At The Goddard School located in Burlington, we're more than just a daycare. The Goddard School is a private preschool, offering childcare to infants and toddlers to pre-k. Our programs are designed to nurture each child's curiosity in a safe and caring environment.
Our kids have been at Goddard for over three years, and we’ve experienced every class, from infants to toddlers to the oldest group. The staff have been wonderful to both our children and our family. We’ve watched our kids grow, learn, and thrive in a safe environment. The team has gone above and beyond to support our daughter’s medical needs, more than we could have asked or expected. Along the way, our children have built lasting friendships with classmates, and we’ve connected with many of their parents as well. We couldn’t imagine our kids attending any other daycare in the area.

It is an honor to write this review for the Goddard School of Burlington, New Jersey. I will start by saying that I am the grandmother of an almost 15 month old beautiful little girl. I have temporary custody of her. I don't live to far from the Goddard School and for many years I drove past there and didn't think that one day I would be part of the Goddard family because "I am a Mom-Mom"! My granddaughter started there on November 4, 2024; I had removed her from another daycare (which will remain nameless) where she was sick all of the time. Ever since she started attending the Goddard School, my little girl is the happiest baby that you will ever encounter. She walks in there with the biggest smile on her face, waving high to everyone, and anxious to get in her classroom (infant). My little girl has advanced so much, she is walking, she loves being read to (she loves books), she's learning Spanish words, Sign Language and she gets so excited when she sees her favorite teacher, Ms. Kimberly!! Lately, she has been attached to Ms. Pallavi, the owner. She's taken into the office just to hang out with them.
Whenever you see a child in a daycare center so happy and close to the staff, you know without a doubt that your child is well taken care of. I look forward every single day to dropping off my little girl at the Goddard School...and she looks forward to it too.
I highly recommend this school for your child! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Great staff, great management, clean and welcoming facility.
There seems to be a high turnover of staff but it's very normal in this line of work and management seems very committed to maintaining well trained, friendly staff that really cares for the children. we get daily updates and transparency of our toddler's daily activities.

Looking at all these 5 stars makes me wonder if those individuals were paid to write such a review. Ever since my child started going to this facility it has been problem after problem. The staff complains, the admin complains, the petty behaviors, the unprofessionalism; teachers fighting in front of toddlers, smh. The high turnover; They have new teachers every month because they can't seem to keep their staff. The child neglect and child endangerment. The 5+ open investigations with CPS is beyond despicable. I don't even know why this daycare is still open.... I am sorry I ever brought my child to this facility, honestly. My last straw was when I went to pick my child up and her teacher didn't know where she was, then instead of owning it and apologizing she called me a liar.... I could go on and on and on but I'll end it here. Drop your child off at your own risk. Just know, they won't tell you anything, they would rather keep your child's safety a secret.

We are new to this school but we are very happy there. I have two 1 year olds who have been cared for at home until recently. The owner, director, and teachers have made the transition so much easier for my children. They recognize the challenges of starting a new school during a pandemic and how strange this experience has been for us and they’ve made us feel comfortable throughout. They are taking the health and safety of their students seriously and managing it well. My daughters have spent almost 4 months in quarantine at home with no exposure to strangers and they have adapted very well to this group of people, which really speaks to the effort that they are putting in to make my children feel comfortable and safe. I would recommend this school highly. We are excited to watch our girls learn and grow there.
