The Goddard School

Fantastic operation in FP. The teachers are superb-caring, communicative, and available. I would re enroll my kids again, if I could!

Goddard was wonderful from the moment we took the first tour. We had transferred from a different daycare that we were not impressed with, and we felt right at home when we met Mr. Sundeep and Ms Laurie. We were deeply impressed with the genuine care that each employee has for the children, the safety protocols / cleanliness of the daycare and especially the fun extra family events that make Goddard Florham Park so special. She loved going to school each morning. Every teacher knew our daughter's name and said hello even if she wasn't in their classroom. It was great to see their friendly faces year after year - there is not a lot of teacher turnover which I think speaks volumes. Each time we moved up to a different teacher / classroom, we knew that we were in safe and knowledgeable hands and we were extremely saddened to leave after Pre K Graduation. We can only hope that...

The Goddard School in Florham Park is fantastic. My daughter is thriving because of the consistent, structured, and loving environment. Ms. Vanessa and Ms. Eliana facilitate their pre-kindergarten class with creativity, learning through discovery, and sincere care for each child. My daughter feels safe at the Goddard School, has made close friendships, and developed a love of world languages and chess. Her letter recognition, handwriting, math concepts, and site word reading have all advanced this year. She is also learning social concepts like taking turns, sharing, noticing and identifying others’ feelings, and good manners. Whenever she needs a moment to process big feelings, Ms. Laurie or Ms. Kim welcome her into the office and calm her with a visit to the bunnies. She also had a great 3 year old year with Ms. Lauren. Ms. Lauren remains a source of comfort and trust for my...

We absolutely love this daycare!
The teachers are kind, patient, and truly care about the kids.
Our child has learned so much since starting here — not just letters and numbers, but also how to share, be kind, and express feelings.
Every day, we get updates and pictures, which makes us feel very connected.
We feel lucky to have found a place that feels safe, fun, and nurturing.
Highly recommend to any parent looking for a great daycare!

Anakaren thinks you should try The Goddard School

We love the Goddard! Our son loves going to school and has learned sooo much! The Goddard feels like family, from the teachers to the director Angela and owner Sandeep. Any concerns or questions we have get addressed right away with a solution continuing to make us feel comfortable.

Teachers should pay more attention to kids in the classrooms. Especially if parents raise concerns about kids not eating, etc. Overall more personal attention is needed. School should also consider more interactive events for kids to keep them engaged in school over days and months.

The teachers are amazing and truly care about their students!

I am so glad this school is conveniently located near us. The building is not only impressive but also exceptionally clean and well organized, creating a welcoming environment for both students and parents. The staff and administration truly take pride in their work, ensuring that every child receives a well structured and engaging curriculum.
I enrolled my toddler here in January, and the progress he has made has been nothing short of incredible. He loves interacting with his teacher, Ms. Kasey, and it's clear that she genuinely cares about his development. I also appreciate the thoughtful touch of receiving photos at the end of each day, along with a summary of what he did in school. It's so heartwarming to see my son’s smiling face in the classroom alongside his classmates, which reassures me that he truly belongs in this nurturing environment.
Overall, I am extremely...

The Goddard School is a great choice for childcare. Our family has been with the school for over a year, and the experience has been positive. The owner, Sundeep, maintains a beautiful and welcoming environment, while Director Laurie brings warmth and dedication to ensuring the school runs smoothly and the children are well cared for.

The teachers are genuinely caring toward the children, and always have big smiles and give lots of hugs. While some of the assistants are younger, their enthusiasm and energy are perfectly suited to engaging with the little ones.

The unique touch of adorable bunnies greeting you at the entrance is a fan favorite.

The teachers are great and my son really loves going! A nice mix of activities and games to learn and grow.

We love the Goddard School! Both our daughters have thrived there. The staff is warm and nurturing and the curriculum is engaging and is fully preparing our oldest for kindergarten. Highly recommend!

Pamela gave The Goddard School an AWESOME Recommendation

My daughter is hitting her developmental milestones with the support of the staff at Goddard!

Staff are extremely caring and attentive to the kids. Have taught many valuable lessons and our kids have had a very positive experience.

Absolutely amazing. Our children have grown so much there because of their loving staff

We transferred to the Goddard School a few years ago from a different daycare establishment and it was well worth it in all aspects. Goddard is smoothly run, very clean, safe, and all of the teachers are friendly and welcoming. We will definitely miss Goddard when our child starts Kindergarten next year!!

Royce LOVED 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.

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!

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!

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.

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!

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.

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

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!

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!

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.

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.
