Newark Reviews & Recognition

The love and commitment of our Goddard families inspires us every day. To help make each child’s learning experiences the best they can be, we are always happy to listen when parents share their expectations. Here’s what our families have to say.

  • The Goddard School has been such a welcoming and nurturing environment for our son! The involvement and communication from everyone from the owners to the directors to the teachers has been wonderful.

  • The best!!! The staff feels like family, communication is wonderful, and they are always organized and willing to help in any way. The place is clean, everyone seems to have a sense of humor (necessary in dealing with these babies!), and the best part is that our baby girl LOVES going there everyday and learns so much!!! We know she is taken care of wonderfully and it's a blessing to not worry AT ALL about her throughout the day. Thank you!! :)

  • My daughter (2 yrs) has been demonstrably happier since she switched to the Goddard School. She is learning so much so quickly, and has already made lots of friends in the short time she has been there. Everyone that works there is extremely friendly and accommodating, and I am able to follow her daily progress via updates and photos through the app they use. I hope she will be able to attend for many years.

    Charles & Cole's Mother

    Goddard Graduate

  • We feel like Goddard uses a very advanced curriculum that we absolutely love. It's so rewarding to have our child come home speaking of all the topics he learned that held his interest so well. I also enjoy the daily reports that are sent home each day. They give us as parents a full synopsis of what our child did so that we can review the day with him at night. The wide range of topics and things our son has learned this past year at Goddard makes me wish I had found this school sooner!
