Goddard School Lyndhurst

I wholeheartedly rate Goddard School a perfect 10 out of 10 for the exceptional care provided to my child, Shridhar, in Pre-K 4. Over the past two years, the school has consistently demonstrated a commitment to nurturing young minds in a safe and supportive environment. The staff's kindness, dedication, and professionalism have been outstanding. The management's child-centric approach is evident in every aspect of the school's operations, ensuring a holistic learning experience. I highly recommend Goddard School to parents seeking a top-notch educational institution for their children.

We’ve had such a wonderful experience at The Goddard Schoo-Lyndhurst. The staff is warm, professional, and genuinely cares about each child’s growth and happiness. From the very beginning, the teachers made us feel comfortable and welcomed, and it’s clear they put a lot of thought into creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment.

We truly appreciate the safe, structured, and nurturing environment Goddard-Lyndhurst provided and would highly recommend it to any family.

The Goddard School of Lyndhurst is truly a fantastic school for early childhood development. From the ownership of Harsh and Mona to the teachers, curriculum and support staff. The entire experience is one that I will cherish as they had a positive and profound impact on my daughter’s early childhood development. As far as learning goes, my child is intellectually and developmentalIy ahead of the pack heading into kindergarten. I do not know how other Goddard Schools operate, what I do know, is that the Lyndhurst location is operates like a family, one of which I was proud to be part of and my daughter was lucky enough to experience. Thank you all for everything.

Today was my kid's first day and couldn't have been better. The facility is so secure, you'd think they were hiding bitcoin in there. And it's also exceptionally clean. The best part is definitely the staff. I work in a pediatric dental office and I'd easily believe each of them could have been my colleagues. They all are pure smiles, clearly love to be there, and are very active with the children. They send pictures throughout the day and have some of the most creative activities to keep the gets on their feet instead of in front of a screen. They document everytbing the child ate, when they went to the restroom and even with each teacher responsible for a little more than 10 children, they can give you a detailed rundown of how your kid did. I'm HIGHLY impressed!

We are so grateful for the teachers and staff at Goddard School of Lyndhurst. Their patience, care, and dedication to my daughter have meant so much to our family. I especially appreciate that the directors are always present, ready to listen, and quick to address any concerns without ever disregarding them. My daughter has grown so much and is always excited to read because the school enforces reading and learned versus just playing. It has been a wonderful experience, and we’re truly thankful for all the love and support they’ve given our daughter

Thanks to the hallmarks of their success— commitment to excellence & the highest standards of care— that now currently 3 of my 4 children attend this school. (And we can’t wait ‘til the day when we enroll my nearly 1y/o)…

We are especially so proud of how far our son has come and glad that his journey with the Goddard school has helped him very much along the way. He's not only able to express himself verbally but artistically, through movement and remarkably in written words— spelling any word he wishes and even reading books by sounding it out. For me, just encouraging him to simply be a content and comfortable person in his own skin is so important. We are put at ease to know that he has felt so at home to be able to take his shoes off as he loves to do when he's at home or in the home of a relative.

We're indebted to the owners, Harsh & Mona, for...

We couldn’t be happier with our experience at The Goddard School in Lyndhurst. Harsh and Mona are truly visionary leaders — the level of care, structure, and thought they’ve put into every detail of the school is simply exemplary. From the curriculum to the daily routines, everything is so well-organized, enriching, and child-centered.

Our daughter Aanya absolutely thrives here, and as parents, there’s nothing more reassuring than knowing she’s in such a loving, safe, and inspiring environment. The entire team sets the bar high in early childhood education, and we’re incredibly grateful to be part of this amazing community. Thank you for creating such a special place!

Excellent service,teachers and education.my kids never get sick from day care ,they learned Everything from there .Highly recommend for this day care for all parents.

I am sincerely happy to have found The Goddard school, they have a wonderful curriculum. My child transitioned very well from his past school to the Goddard since our move. Teachers are very warm welcoming. Thank you to all staff and teachers.

I wish there were more stars to give! Before our son was born, we did what all parents do, visit all of the surrounding daycares. The Goddard School was actually our first visit, and we did complete the schools visits. But we knew as soon as we walked out that The Goddard School was our choice. Everything that they offer is just leaps and bounds above any other school in this area. On Jackson’s first day, we immediately saw how incredible Jackson’s teachers were. Every morning he has big smiles at drop off, especially seeing Miss Toni and Miss Dayanara! And at pickup he is always smiling and happy. His skills have improved greatly in just a few weeks! And the directors, and owner's(Harsh and Mona) are the cherry on top! We can’t recommend the Goddard School enough!

My son is enrolled in prek. He loves the school and looks forward to going. The facility is very clean, the faculty is very involved and attentive to each child's needs. The owners are very involved and are quick to address any concerns making you feel very comfortable. I am so impressed by their curriculum. They are working on new letters, phonics, and numbers every week. They are always doing different fun activities all the time. I am so grateful for this school leaving such a positive mark on my son.

I cannot express enough how incredibly grateful I am for The Goddard School of Lyndhurst. From the moment I walked in, I knew I had found something truly special for my daughter. The owners, Harsh and Mona, as well as the entire administrative team, are simply fantastic. They are warm, welcoming, and deeply invested in the well-being of each child. Harsh, in particular, made an immediate and lasting impression on me during our first meeting, and after that, I knew there was no need to look any further—this was the school for my family.

The teachers at Goddard are incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about their work. You can tell they truly care about the children and their development. My daughter loves coming to school every day, and it's been amazing to see how much she’s learned in such a short time. The curriculum is well-thought-out and engaging,...

"I couldn't be happier with my experience at Goddard. From the moment we enrolled, we were welcomed with open arms and treated like family. The staff goes above and beyond to make sure parents feel involved and children are supported. My daughter loves going to school every day, and I have complete peace of mind knowing she’s in such a nurturing environment. Highly recommend this school to any parent looking for a community-focused, caring place for their

Phenomenal school that provides a high level of cleanliness, learning and fun. I have peace of mind knowing my little is in good hands with caring staff and teachers. The owners are wonderful, both dedicated to the school and available anytime needed. They host a wide variety of events and activities for the kids throughout the year. We love being part of the Lyndhurst Goddard family! Thank you Harsh and Mona for all that you do

I always recommend my grandson because we are extremely happy with the care given to him and the progress he has shown in over a year. My grandson can count, is potty trained and is definitely talking more clearly these days. We highly recommend Goddard Lyndhurst school. The staff and owners Mona & Harsh are AMAZING!

This is the first daycare my son enrolled and I feel lucky that we did not go other places. The owner Harsh and Mona are very nice and caring and make us feel family. The directors and teachers there are very responsible.
It is sad that we are moving out of this area in a few months but I would definitely recommend this place to all parents!

Finding a preschool is tough and finding one when transitioning between two houses is even tougher. The Lyndhurst Goddard school was highly recommended by a friend but we weren’t completely convinced… until we took a tour. The school is immaculate and the teachers were attuned to the children in their classroom, something I found to be rare during my tours of other schools. When all is said and done though, you won’t know if the school is right for your child until they themselves experience it. That being said, our son was in the pre-k 4 classroom and he would come home with such a positive attitude at the end of each school day, the number one reason I knew this school was right for him. I also noticed a positive change in skills for his age both socially and academically. I also want to mention that the staff was incredibly professional, friendly and easy to work with, going above...

The Goddard School in Lyndhurst is truly one of a kind! The curriculum, nurturing environment, and creativity to engage our little ones is EXCEPTIONAL! I LOVE the staff and could not imagine this journey without Ms. Michelle. The owners Mona & Harsh are extremely attentive, responsive, and always accessible. We highly recommend the Goddard if you're looking for a welcoming family atmosphere!

Beat school around Rutherford/Lyndhurst area. Nurturing and safe environment for kids with best team one could find. Thanks!

This is everything I could have wanted and expected for my daughter. Leadership / ownership makes all the difference. Truly the cleanest school you have ever seen as well. Could not be more enthusiastic in my recommendation.

In the summer of 2023, I enrolled my child in Goddard Preschool, and I must say that it has been a wonderful experience for both my child and me. Goddard Preschool is a well-established institution known for its commitment to providing high-quality early childhood education, and it certainly lives up to its reputation.
From the moment we stepped into Goddard Preschool, we were greeted by a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff members are friendly, approachable, and genuinely care about the well-being and development of each child. The teachers at Goddard are truly passionate about their work. They created a nurturing and stimulating environment for all the children. I have noticed significant growth in my child's cognitive abilities, language skills, and social interactions since joining Goddard Preschool.
Communication between the preschool and parents is exceptional....

What's not to love about The Goddard School of Lyndhurst?! It would take me all day to thank everyone individually for their incredible contribution to our son's development and well-being so in the interest of time, please accept a blanket, "THANK YOU," to the entire team.

From the moment you swipe in and enter the building, you're greeted by an immaculately clean building and friendly smiles. Our son genuinely enjoys walking in on his own, waving to Harsh, Mona, and Sam, then all of his previous teachers until he gets to his latest classroom. Once inside, he almost always wants out of his jacket as quickly as possible so he can join the group and his amazing teachers. He's always welcomed with open arms and we can feel the love and dedication from the entire team.

That positive experience is complimented perfectly by the education (yes, I said...

I can’t say enough positive things about The Goddard School in Lyndhurst. I’m beyond impressed by the owners and director Sam, they really love the kids. I enrolled my daughter at 16 months and she blossomed into a vibrant toddler and I can’t thank the Goddard School enough for showing love, support, and the welcome feeling everyday. Ms Isabella is a great teacher. She’s so kind and patient with the kids. My daughter runs up to her everyday and it’s such a comforting feeling as a mom to leave your child with such an amazing teacher. Thank you Goddard School for such a positive impact on my two year olds life and mine as well.

My child and myself absolutely adore this school. Since being enrolled in their 1 year program November of last year, he has excelled tremendously. He absolutely adores his teachers who are so caring and attentive to his needs as well as mine as a mother. They never keep me in the dark and I am so appreciative how tender they are with my baby. Along with the exceptional security, all of the staff are great at communicating with me as a parent which allows me to feel safe and comfortable leaving my child in their care. The establishment is clean and you can always be sure of live updates on your child throughout the day. I am confident that my child is getting the attention and care he needs at this facility!

We couldn’t be happier that we found The Goddard School in Lyndhurst for our daughter. The building is newly renovated and cleanliness is a top priority there. The owners and the director of the school are always there and are super welcoming, knowledgeable and empathetic towards the parents and their little ones. Our daughter always has a smile on her face coming here in the morning and seeing her development in just three months is incredible, thanks to all the amazing educational activities the staff plans out for them on a daily basis. Miss Linda and Safiyah are such caring teachers, we know that our daughter is happy and in good hands with them. Going back to work and leaving our child in daycare was not easy but the whole team is very empathetic and understanding which was so helpful in the first few weeks. They post pictures throughout the day and are always available on the...

Enrolling our baby (18 months now) to Goddard has proven to be a wonderful decision. The welcoming atmosphere, caring teachers, and thoughtfully FUN learning methodology make it an exceptional choice for early childhood education.

The teachers (Miss Linda, Miss Zafyia) at Goddard are very dedicated, creating a nurturing environment that encourages exploration and growth.
Their professionalism and passion are evident in every interaction, fostering a sense of security for us.

The facilities are clean and secure, providing a safe space for our baby to play and learn. Communication with parents is excellent, with regular updates and feedback through an app ensuring peace of mind to new parents like us.

Thank you Harsh and Mona!

The Goddard School in Lyndhurst is an exceptional learning environment for my daughter. The owners Harsh and Mona are very accommodating and friendly. The Director Samantha, is always smiling and attentive to everyone’s issues. There are always new activities and events going on at the school to keep my kid engaged and excited to attend. My daughter loves her teachers Ms. Michelle and Ms. Maryiam. They are super friendly and compassionate even though they have to deal with my daughter who is a handful.

The teachers are amazing and the school is extremely clean. Their play base learning curriculum offers an outlet for creativity and my daughter has been thriving.
