My name is John Minar and I am the Owner of the Goddard School in Delran, New Jersey. I currently live in Allentown, New Jersey with my wife, Veronica, and my two children, Jane and Catharine. Jane and Catharine were both Goddard Children. Jane started when she was 12 months old and Catharine started when she was 5 months old. Both of my children loved The Goddard School in Hamilton (Robbinsville) and they still talk about their experiences today. I graduated from Rider University with a B.S. Degree in Business Administration. I have worked for Merrill Lynch and Prudential Securities and while I enjoyed my time at these companies, I always wanted to run my own business. So, based on the positive experience my wife and I had at the Goddard School with our children, my wife suggested that I run my own Goddard School. With the encouragement from my family and the owner of the Hamilton (Robbinsville) Goddard School I decided to open a School. My experience over the years has been great. The families I have met have been awesome and I’m always looking forward to working with my current and new families and all of the teachers in this school to make it the very best childcare center in the area for your child to learn and have fun.
