They all truly have the child's best interest at heart and know just what each child needs to be successful. Their communication is invaluable and they really encourage a sense of community that is both warm and nurturing. Their facilities are impeccably clean, well-manicured, and welcoming. We adore the Teddy Bear Club and have been so blessed to have been able to send our children to this amazing facility.

The teachers are fantastic, the facilities are amazing and the curriculum is so well thought out. This is such a special school that teaches kids in a fun and impactful way. It marries the best of the French education system with the American system. We have been unbelievably happy parents for 4 years now, and all of our children have gone to this school. My daughter actually asks to go to school even when she's sick as she doesn't want to miss a day...if that's not the biggest endorsement, I don't know what is! I only wish it didn't end after Kindergarten!

We have been part of the Weston Wing family for 3 years, entering our 4th year now, and we couldn't…read morebe happier!! My two boys LOVE the place and the teachers! My older son has graduated from Weston Wing (now in K), and he grew so much over the past three years. He is now completely ready for Kindergarten thanks to his amazing teachers! I do wish he could have had another year at Weston Wing, in their new TK (Transitional Kindergarten) program, especially since a long-time Weston public school (K) teacher is teaching that class. The teachers are all caring and extremely attentive, ensuring every student gets the attention she/he needs. The director is always on top of everything, and gets to know each and every single student and their families very well. The facilities are amazing, and they had a major renovation done in classrooms. Everything is clean and sparkling! Their new playground is perfect for the kids, huge, and away from the street, nicely tucked in. They do ask for donations, but it's a non-profit, so they would need donations to help with having more facilities for our own children! Donations are obviously completely voluntary, but we witnessed how the money went directly into making better playgrounds and classrooms. We toured many other daycares/preschools before we settled on Weston Wing, and I have to say, it was love at first sight! The caring people, the atmosphere, the clean environment, and just everything was what we had hoped for. A huge plus for us is their flexibility with our schedules, and being able to add hours if something comes up. With both of us working, this has been an added bonus for us! Thank you Weston Wing for making our kids (and us) so happy! So happy that my youngest one drove us nuts over the long weekend because he wanted to go to school! We are VERY lucky to be a part of your family!

Wonderful school with fantastic, experienced teachers, attentive staff and an amazing play- based…read morecurriculum. I can't say enough great things about Weston Wing! The school embraces the well researched and documented play- based curriculum. As opposed to sitting in front of a computer screen, or name-writing drills, Weston Wing students learn through age appropriate play and STEM based activities. All 4 of our children have attended Weston Wing. Our oldest has been so well prepared for kindergarten that their teacher has commented on their preparedness, abilities and successes in the classroom. The school campus is unmatched, not only have the classrooms been recently renovated, but the outdoor space is incredible - a brand new climbing structure, swing set, large playhouse, expansive sand area, hard top for riding activities, and a great hill for winter "sledding". Healthy snacks are provided to all of the children in the morning and in the afternoon and always include fresh fruit and/or veggies. In addition, the school has a garden where many different vegetables and herbs are planted, cared for and enjoyed by the students. We researched many different schools for our children and Weston Wing's pricing is right in line with (and often less expensive than) nearby schools. As a non-profit organization they offer optional opportunities for donations. The children and the school community as a whole benefit from any and all donations (i.e. playground updates, special programs such as aquarium visits, etc). At no time have we EVER felt pressured to contribute! We feel so lucky to have found Weston Wing. Not only have our children learned from the most caring and experienced team of teachers (& Director) I've ever seen, they have also blossomed socially. They have formed many close friendships that will last into elementary school and beyond!! What more could you possibly ask for?

We LOVE the Goddard School, Weston. Our daughter, who is in 3rd grade constantly tells us that it…read morewas her favorite school ever! Our son, just graduated from the school to start kindergarten. He was very nervous and sad to leave. Leaving this school was harder than the actual milestone of starting kindergarten at a new school. The facility is new (5 years old). We have been with them from the beginning. The inside of the school is clean, inviting, and is in a super convenient location. We can't say enough about the Staff and the Teachers. They are all so warm and loving. They honored all of my nervous "new Mom" requests, especially in the early days when I was so cautious about leaving my first child. The curriculum was age appropriate for each stage our children were in and prepared them well to start elementary school. The school was truly a blessing for us. When the ups and downs of life got crazy, the Goddard School was the one consistent and dependable factor. We are incredibly grateful for the love and support over the years as well as the lifelong friendships we developed with other parents, teachers, and faculty.

The owners are unprofessional, and seem to have no experience in dealing with kids. The…read moreenvironment is not friendly and safe for kids. Owner's children attend the school, and teachers and owners are biased toward their behavior in the class room. They are not receptive of any suggestions, but rather like to be defensive of their behavior. Complete let down. It is an example of unprofessional and inexperience owners running this school and misusing the Goddard School banner. I have great experience at Braintree, Goddard school but would never want my child to go to Weston-Goddard. Feel free to contact me for details. --------------------------- Please note timing of two recent "5 star" reviews and one reviewer even commenting on the first negative review. This further confirms my concerns about the owners to be manipulative and untrustworthy. I want to sincerely spread the message out to the parents who are looking to enroll their kids in Weston Goddard. Two months of attending Weston-Goddard was a traumatizing experience for my son. He barely survived bullying atmosphere of owner's children in the class room and biased treatment of owners. This school has a policy to put a 4 year child in a small wooden box or cube called "safety cube" in order to calm him/ her down. How terrifying? My son was traumatized by this experience. I wish no child to go through this. We experienced unprofessional behaviors from the school owners when I dis-enrolled my son from the school. My son in his new school is happy and SAFE, and that is all what matters to me. Please spread the words and reach out to me if you are considering Weston-Goddard school.

I could not imagine a more warm welcome to a new place for our son, who runs into school every morning and talks about how much he loves his teachers and friends every night. From really creative classroom curriculum to outstanding communication between administration, teachers, and parents, we have confidence that our son is in the place that is best for him. We also have confidence that the Beginnings team is doing everything the right way in regards to keeping the whole community safe and healthy. I highly recommend Beginnings School to other families looking for an engaging and fun place dedicated to thoughtfully educating your children.

The teachers are well-trained to scaffold the most important dimensions of early learning: social-emotional development and self-help skills. Pre-academic tasks are weaved through play and conversation and children are quick to adopt a growth mindset, which is one of the most necessary indicators of future success. I highly recommend Beginnings for any parent or educator looking for a truly special, unique school that will give them or their children the tools needed to thrive.

The communication is awesome! The classes are great, the teachers are wonderful and they use the entire college campus as a learning zone. They have science classes at the college science center. They visit the college President, they have the early education professors read to them. The college interns build a vegetable garden with them. They have yoga and music class with this guy Philip. They keep the kiddo to parent ratio down with the help of the college interns. I can't say how happy my son was. At the end of the year they give you a binder with all those pictures, it's cute! I pulled him out of a bad day care and didn't know how good a place was until I put him in Regis. Highly recommend checking it out. The down side, the place is expensive. It is the price of Beginnings School in Weston yet they have more days off (they are closed during college breaks). But like I said, I would pay it again because we thought it was worth every penny.
