Testimonials
"Two of my kids spent their preschool years in the Goddard School located in Hamilton. Mr. Fred is incredible and truly cares for the kids who attend his daycare. My son is now in 7th grade and has been a straight "A" student since he entered school. I know that the teachers at The Goddard School prepared him for school. My daughter loved The Goddard School, all her teachers there, and Mr. Fred. She just started Kindergarten. I know she will do well because of all that she learned in Goddard. I trusted that my kids were safe when they were at Goddard and knew that they were not only having fun, but learning too!"

"The Goddard School in Hamilton has been everything we hoped it would be for our boys. We visited so many preschools looking for a center that was more than a daycare - this Goddard is truly a school from the moment the children enter. The owner, Fred, has found a team of dedicated and enthusiastic teachers. I have to mention that my mother was a preschool teacher at one of the most prestigious private schools in NJ and she's been so impressed by the teachers at this Goddard. Thanks for taking such good care of our boys!"
-The Berton Family
"The Goddard School on Kuser Road was the BEST decision we ever made. We made an investment in our child's future and today he graduates Pre-kindergarten completing first grade work! The staff and Mr. Fred are wonderful. I couldn't think of any other place I would rather have my son while we are at work."
-The Teques Family
"Mr. Fred runs a very nice school and hires good people. We brought our daughter here from another school that ended up not being so nice. She was welcomed at Goddard and they did a great job of helping her adjust to the change. 21/2 years later she can't wait to get up and go to school. We have a hard time getting her to leave. The staff is competent, professional and addresses any concern we have promptly. We highly recommend The Goddard School [located in] Hamilton."

"Love Love LOVE this school! I really cannot say enough about how wonderful this school is. The teachers are exceptional and the owner, Mr. Fred, really cares about all of the children, families and teachers. When choosing a school I was so underwhelmed with the appearance of most of the schools in the area, they seemed corporate. As soon as I walked into The Goddard School, I knew that this was the place that I would send my son. It was so cheerful and welcoming! I can honestly say that this is, hands down, the best school in Hamilton."
-The Jackson Family
"Highly recommend Mr. Fred's Goddard School [located in] Hamilton on Kuser Road. My daughter attended Goddard since she was 6 months old. As a full time working mom, it was extremely important to know that the place I am sending my infant for 10 hours every day is the best school I can provide. I can say without a doubt, that the care provided by this school (and it is truly a school, not a daycare) for her was nothing short of outstanding. She has blossomed into a very social, healthy, smart 5 year old girl and I can say with full confidence it is due in large part to the guidance she received by her teachers at this school. I will forever be thankful for the loving nature of its owner and teachers and highly recommend to anyone in need of childcare. With that, we start our new chapter in Kindergarten and she couldn't be more ready thanks to Mr. Fred's school."

"Highly recommend Goddard in Hamilton! I have a 2 year old who started at Goddard in Hamilton when he was 5 months old. The staff in the Infant room was fantastic! The activities and motor skills they worked on daily helped him grow at a fantastic rate! The child to staff ratio is low which means your child will receive a great amount of attention. We can't say enough good things about The Goddard School [located in] Hamilton on Kuser Road. We are fortunate to have them in our area. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a great, safe place to bring their child!"

"Wonderful!!! I have 2 children ages 11 months and 2 1/2 attending The Goddard School on Kuser Road in Hamilton, NJ. Without doubt this is a truly wonderful school!!! While pregnant with my first child I began looking at every school/daycare possible; I cannot tell you how very scared and upset I was while visiting these daycares. The things I saw made me want to quit working and stay home. I saw everything from children being ignored, a child left crying in a corner, to an owner of a daycare getting mad and yelling because she had to get a child a band aid. WOW! Really, I thought? Not to mention how unsanitary some of these places were. I visited Goddard on Kuser many times (unannounced) and always felt welcomed. They have taken such wonderful care of both of my children since they were 7 weeks old. Not only are they learning so much from this school but they are having a wonderful time doing it. My husband and I feel very lucky to have found them."
-The Aldarelli Family
"I trust them with my most valuable possession. Mr. Fred is the man and his staff is the best. Was at another corporately run daycare and the turnover amongst teachers was almost daily. The staff at Goddard never changes and they seem like they truly love their job."

"Top Notch! I enrolled my son and daughter at this school a few months ago. We came from another Goddard in the area. The differences are incredible. The staff of this school are friendly and helpful. The school is clean and the hours are great. Being a mother who works full time I rely on daycare for my children. My daughter is in the infant room and the women in the room are wonderful. They are always sweet and friendly and take excellent care of her. They treat her like she is their child. I could not be happier. My son is 4 1/2 and he is in another class. he has developmental issues and the teachers care for him and have patience with him. The curriculum keeps him stimulated and busy. I wish I had gone here years ago. They have tons of activities for the children year round. I could not be happier with my decision to enroll here and I have not found one other person who feels differently."

"A+++++School. As a NJ educator I am very happy with this school. The staff, including the office staff, make you feel as if you are part of their family. My daughter is almost 3 and has flourished since she arrived in January. I highly recommend this school."

"I'm writing to tell you how happy my wife and I are with our decision to send Ava to The Goddard School. It is impossible to list the many positive changes we have seen since Ava started in September. Ms. Nely, Ms. Krystina and Mr. Fred - we can't thank you enough and we couldn't be happier with the Goddard School (located on Kuser Road in Hamilton)."
- The R. Family
"There are no words to express how thankful we are to have found your school! The past five-and-a-half years have been amazing and we are so thrilled with how much Christopher has learned and developed under your care. We will miss the comfort of knowing our child was safe, in his home away from home, with his Goddard family. Thank you for being you and all the pretzels."
- The R. Family
"We cannot thank you enough for providing a safe, happy, fun and smart environment for Lauren! My only regret is that she did not have more time at your school."
- The S. Family
"Aeryn has had a wonderful time these past three years at Goddard... What struck me most, amongst my first impressions, was the caring and attentive staff. Every teacher and administrator knew the names of every single child in the school. I could only leave Aeryn in a place where she would be loved and supported and made part of a family. This sense of family helps parents feel comfortable with all the staff and even other parents. I am convinced that Goddard has provided the best possible experience to help Aeryn grow in every area of her life. Thank you for providing such a rewarding and enriching experience to Aeryn and our family."

"It is with great emotion we write to inform you that Tuesday, June 30, 2009 will be Isabella and Will’s last day at your Goddard School. They will be heading to The Goddard School (located in) Burlington on Bustleton Road. It is because of the positive experiences we had at your school that we are continuing their education at another Goddard. There Isabella will be enrolled in a full-day Kindergarten program along with Will in his respective classroom. This is their hometown and they will be meeting and interacting with children that they will go to school with for the next 13 years.
This is a difficult transition, more so for us than for Isabella and Will. For over five years we have been sending our children to your school. It is such a routine part of our life that sometimes on weekends when we are in the area we find ourselves heading in that direction to only realize that we missed the exit of our original destination. We often reminisce about the memories that were created at Goddard: the tearful and emotional first drop off Katie had to endure when Isabella was just nine-weeks-old, the elation of picking her up from the first day of school, the support of the Finch room teachers having to deal with new parents who did not have a clue, a gift from a departing teacher of a little blue stuffed animal named Douglas ( that meant so much to Isabella that she still cherishes and sleeps with it every night), the confidence we had in the teachers and school when Will was dropped off for the first time, chicken nugget and pizza days, Family Fun Nights, the field trips, the endless supply of pretzels and patience, and knowing that when drop off occurred, everything was going to be all right.
Isabella and Will are fully prepared for the next step because of your staff. All of you have been nothing short amazing to us and our children. The teachers will be a part of our memories for a lifetime. As Isabella and Will grow older we will remind them both of how much the teachers impacted each of their lives through positive encouragement, support, patience, humor teachings and love. Isabella and Will have thrived from the experiences and knowledge they have gained socially, emotionally and intellectually. Our little girl and little boy are always so happy to be going to your school everyday. They are truly excited to see their friends and teachers. It is a joy for us to read daily sheets and to listen to Isabella and Will tell us about their busy day.
We wish you and your staff the best in health and happiness. We will continue to recommend The Goddard School (located on Kuser Road in) Hamilton to our friends and family."

"A hundred years from now it will not matter what my bank account was, the sort house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove... but the world maybe different because I was important in the life of a child."
