Millburn (Short Hills) 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.

  • 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.

    Goddard Graduate

  • 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!

  • Literally could not be happier. We were very nervous for our 3 month old to start daycare and had a lot of specific (aka annoying) instructions. Ms Louisa truly could not be better at listening to our needs and following them. You can just tell that the baby loves daycare and better yet, continues to be a joy at home still sleeping through the night

He is surrounded by loving faces that greet him each morning and then he’s exposed to a worldly curriculum each day. I love that he learns about different cultures through art, music and reading. This inclusive, progressive environment has made our son thrive even amidst this global pandemic.

The teachers and staff are friendly, kind and smart, and that gave me the assurance I needed to leave my daughter in their care. It’s seems she is learning a lot everyday and the exposure to Spanish and Mandarin are a huge bonus. I also appreciate the detailed updates through the tadpole app. The communication from staff is helpful.
