Where They Start Matters

At The Goddard School of Parsippany, we believe that the start of your child's journey matters. At The Goddard School of Parsippany, we are more than a daycare—we’re a year-round early childhood education center for infants through Pre-K. Our Reggio Emilia-inspired Wonder of Learning curriculum and Life Lesson Library support every aspect of a child’s growth—academic, social, and emotional. Children engage in English and Spanish, hands-on learning, and enjoy organic meals. In our secure, state-of-the-art, home-like environment, every moment is a chance to grow, learn, and thrive.

Your Child’s Education

Children are extraordinary little scientists who have lots of questions about everything. Our proprietary education program, Wonder of Learning®, harnesses children’s innate curiosity and encourages them to explore the world around them as they learn through play.

The Goddard Difference

Goddard is more than just a preschool. With a proven track record of academic and social excellence, we've earned the trust of countless happy families who have seen their children exceed expectations and step into the world with confidence and compassion.

Curriculum

Our education program, Wonder of Learning®, is the most innovative and well-researched on the market. It was created by early childhood development experts to empower children to explore their natural curiosity.

Leading with Curiosity

Our Wonder of Learning™ curriculum sparks curiosity through inquiry-based, hands-on play that builds confident, creative young learners.
