The Goddard School of Long Hill Township, NJ

My son has attended the Goddard School for 2 years now. He loves going to school each day. It gives him an outlet to learn and socialize during the pandemic. Each day I wait anxiously to receive the teacher’s memo highlighting the activities of the day and pictures. What would make the report even better is if it was a little more personalized to each child’s progression. Also, It would be nice to have advanced notice of calendarized events for the month prior to the month beginning. I love that the class is completely child-centered. The children, upon receiving a warm greeting at the door, independently navigate through learning centers thoughtfully created to help strengthen fine motor skills, encourage logical thinking, creativity, problem solving, and working together. It is evident that the developmental needs and abilities of young children are considered at every turn....

Our daughter who started Kindergarten this year has been really enjoying all the different creative learning. We love the variety of ways in which she learns about art, feelings, math, yoga, Spanish, sign language, writing, music, crafts and so much more! We are very happy that we enrolled her at Goddard!

After moving to the area, I began my search of Preschools for my 2 1/2 year old son and it became quite clear, quickly that The Goddard School in Long Hill was the right one. Besides it’s stellar academic reputation, the owners Sumara and Imran are extremely involved and helpful in creating the perfect schedule and fit for your family. They not only value keeping the facility flawless during these tough Covid times, but are on site each day to ensure all protocols are followed by both parents and staff. Additionally, the Director, Ms.Donna, is at the front door each day with a huge smile on her face, greeting each child by name and with love like they are all her own. His teachers, Ms. Elizabeth and Ms. Alma, have been so superb in helping my son transition to his 4th school environment after finally moving back to NJ, and have worked to ensure a smooth transition to not only a new...

I highly recommend the Goddard School. My 4 year old was in another daycare for a day and a half because she said it was boring and long. We changed schools immediately and became a Goddard believer!!! The Goddard has a wonder staff and a solid curriculum!! I am impressed every day!

My husband and I have toured many daycares in the area prior to choosing Goddard and this school is by far the best in area. None of the ones we saw come close to providing the level of care and schooling Goddard does. The owners are always there putting their heart into everything they do and they really care about every single child at their school. The teachers and director are amazing. They take the time to put together lesson plans and ensure they are appropriate for each age group. They also work with the children at their own pace, making sure they succeed.

At first my husband and I were apprehensive to send our child back to school during the pandemic, but Goddard really made us feel so comfortable to put her back in school. They go above and beyond the health and safety requirements. They have a sanitization machine, outside hand washing station, hospital grade...

“Highly recommended”
We decided to enroll our son with Goddard school last year after doing a lot of research and was the best decision we made. Our son has been attending Goddard since their opening last year. The owners Sumará and Imran were not only great, attentive and accommodating but have HIGH standards. You can see this from the curriculum they offer, the school hygiene but most importantly with their teachers and staff. Can’t say enough great things about his teachers Ms Rita, Ms Mary and Ms Donna the school director.
Our son has grown leaps and bounds and all due to the dedication from his teachers in making sure he is well prepared for Kindergarten this coming fall. Through out the pandemic, Goddard has taken all precautions and quickly pivoted to help families with virtual class options. They worked hard in making sure our kids continued with activities...

Goddard of Long Hill is a wonderful place! Since the time that our son started there, we have always been reassured that he is getting an excellent education and at the same time we are comforted that he is safe and secure. The school itself is new, beautiful and bright!!! Not only are the teachers wonderful at what they do...they are also happy and it shows. The owners Sumara and Imran are truly invested and they care, down to every detail. The director Donna is amazingly kind and so approachable. Recently, the school came through for our family in our time of need during the pandemic, and we were continually impressed by their cleanliness, sanitation, and thoughtfulness. I highly recommend this school!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about this school. From the second you walk in you can see and feel that this is not your ordinary preschool. The staff is amazing! From the owners to the teachers- everyone is extremely kind, caring, and nurturing to both the children and adults alike. The teachers are all so incredibly talented and passionate about shaping the young minds around them. The children are encouraged daily to try new things and always ask questions. I feel so lucky that my daughter got to be part of this Goddard family! She has learned and grown so much and is beyond ready for kindergarten next year. Everyone at this school goes above and beyond- always operating at 200% and nothing less. You will not regret choosing Goddard Long Hill for your children. But I warn you- you will be very sad to leave!

The Goddard School in LongHill NJ is a safe, clean and educational facility for children. They also have been exceptional during these unprecedented times. They responded immediately to the Quarantine situation by offering virtual classes with a daily itinerary of activities. The instructors do a fantastic job engaging the children. This setup/structure has helped our son flourish/progress. We also enjoy watching him participate in the class sessions.

The owners of this facility are hands on and have the best intentions for the development of all the children that participate in their programs. They are knowledgeable, resourceful and attentive to our needs. We truly feel like they are an extension of our family.
