Pre-K Classroom

Ms Tricia and her team give our daughter the best experience we could ask for. They develop her, they let her have fun, and they create a classroom environment where she gets to grow with her friends. The team is communicative, and they feel more like a partner than a provider. We are grateful to Miss Tracy and Goddard for the team they have built.

Caroline's Father

Toddler Classroom

Our daughter has been enrolled at the Goddard School since the summer of 2021 and we have had nothing but and incredible experience. The director, teachers and all of the staff are friendly, helpful and always available to talk. Our daughter is learning and growing in ways that we can only thank the staff at the Goddard School for.

We have been to 3 daycares in the area and none of them compare to Goddard. The whole staff has been sooooo incredibly warm from day 1. The pictures of the kids are always great. Seeing them do activities that I could never picture for my 1 year old has just been the best!

Ella & Max's Mother

We love how it feels like a family and every single teacher we have encountered has cared deeply for our children! Ms Tricia has been incredible and her warmth and dedication makes our experience at Goddard so enjoyable.

Brandon & Madeline's Mother

We are so happy and proud to be part of the Goddard family. Since our son's very first day (and even before that!), we have felt the love, care, and support of all of the Goddard teachers and staff. Our son has so much fun learning and playing each day and we cannot be happier with the care Goddard has provided to our boy. Thank you for everything, Goddard!

"Learning for fun. Learning for life" is not just a catch phrase here. My two girls absolutely adore going to school at Goddard! Even when they're home sick, they want to sing songs they've learned, count, and spell. I am sincerely amazed at the academic, social, and emotional lessons my kiddos learn - and retain all while having fun at Goddard.

Rosalind & Millicent's Mother

From the front office, to the classroom and teachers and level of care that is given to our child, we love everything about The Goddard School. I credit The Goddard School for much of my daughters accelerated development in her first year with them.

Goddard Fanwood is amazing - the director and assistant director, Tricia and Michelle, both go above and beyond. We have always felt like our son is in the best hands. They always keep us in the loop about everything, especially given all the changes due to Covid. He is safe and well cared for and we couldn't be happier with everything about the school. His teachers are the best!

Madison's Father

Toddler Classroom

In the last 8 years I've been a parent of a Goddard student and I can count on one hand the number of times my children didn't want to go to school. They walk in every morning with a huge smile on their face and leave with the same smile. My husband and I go to work with the peace of mind that our kids are in a safe, nurturing, fun and educational environment. I couldn't ask for more.

Leah & Alexander Jeremy & Joseph's Mother
