I enrolled my daughter when she was 3 years old. At that time, she had a language delay, was extremely shy, had never been in daycare and had a medical illness that required diet oversight and medicine during the day. With all of that, I was very nervous about enrolling her in any program-until I went to The Goddard School. This school is fantastic. The owners, Clay and Gina are on site every day as are the directors, Angela and Lauren. All of the teachers are incredible. The facility is clean, state of the art (computers, new educational toys, etc), spacious and they have a great fenced in playground in the back. I am so pleased with the progress my daughter has made at the Goddard School. Her speech delay is no longer an issue, she is definitely not shy, she loves going to school there and they have always looked after her diet and made sure she gets her medicine. This is a top-notch daycare/school. The bottom line, beyond educating and caring for your child, is that you want them to be in a place that is safe. I know my child is safe at The Goddard School. ps-they also have a great summer program which my older daughter loves to attend as well!!

Recently, our family moved to Rhode Island from New Jersey where our children had attended The Goddard School. We loved The Goddard School program, values and people. Upon relocating though, we didnt know where we would send our 3 year old son. We were thrilled to discover The Goddard School in South County Commons! Clay and Gina Johnson welcomed our family with open arms and partnered with us to nurture and educate our son. And he had fun there! Additionally, our son has a severe peanut allergy that needed to be managed while attending school. My fears were laid to rest. Gina always worked with me to ensure the snacks that were provided were safe, the teachers were trained to used an Epi-pen and emergency procedures and it was never made to be an issue. I never had to worry about his safety. We have since graduated from The Goddard School but are still friends with many of the families we met during our time there. I highly recommend this school for early child care and preschool!

The Goddard School in South Kingstown was an outstanding experience for both my daughter and myself. Over the two years our daughter attended the school, she was constantly engaged with the professional staff and show remarkable improvement in her learning skills. The Goddard School facility and staff is amongst the best we have seen in the southern RI area. The staff worked closely with us to ensure all our paperwork was completed and processed in a timely manner. This meant a great deal of financial stress was lifted from our lives. I would 100% recommend this institution for both day care and Pre-school. Thank you again for making my daughters transition to elementary school seemless. Matthew N. Daly MAJ, US Army

***** 5 STARS!!! The Goddard School has an excellent ownership and director team and the faculty and resource staff are amazing with the children! Clay and Gina are extremely professional and are very attentive and involved with their school. Miss Lauren and all the faculty and staff are super friendly and supportive of the children. The school has a very strong identity and sense of community. We toured several schools in the area and some were really good, but The Goddard school was at a completely different level than the rest. If you want a great school for your child(ren), I highly recommend The Goddard School in Wakefield, RI!!!

Our son started attending Goddard when he was 14 weeks old and we were absolutely thrilled with every aspect of the care, the teachers in each room, the schools security and the owners and directors. It was so much easier to go to work each day knowing my son was happy and well cared for, not to mention learning a lot. If you live in south or central Rhode Island, this school is definitely a great choice for child care and early childhood education. The only reason we are not still at the school is that we have moved out of state. We miss Goddard, but are relieved to have found good daycare/childhood education in our new community.

This is such a wonderful, happy place-we cant imagine feeling more confident about leaving our baby in their hands every work day! Its like leaving him with family-except Goddard has all the toys and sign language our little guy can take in! We first brought our son to Goddard at six months. After looking around at every recommended school in the area, we made the easy choice of Goddard. At first entry, you can tell this place is different. It even smells better than the rest! I love going in there after a long day and theres my little guy-camped out on the lap of a beloved teacher. Its even okay that he doesnt always want to leave!

Our daughter who is now 4, has attended The Goddard School since she was 3 months old. We have been very happy with the staff, facility & learning programs there. In her most recent class room, they have the kids "sign in" when they get there in the morning. By this, they have them trace the letters of their own name on a little board. Our daughter not only recognized the letters of her name but could write her name by 3 1/2 years old! We have complete confidence that when we bring her there for the day, she will be looked after in a nurturing, fun and clean learning environment.

I can not say enough about the Goddard School. Our oldest graduated last year and is now in kindergarten. Going into kindergarten he was so much more prepared than all of the other kids in the class thanks to Goddard. They taught him so much and he is that much better off. I have a two year old also that attends. I always worried about dropping my kids off at a daycare and them not wanting to go but that is not the case. They love going there. The teachers, directors and owners are extremely friendly and it shows in how much they care for the kids.

The peace of mind that Goddard School has provided to me for the past four years has been invaluable. We now have 2 children at Goddard, ages 4 and almost 1. The care that the teachers provide and the understanding and flexibility from the owners and director are unbeatable. I feel confident leaving my boys at Goddard and can continue on and focus at work without worrying about my childrens care. I know they are in good hands while being stimulated- learning and having fun with friends. Goddard School is truly an extension to our family.

My family had a wonderful experience at The Goddard School in South Kingstown. My son attended Goddard for approximately three years, from age 2 to age 5. Each room was great, with attentive and nurturing teachers. The Goddard School prepared my son for kindergarten, both socially and academically. He loved going to school there each day. The owners are awesome and provide a safe, caring and clean environment for all children that feels like an extended family. An excellent choice for childcare all around!

My daughter has attended Goddard School for over 3 years now and we continue to love the school, teachers and management. My daughters development has far exceeded my expectations. This is due to quality teachers, low teacher/student ratio and program design. The facility is clean, bright and designed specifically for each age group as they progress from one classroom to the next. My daughters unique needs are met and she is well cared for. At Goddard learning is fun! I wish I could be a kid again! KC
