The Goddard School

We love the Goddard school! Our son has been here for a little over a year and lives going to school everyday. The staff is always attentive, kind, and engaging. He's learned so much in the year he’s been there. Shout out to all the teachers and their infinite kindness. Read more >

Amazing school and dedicated long term teachers. Great clean, supportive learning environtment. Everything runs smoothly from an administrative standpoint. Two of my kids attended there and we had experience from the young toddler class up to kindergartens. Never had an issue. We couldn’t be happier! Read more >

Our family has been so pleased with child care provided at Goddard Florham Park. My older one graduated from Goddard Pre-K, where Ms. Vanessa was phenomenal in getting him ready for Kindergarten. Now, my younger one is enjoying his time there and making new friends! There is convenience of ordering lunch through catered services, which has saved me countless hours. We definitely recommend The Goddard School of Florham Park! Read more >

Very happy with Goddard for my two little ones - toddler and baby. We started during Covid and the safety protocols were great! My kids love their teachers and we’ve found a little community within the school for outside of school which has been great for us. Read more >

Goddard is well run by people who actually care about your kids and I appreciate them and all the veteran teachers who know every kid and make children and their parents all feel like family. Keep up the great work team! Read more >

We’ve been very pleased since moving our daughter from a small local daycare to the Florham Park Goddard. It’s not only much closer to home, but the structure and curriculum are already demonstrating their value just a couple of months into the new school year. The only thing we wish was included in the tuition is a daily lunch. Read more >

Wonderful school and people, could not be happier with the care they provide for my children Read more >

We have been with Goddard Florham park for the past 1 year and have loved itz Miss Laurie is a wonderful director/educator and you can tell she prioritizes building an age appropriate curriculum that still fosters creativity among young children. The whole team is receptive to feedback big and small without being too rigid. A most important the teachers truly care about the kids there. Special shout out to Miss Sam and Miss Fiorella who are the best! Read more >

During our past 8 years at Goddard, our children received consistent, quality care in a kind and nurturing environment. We had great experiences with all of the teachers, who were truly amazing, patient, and loving, from the infant room through pre-K. Both of our children developed a love for school and were well prepared for kindergarten. The kids loved the many enrichment activities and family events (music class, zoo visits, water days, family fall festival, Mother's/Father's/Grandparent's Day celebrations to name a few). We left the school recently when our youngest started kindergarten, and both of our kids have already asked if they can go back to visit! Read more >

Both our kids went to Goddard for 3 years and they thrived in the Goddard community. The school was responsive and flexible, the teachers cared deeply about each kid, and they were challenged in different ways while having a lot of fun. Read more >

The Goddard school has been amazing for my family. My two year old started at a different daycare, but it never felt “right.” Within a few days of transitioning to Goddard I knew we had made the right move. The admissions process was quite smooth. The teachers have been fantastic not only for my children (when our second came along there was no question she was also going to Goddard when the time came) but also give me confidence that if I can’t be with them during the day, they are with people who genuinely care them.

Highly recommend Goddard Florham Pk. Our 2yo gets excellent care and curriculum here - the teachers Ms Sam, Ms Olivia and Ms Doris do an amazing job keeping him happy and engaged. He was home for a year and a half before transitioning to daycare and the school and the staff have helped him transition seamlessly. In addition, the location is fantastic and the classrooms are clean and hygienic at all times. Read more >

Our daughter started going to The Goddard School at Florham Park at age 2 and was there for three and half years. The teachers and staff are very caring. Her first teacher Ms. Sam made her feel safe and secure and helped her adjust to daycare. As she progressed through the classes, teachers in every class, were very caring and she enjoyed her time. The school is very neat and clean. They have a good preschool curriculum and try to expose the children to art/craft, sports, chess, music. Kiddie soccer has programs in the school which is convenient. And last but not least, they had an amazing graduation program. Their teacher Ms. Vanessa did a great job with the kids, and it was a really memorable day. We are very thankful to the teachers and staff for taking care of our daughter so well. Read more >

Our daughter had an amazing experience at the Goddard School. Ms. Sam took tremendous care of our child and we always felt safe and confident dropping her off each morning. Ms. Sam is excellent with teaching kids important verbal skills and counting numbers. She is also extremely fun and made our daughter look forward to going each morning. They had a lot of fun listening to music and dancing, and arts and crafts time. The very best part has to be Ms. Sam’s ability to potty train, which is obviously a very important part of early childhood development. Nothing but the best things to say about this school and this teacher especially. Read more >

The Goddard school has been nothing short of amazing for my family. My 2 year old started there and was so well taken care of! They were very supportive through the transition and made her feel so comfortable that she loved going to school everyday. Being a working mom, they gave me the confidence that my daughter is well taken care of. The admissions process was well organized and they are really good at sharing pictures and updates. Their outdoor area is really cute and well maintained for younger kids and my daughter loved it. They also organized events for mothers day, fathers day, grandparents day , Halloween etc. which were my kids favorites. Thanks Goddard, for a great experience. Highly recommend! Read more >

We love Goddard! We transitioned our toddler to Ms. Sam’s class and couldn’t be happier. My daughter’s vocab and dramatically increased and the photos and updates I get make me feel that my daughter is in a safe and happy environment. The culture at Goddard Florham park is welcoming and homey and I would recommend to my family and friends. Read more >

The Goddard school is like family to us! They welcome everyone with a smile and know everyone's names! They really give me peace of mind when I drop off my kids. My daughter went there for 3 1/2 years and once we found out we we're expecting another we knew right were we would send him! He has been there now for 18mo, and he loves it! We certainly love getting the updates and pictures of all the learning and fun activities they do! I would recommend Goddard to anyone! Read more >

My two daughters are current students at Goddard School. My older daughter started at age 2 and has been there for 3 years, and my younger daughter has been at Goddard for 1.5 years. I can’t say enough good things about the school. The teachers are incredible— warm and loving. It puts my mind at ease knowing my children are with them during the day. Excellent level of education— not only do the children learn their academics, but there is a lot of emphasis placed on social etiquette, kindness, and empathy. My daughter will unfortunately be leaving Goddard to start kindergarten in the fall. She is ready for it both academically and emotionally, thanks to everything Goddard has taught her! Read more >

Fantastic school experience. Great infrastructure and service level!! I recommend without a doubt!! That is the place I feel safe and confident about my children education!! Read more >

Very good school. Nice and caring teachers for my infant. Hours are friendly for working parents. Lots of children development activities. Daily reports are done very well. Read more >

We have had a very positive experience at Goddard. My son is new to the school, and the teachers and staff have been very friendly and compassionate and helped him transition to a new environment. I love receiving so many pictures through the day, and he is always playing happily when we arrive to pick him up. We’re so glad we chose Goddard! Read more >

The Goddard School of Florham Park has been an important part of the development of my children. The skills they have been taught exceed those expected for their age range. From the owner to the director to the teaching staff everyone is so caring and can be considered extended family members. Our children will be thoroughly prepared to attend a district school when the time arrives. We know we will always be able to rely on the staff of Goddard of Florham Park. Read more >

My son attended Goddard School for a year and 4 months. He’s now thriving in first grade thanks to his KG teacher, Ms. Kim, who prepared him perfectly both academically and socially.

My son is a bright boy, but also stubborn and easily gets distracted (as many boys are, I believe). Also, it was sometimes difficult for him to express his feelings and situations as English was not his native language. Ms. Kim was so patient and caring in building trust and educating him. Thanks to the school, his language and social skills improved a lot. When we flew on vacation last summer, the flight attendants were impressed when he politely asked, “May I have orange juice, please?”

The classrooms here are safe and clean, and all the staff and management are attentive and reliable. The school provides a lot of fun events and activities such as Holi, petting zoo, quail eggs... Read more >

We highly recommend the Goddard. Both of our children have had the amazing opportunity to be nutured, loved and cared for by such amazing teachers. We have established life-long friendships there and wouldn't trust anyone else with our kids. Read more >

We highly recommend the Goddard School at Florham Park for its educational program and social integration. As a new family moving to the area with our then 4 year old son, we were eager to have him get started in a program that was welcoming, supportive and reliable. The Goddard at Florham Park delivered on all levels. The teachers and management welcomed my son with open arms, gave him the reading and math skills needed for him to move on to Kindergarten and helped him to make new friends. We were pleasantly surprised by the number of development related activities the school promotes, including outdoor and indoor gardening and caring for young animals. There were a number of parent and child events at the school as well that fostered a sense of community. A special thanks to my son’s teacher, Ms. Kim for her dedication to her students and to our son. We will miss the Goddard at... Read more >

Our twins thrived at the Goddard school in Florham Park. They loved all of their teachers and learned a lot in the two years they were there (3-5 yrs old). From the owners to the staff, everyone is pleasant and helpful. They create a safe and fun environment for kids, with lots of creative activities, and we especially liked the STEAM emphasis. The place is very well-run. Would highly recommend! Read more >

Our twins have been at the Goddard school for 2-1/2 years. It was the best thing we could do to have them at this school. The director is professional and the workers very kind. The best are the teachers: our kids moved from one class to the next and have always been excited and motivated to start their day at this school because of the love and care they received there. Also if there is a small issue with a school friend, the teachers and staff is immediately looking to solve any problem and you feel they really take care of the kids. The program is great and every day full of different activities from early morning until late afternoon. We recommend this school and will miss it when our kids will go to elementary school this year! Read more >

We absolutely love the Goddard school of Florham park! My son started a month ago and has been learning so much already, I am so impressed. He also had a speech delay and went to speech therapy for a year which helped him some but with being in school 5 days a week now he has broadened his vocabulary and is speaking more understandably. I am so happy we decided to go with the Goddard at Florham park, because the staff is very knowledgeable, amazing, kind, and so loving with my son, and all children for that matter. Read more >

My son has been attending the Goddard School Florham Park since he was 7 months old. He is now 4.5 years old and some evenings has to be begged to leave the fun he is having in the classroom. The curriculum and schedule have offered him structure that he otherwise would not have. He’s had teachers that have changed his life, and who have helped me as a parent cope with the stress of raising a happy, healthy, well rounded child. He has had the benefit of growing up with a number of children that started as infants around the same time; the low turnover speaks to the comfort the school brings to other families as well. I would recommend the Goddard School Florham Park to families looking for structured reliable childcare. Read more >
