My daughters both attended Goddard. My eldest started when she was 15-months-old and our youngest enrolled when she was 5-months-old. Both of my children loved attending The Goddard School® located on Kuser Road in Hamilton and they still talk about it today. My oldest daughter is currently in middle school and my youngest is in elementary school and they are both doing very well. I graduated from Rider College with a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration and I went to work for Merrill Lynch soon after I graduated. I spent seven years at Merrill until I went to work for Prudential Securities in New York City. While I enjoyed both of my jobs I always wanted to run my own business. Based on the positive experience my wife and I had with our children at The Goddard School®, my wife suggested that I run my own Goddard School. With the encouragement from my family and the owner of the School in Hamilton, I decided to open a School. It has taken many years to get to this point in my life and I am very excited about our School in Delran. The families I have met to date have been awesome and I look forward to working with them and everyone involved in this School to create the very best environment to care for your children.
