School Owner
My name is Jim Freda. I am the owner of The Goddard School in Sparta. My wife Marianne and I have a fantastic son named Gavin. I graduated from Kean University with a degree in Management Science. I love children and I am excited about coming here every day. Imagine having a job that everyday you're a "Rock Star". Owning a Goddard School is a dream and a privilege, and I hope you are as happy here as I am.

I recommend this school to others! It's clean and welcoming atmosphere. He's 14 months and he's already doing so many activities and even comes home doing sign language! With the Tadpoles app I can see what he does on a daily basis, which is a huge help for a working mother :)

What Teachers Mean to Me

Every member of the Goddard faculty has special, often extraordinary, gifts they share with their students. When a child comes home happy and can't wait to see their teacher the next day, tell us about it. Take this moment to celebrate your child's teachers!

LEARNING YOUR CHILD LOVES

We work tirelessly to ensure children thrive in a healthy, safe and warm environment. Within this secure and nurturing environment, children can discover their unique gifts.

Our programs go beyond academics and help children develop important social-emotional skills like kindness, empathy, responsible decision making and more.  

In our classrooms, creativity and curiosity blossom as children discover the wonder of learning. Through fun learning experiences (F.L.EX.®), your child will develop academic and social-emotional skills that will help them feel ready to take on the world.
