My children have been at Goddard Millburn since it first opened and the experience has been amazing. From the office staff and leadership to the teachers, everyone is very caring of the children and the communication is very clear. Adding to this is the curriculum of the languages, cultures, and math that is taught pre-K that really helps prepare the children for when they enter Kindergarten. I would recommend this school to other families!
I wholeheartedly recommend this school to any parent looking for a nurturing educational environment. My three children have had an enriching and transformative experience here. The dedicated and caring teachers have played a pivotal role in their growth, and the assistants have consistently gone above and beyond to support every parent in the school community.
Both of my boys attended the Goddard School, with my second one about to graduate this summer. Having gone through the process almost twice now, I have witnessed how transformational Goddard was to my boys’ growth — with my older boy now enjoying his elementary school life at ease. It’s truly great to see Goddard expanding to more locations now, so that more pre-school kids can enjoy the level of education they provide!
Very friendly and responsible staff. Every teach knows every kid's name which is awesome, makes my daughter feel safe and loved.
I would recommend for its dynamic learning environment and exceptionally friendly and cooperative staff, who always provide prompt responses and timely updates. Most importantly, my child adores attending every day, a testament to the school's engaging atmosphere and effective teaching methods.
One of the best run, family first/friendly facilities in the state, if not the country. The staff has become like family, can't recco Goddard enough.
Very happy with the way the school is run. The management is amazing and have a good grip on day to day. A few teachers could do better and often see misses here and there but overall the school is very well run thanks to the management.
My kids have grown so much during their time at Goddard Millburn. At the same time, they enjoy going to the school every morning and love talking about their teachers and friends at home. The teachers are very patient and caring. They also provide timely communications and are very considerate.
