- RBRoosevelt BarhamOct 17, 20255.0I see my son thriving with the Goddard school program. He is in a safe friendly nurturing and educational environment. Each day is a different experience for him and I can attest of his happiness in seeing his school friends and the growth in his home environment
- KCKristina ChoSep 23, 20255.0Our youngest began his very first preschool experience at Goddard, and it has been such a wonderful start to his school life. He has grown so much here, learning routines, how to take turns, and how to simply enjoy being a child with his peers. Although he didn’t want to leave Goddard of Englewood Cliffs, our family’s move made it necessary. Still, the memories he made here will stay with him forever. He often talks about how much he enjoyed his time and especially how much he loved Ms. Kalemy. Her kindness, patience, and enthusiasm made such a lasting impression, he still says how awesome she was with him. We are truly grateful for the nurturing environment at Goddard and for teachers like Ms. Kalemy who make such a difference in a child’s early years.
- CBCarolina BolellaSep 19, 20255.0Absolutely love the staff and the teachers are so great with my son. Ms Zorah is gentle and sweet and patient and we love her!
- KLKat LimAug 20, 20255.0Great school with amazing teachers and Director. We started to send our son when he was 3 and stayed until pre-k. They do a wonderful job building routines, letting the kids be creative, and preparing them for kindergarten. Our son left starting to read, loving his teacher and group of friends, and loving books, drawing, science, and dancing. Thank you Goddard!
