The Goddard School of Toms River is more than a warm and nurturing place. It's more than a great education for your child. It's peace of mind.

Meet Suzanne

Owner

I am one of the onsite owner's of The Goddard School of Toms River 1. I have my Bachelors Degree from Kean University with a double major in Psychology and in Education. I worked eight years for the Division of Youth & Family Protection investigating child abuse and neglect. I have volunteered as a soccer coach for the past 10 years and I also volunteer as a Cub Master for Pack 6 Cub Scout group. Much of my spare time is dedicated to children and our community. I believe the most important thing a teacher can do is look at each child as an individual. I thank you for putting your trust in our school.

We love the Goddard School on Bay Ave. We've been enrolled since 6 months to Pre-K. Warm and caring directors, great teaching staff, clean environment. I will continue to recommend Goddard a thousand times over!!!

Lyanna's Mother

Infant Classroom

The owners of the Bey Lea Goddard go above and beyond to make sure that their students and families are happy and healthy. This is not just a business. This is their way of life. Our child thrives when he gets to go to school here. We are thankful.

Jace's Mother

Kindergarten Classroom

Friendly and professional, my son loves going to school and that makes me feel very comfortable since I haven’t been able to develop a relationship with his teachers do to covid. The fact that he is soo excited to go puts me at ease. He is much more independent and comes up with the funniest things that I know he is learning in his class. The school app is great! Simple easy and to the point as well.
