Meet Marc Owner / Operator

I have been the owner of the Goddard School in Swedesboro, NJ since it opened in 2005. With three young children of my own, I understand the importance of Early Childhood Development. All three of my children have gone through the Goddard program. I enjoy working with children and love being able to offer parents a safe, nurturing environment for their children.

My daughter has been attending the school since she was 9 months and I love it. I have gotten babysitters from the school for after school purposes whom were perfect as well. Mark is a pleasure and very approachable about anything. I love the administration staff and I feel very safe at the Goddard and my daughter went to school everyday during COVID-19 and never became sick or had to quarantine…. Thanks Goddard for all you do…Q.Thompson RN., BPH, BSN.
