderful, and the staff is very responsive and friendly.

  We love the Goddard school of Hastings on Hudson. The whole school (from teachers to staff and admin) has welcomed us and we quickly felt part of a warm and friendly community where the whole family is taken care of. Goddard has an amazing curriculum, plenty of extra curricular activities, attention and understanding of parents needs….we are amazed with the teachers, their care and their commitment. We simply cannot recommend it anymore. :)

  Excellent schedule for working parents, open most days, rarely delays or closures but for exceptional circumstances, very professional teachers and staff, clean classrooms and facilities, good extracurricular activities. Children are well prepared in academics and practical life skills. Altogether very happy with the school.

  Both of my daughters attended Goddard since they were babies. The school provided a safe and nurturing environment for my kids to learn. The teachers were caring and enthusiastic. I highly recommend this school

  My child attended the toddler class and now in preschool class (age 3). She has felt safe, happy and dealing with social interactions with classmates well. We initially thought about changing schools when she got to preK 3 but the hours are great; she has a regular group of kids and teachers she knows. The staff calls me after every incident so I am aware and can observe later in the day. They send a report to email daily about what she learned and what she ate and potty breaks (not 100% accurate but generally true.) They helped potty train her. They have monthly parents night out for parents and the kids get to stay in school- watch a movie and eat dinner and dessert. They are peanut free and accommodating to other food allergies- it’s clear to the people in the class if there are food allergens to be avoided. They provide 2 healthy snacks a day and you provide lunch with pizza Friday as an option- which we do take advantage of. Lots of programs a month and flexibility with taking your child out and bringing them back. My daughter is lucky and has not had any major illnesses but I do take her to her doctor to be cleared before coming back. It is a well program so you have to have outside assistance if your child is sick but I haven’t heard anything about outlandish quarantine practices. Good school and nice families- very diverse group of folks.
