- MCMeaghan CorderoOct 15, 20245.0Absolutely love The Goddard School of Denville. From the moment you tour the school, you immediately feel like you are a part of a family. My children adore their teachers and the curriculum is rigorous; I see how much they learn on a daily basis! Ms. Sarah and Ms. Tina are so incredibly easy to talk to and make the whole experience enjoyable. Goddard also has an app that allows you to see pictures throughout the day and read the daily curriculum which leaves no stone unturned. I could not imagine sending my kids anywhere else!

- WKWendy KOct 19, 20155.0Both of my sons attended The Goddard School in Denville, NJ and we love it. They started when they were infants and graduated when they were 5 years old. The teachers are warm, knowledgeable, fun and genuine. They teach your children and care about their well being. The school is bright, inviting and a fun place to learn. I always knew my children were getting the best care possible while learning so many new things academically as well as socially. They were extremely well prepared for elementary school. The Goddard School of Denville is "your home away from home". We are still friendly with many parents and families from The Goddard School. The owner, Tom, is always on site and loves the kids. His passion is making sure every child is learning, happy and having fun. I would highly recommend The Goddard School of Denville! Take a tour. It is a wonderful place.

In our preschool and pre-k classrooms, we add more school preparation and readiness by focusing on academic skills as well as interpersonal and collaboration skills. Teachers support children as they investigate the world around them. Children learn how to ask and answer questions, work with others, navigate social situations and understand and communicate their own thoughts and feelings.

In many states, children who are not vaccinated because of exemptions based on medical condition or sincerely held religious beliefs attend The Goddard Schools.

Please provide any necessary personal care supplies for your little one, such as diapers, wipes, a change of clothing and naptime bedding. For infants, please supply a crib sheet.
