Welcome to Our School

The Goddard School of Jersey City (The Waterfront) is a warm and nurturing space where extraordinary awaits your child each and every day.

At The Goddard School, we offer a Reggio-Emilia inspired, trilingual curriculum where children ages 0-5 learn in an immersive environment with English, Spanish, and Mandarin. Our programs foster creativity, communication, and curiosity in a safe, nurturing space. We’re open 12 months a year, from 7 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., and all enrichments—including organic snacks—are included in tuition. With two outdoor playgrounds and a focus on lifelong learning, we’re here to help your child thrive.

LEARNING YOUR CHILD LOVES

We work tirelessly to ensure children thrive in a healthy, safe and warm environment. Within this secure and nurturing environment, children can discover their unique gifts.

Our programs go beyond academics and help children develop important social-emotional skills like kindness, empathy, responsible decision making and more.  

In our classrooms, creativity and curiosity blossom as children discover the wonder of learning. Through fun learning experiences (F.L.EX.®), your child will develop academic and social-emotional skills that will help them feel ready to take on the world.
