My 2 year old granddaughter is an energetic, curious child and the program at Goddard seems to fill her need for movement and learning. The facility is attractive and clean, and the staff is warm and cheerful. I’m glad she is at Goddard.

Very caring

It’s a great environment that make my daughter thrives . All the staff is engaged and the teachers are really great in what they do. Love the cleanliness and organization of the place, the communication and the special features and events they proposed for the kids and family too.

The teachers at Goddard and the curriculum were excellent. They have done so much for Noah and helped him grow and thrive in these past 2 years. We will miss coming to Goddard.

Great school, clean, and staff that cares. Our 3 year old was nervous at first and quickly adjusted. They also do a lot of fun weekly events for kids during the camp season. I’d recommend!

Highly recommend because of the following:
1. Student to Teacher Ratios are maintained as promised at Goddard (versus other day cares/schools that do not actually follow this).
2. Education level is at par or better than other schools in the area - children really learn something good and we have witnessed their progress month by month.
3. Cleanliness - Goddard school has mandated hand washing as soon as children enter the classroom. Everything is maintained in a clean and organized way to limit the spread of sickness.
4. Management at Goddard Skillman - the owner Mr. Sanjay is very involved, engaged, present on site and takes meaningful steps to improve management at school.
5. Teachers - the teachers recruited are well educated, experienced, gentle and caring. Children connect with teachers so easily and love them. That shows quite a bit as children...

Excellent summer camp activities, field trips, and work fun community visitors. Experienced, qualified teachers in toddlers and up and especially in preK. Rigorous and super fun curriculum during school year. Great preparation for kindergarten. Friendly staff all around :) thank you Goddard!

All teachers we met are caring and really patient and the design of activities especially for summer camp is inspiring.

We’ve had a wonderful experience with The Goddard School. The staff are incredibly warm, attentive, and truly care about each child’s development and well-being. Communication is consistent, and we always feel informed and supported. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing she’s in such capable and caring hands.

We have two children at the Goddard Skillman location and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. The teachers and staff are incredible, attending to the unique needs of each of our children. The curriculum is fantastic and the culture their truly makes them feel like family. We are constantly recommending the school to our friends in the area.

We have two children at Goddard and absolutely love it. From the admin to the teachers, it is full of wonderful people who know the unique needs of both of our kids. Would recommend highly to anyone!

We couldn’t be happier with our experience at The Goddard School in Skillman! From the moment our son started attending, we’ve seen tremendous growth in his confidence, social skills, and love for learning. The teachers and staff are nurturing, professional, and truly dedicated to each child’s development.

The curriculum is thoughtfully designed, blending play-based learning with strong academic foundations. Every day, our son comes home excited to share what he’s learned — from science experiments to storytime adventures. The communication from the school is also outstanding, keeping us informed and involved every step of the way.

We’re so grateful for the warm, safe, and enriching environment Goddard Skillman provides. It has been the perfect first step in our son’s educational journey!

Great school - clean, organized and academic oriented. Sanjay, Heather, Jacky, Swetha are great and make the management and front office very welcoming and are always available for our questions.

Our kid loved the teachers - Isabella and others. They are very energetic and caring!

Great place for my two year old with a caring staff! I would like to shout out loud for Ms. Shweta, Miss Marianne and Ms. Isabella for the exceptional care and attention that our child gets! My child is happy and always learning things. They are amazing with her care and she looks forward to going here every morning. I am very happy to have found the best place for my daughters early years of learning and development!

We love our Goddard! The kids are engaged, learning, and attached to the teachers.

Love and only use google.

Wonderful staff and amazing mentorship for the children!!

Excellent school. Highly recommended.

I love Goddard because they are very professional and good to the children

As a first time mom, I was a bit nervous about this school at first when my son initially started the school and i intentionally took my time in providing any feedback. I wanted to spend time evaluating the process, relationship with staff and value my son is getting from the school . I love the diversity of both staff and students, it truly does look like the United Nations in the school. Diversity and education are one of its strengths, I have also been happy to see that there is genuine care , concern plus support given to my son thus far.
I have been very pleased with the following staff such as
A) Ms Sabreenah: She was very very very encouraging and supportive to my son and I when we initially started the school. She was very attentive to my son and reassured me that this school was a good fit for my son . She saw and accepted my son as he is which was important as my...

We had a wonderful experience at the Goddard in Skillman and only left due the kids aging out and graduating. Between my 2 kids, they experienced multiple classrooms and we found each teacher to be patient, kind and engaging. Both my kids LOVED Ms. Z in the PreK B class—her teaching style, ability to draw out each child’s strengths and work on their deficiencies was truly phenomenal. She made the school day fun, interesting and educational. We will truly miss her. We also loved how warm and dedicated the other teachers we worked with —Ms. Poornima, Ms. Joshi and Ms. Hatice. Administration was also extremely easy to work with—Mr. Sanjay, Ms. Heather, Ms. Sweta and Ms. Rachel were very responsive to questions and focused on adapting the structure and day to day activities to ensure a safe and conducive environment. Their summer camp was also very well received by my kids—they had a...

We are incredibly grateful for Ms. Z, who has been an outstanding teacher for our five-year-old daughter at the Goddard School. From the very beginning, Ms. Z has shown exceptional dedication, kindness, and professionalism. Her ability to connect with the children and make each day a new adventure in learning is truly remarkable.

Ms. Z creates a nurturing and stimulating environment where our daughter feels safe and excited to explore new things. Her creative teaching methods and engaging activities have significantly contributed to our child's development, both academically and socially. It’s clear that she puts a lot of thought into her lessons, making them both educational and fun.

Communication with parents is also excellent. Ms. Z keeps us well-informed about our daughter's progress and any upcoming events or activities. She is always approachable and...

Wonderful owner and teachers. Special shout out to Ms.Isabela and Ms.Karen. Both my kids loved going to Goddard Skillman and miss the place.

Such a kind and caring place! The teachers are fantastic- dedicated, fun and caring. The children all get along so well. The center puts on a lot of family functions that make the center feel like a community. My daughter has really flourished there!
