Meet Danielle Owner

Welcome to The Goddard School! My journey with The Goddard School began in 2009, and in 2018, I embraced the role of Owner with an unwavering commitment to excellence. As the Owner, I consider it both an honor and a privilege to be on-site at our school every day. My presence here is not merely a responsibility; it's a genuine devotion to our families and the pursuit of excellence in our program. I strive to be a valuable resource to our families and a steadfast advocate for the quality of education and care that we provide. What makes this experience even more special for me is that my three children, aged 7, 5, and 3, are all part of our school's warm and nurturing community. It's a testament to the trust and confidence I have in the remarkable educational environment we have created here. I invite you to join us in celebrating not just a school, but a place of learning, growth, and the boundless potential of every child who walks through our doors.

Kase's Mother

Infant Classroom

My child has received high quality care and a wonderful education at the Goddard School of Old Bridge. I have always been pleased with the Goddard standards, because I know how high those standards are. But what keeps us at this Goddard is the level and care that these teachers and staff pour into our child. We are known, my child is known, and very few things are more important when you are trusting the care and upbringing of your child to others.
