SUDBURY, MA —A new early education center focusing on students under age 6 recently opened in Sudbury. The new Goddard School is located near the Roche Bros. along the Boston Post Road.

Here's more from a Goddard School news release:

The Goddard School the nation’s leading premier early childhood education franchise, has opened its first location in Sudbury. The nationally acclaimed childcare provider’s expansion into the Boston suburb offers more parents in the community peace of mind, knowing they have another option for their children to safely return to the classroom in a nurturing environment. As childcare and early childhood education continues to play a pivotal role in the lives of parents and their young children, The Goddard School of Sudbury is currently enrolling children ages 6 weeks to 6 years old.

The play-based learning experience offered at The Goddard School uses the most current, academically endorsed methods in early childhood education so children can explore, learn and discover through many different subjects and enrichment classes. From learning how to communicate using sign language to practicing yoga and mindfulness, Goddard helps children develop interests and use their imagination.

The Goddard School’s curriculum on social-emotional development also educates children on how to be kind to themselves and others, further helping students become school ready, career ready and life ready. Students at The Goddard School will experience Life Lesson Library, The Goddard School’s targeted curriculum built around great works of children’s literature focusing on social and emotional learning. Books featured in Life Lesson Library were carefully curated by early childhood education experts and Goddard teachers and feature relatable characters and stories used to authentically teach and connect with children.

The Goddard School of Sudbury is owned by Pakistani-born Farzeen Fareed. She has extensive experience in early childhood education, having run her own home-based childcare for 24 years. This is a family affair for Fareed, who is partnering with her four children to open the school. Fareed and her children, all of whom are engineers, are passionate about and understand the importance of including science technology, engineering, art and math (STEAM) in early childhood education.

“I love everything about Goddard—from the education and learning philosophy offered to young children, the focus on STEAM for all age groups, the quality insurance program to make sure each and every child is receiving the best education in a safe and secure environment and everything in between—and I’m so proud to offer this premier learning experience to area families,” said Fareed. “The support offered to franchisees and continuous educational development for teachers will enable my staff and I to provide the highest quality early childhood education to our students.”

The Goddard School of Sudbury remains committed to ensuring a safe, high quality learning experience and have implemented health and safety protocols such as health checks before entry, virtual tours, professional cleanings each night and the latest sanitization technologies. In addition to the heightened health and safety protocols Goddard Schools across the country have implemented since the start of the pandemic, this new location is using the ZONO Disinfecting and Sanitizing Cabinet to sanitize any shared materials used daily by children, such as toys and building materials.

Located at 437 Boston Post Road, this new 15,000-square-foot early childhood education center is equipped with an indoor gym and two outdoor playgrounds with state-of-the-art equipment. The 14 classrooms have enough space to provide care for and educate about 166 infants through pre-kindergarteners.
