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.
The school is incredibly welcoming, the teachers are extremely skilled, and the environment is filled with rich educational materials. Olivia is loving it, and it’s clear how much she has developed in just one month. I couldn’t be happier with our choice — thank you so much!
The teachers are really loving. The whole team is very supportive. The office will give me a call upon any incidents which made me trust the school very much. The curriculum is well designed and I can tell there’s a whole team behind designing it. I also really love the daily sheet that tells me the schedules for my little one. What’s most helpful is how much veggie/fruit/meat my toddler ate.
We’re very happy with the experience so far!
great attention to the needs and development of the children, great communication with the parents every step of the way, great to watch your child flourish
Early childhood is a time of endless potential — a season where curiosity, discovery and small victories build the foundation for a remarkable future. That’s why where a child begins their journey matters.
Every member of the Goddard faculty has special, often extraordinary, gifts they share with their students. When a child comes home happy and can't wait to see their teacher the next day, tell us about it. Take this moment to celebrate your child's teachers!
