Meet John Owner

My name is John Minar, and I’m the proud owner of The Goddard School in Delran, New Jersey. I’m also the father of two daughters, Jane and Catharine, who were both Goddard children. Their experiences at The Goddard School were incredibly positive and left a lasting impression on our entire family. I graduated from Rider University and began my professional career at Merrill Lynch and Prudential Securities. While I gained valuable experience in the financial industry, I always dreamed of owning my own business. Inspired by the exceptional care and education our daughters received at Goddard and with the encouragement of my wife I made the decision to open a school of my own. It’s been a rewarding journey. I’m deeply committed to building strong relationships with our families and supporting our talented, passionate team. Together, we strive to make The Goddard School of Delran the premier early childhood center in the area where children can learn, grow, and thrive every single day.
