Information from Susan

Happy Summer! Everyone always assumes that it is “quiet” around here in the summer, but nothing could be farther from the truth! Between the activity of special visitors, field trips, swimming lessons and the planning for September, we are quite busy. The children really enjoy the diversion of the “summer fun” and the break before the new school year. If you have any questions about summer or fall, just stop by the office.

From the Directors' Chair

I would just like to take this opportunity to thank all the families of The Goddard School of Hillsborough for a wonderful 6+ years. Watching your children grow has made this experience worthwhile. The Goddard families have become a daily part of my and my children’s lives. We will miss all of you.

Thank you!
