Meet Bryan Owner
Mr. Bryan was destined to be the owner of a preschool, and he has been the owner/operator of The Goddard School located in Princeton since 2004 when the school opened! His retail and customer service background, combined with a passionate love for children, made it a logical choice. Mr. Bryan has a proven track record of 20+ years successfully running small businesses prior to opening The Goddard School located in Princeton. Add in his experience raising his own two daughters, and it is easy to see why Mr. Bryan's school was named "Rookie School of the Year" in its first year of business, as well as being in Goddard Systems' "Circle of Excellence" almost every year since.
Mr. Bryan resides in Upper Freehold, NJ with his two children and a menagerie of animals. Running The Goddard School located in Princeton is Mr. Bryan's full-time job and he is very proud of his School AND its teachers. Mr. Bryan looks forward to meeting you when you come for a visit!

What Our Goddard Village Is Saying
I feel that the teachers are all very qualified. I was attracted to the school originally because mostly all of the teachers are actually teachers and not "young students" who treat this as an after school job. The fact that I know that all of the teachers really care about educating my children and are qualified to do so is really important to me.
While I think the facility and program are great I really feel that its the outstanding staff that make the school.
Dedicated attention to our child and I truly appreciate the daily summaries that allow us to keep track on their activities.
The variety of the different activities to show the kids that learning is fun.
Tailored curriculum for every age group. Clean, bright, cheerful facilities and staff.
Personal touch Very kind teachers Everyone seems to know my sons name My son is very happy There is good variety in what he does I absolutely love the photos and notes we get everyday
I like that education starts in the infant room with a core base program. From infancy through 5 yrs old, they teach in a playful manner without stress or competitiveness among the students.
