We’ve been at The Goddard School of Branchburg for just over two years, and I can’t say enough wonderful things. From the directors and owners to every teacher we’ve had along the way, the staff is so warm, friendly, and genuinely caring. The love and attention our daughter receives every day fills my heart — it’s everything you hope for when trusting someone else with your child. She’s thriving, happy, and excited to go to school — which says it all. We couldn’t recommend this school more highly!

We couldn't have been any happier with the education and quality of care my almost 2 year old received while attending this school this year. His teachers were all amazing. They also have a large admin staff (all great) which really helps the school stand out from the others. They taught him so much and he now loves going to school, playing with other children, talking, singing, dancing and napped so well there too. They also have a very large and beautiful outdoor space and playground. They sent me daily pictures with great captions that sometimes made me laugh! We sadly moved to a different town and had to leave the school but I'm so glad he went there for the short time he did. If you are thinking of enrolling your child here, just do it and you will not regret it!

We loved our experience at Goddard for the last 3 years for our daughter from when she was 2 1/2 to 5 years old! Wonderful staff and very well organized with communications, events, etc. You become part of their family and feel very comfortable with your child spending so much of their day there. Our daughter thrived at this school in every way. We already miss it! Highly recommend this school.
