Day Care CenterPreschoolPrivate SchoolChild Development Center
At The Goddard School located in Hamilton (Quakerbridge), 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.
Goddard Hamilton II has been an incredible place for our child, and we truly love it here. One of the things that stands out most is the individualized care each child receives. It's clear the teachers and staff take the time to get to know every child’s unique personality and needs. Our child has thrived in this nurturing environment, and we always feel confident dropping them off each day knowing they’re in such capable, loving hands.
The administrative staff is equally amazing. We love Alyssa, Amanda and Kim! It's obvious they genuinely love their jobs and care deeply about every child that walks through the door. They go above and beyond to make the center feel like a second home, and we’re consistently impressed by the thoughtful, fun, and enriching activities planned each week. We love when she comes home with her creative art projects (16 months old)! We couldn't be happier with our experience at Goddard Hamilton II!

Our daughter has been attending The Goddard School Hamilton II since she was three months old and she is now 4 years old. The teachers and the administrative staff are very nice and often go beyond their job responsibilities to ensure that the children learn and have fun.

I’ve been extremely satisfied with my experience over the last 3, almost 4 years with Hamilton Goddard. My daughter loves coming to school everyday and they do so much with the children. All of the staff truly care and go above and beyond to create a warm environment. I feel a sense of security and peace sending my child here.

From the moment we toured The Goddard School about six months ago, we had this undeniable feeling that this was THE place for our little girl. We were warmly welcomed by the owner and her amazing staff, who exuded an energy that’s hard to put into words. The facility was also spotless, which made a great first impression. Although we were initially disappointed to learn there was a six-month waitlist, we enrolled our daughter elsewhere while we waited and were overjoyed when a spot finally opened up.
Admittedly, we were a bit nervous about transitioning her to a whole new environment, but we shouldn't have worried. The transition was seamless, and it quickly became clear that moving to Goddard was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. It’s easy to see why there's a long waitlist!
The staff is consistently kind, warm, and genuinely enthusiastic. The owner, director, and assistant director run a tight, but incredibly fun, ship. Our daughter’s teachers are wonderful, and we feel so grateful knowing she’s in such capable and caring hands every day. Every staff member we've interacted with seems to want to be there, and that joy trickles down to the kids.
The curriculum and activities offered at Goddard are a world apart from our previous daycare. Our daughter is constantly engaged with enriching and imaginative programming, and the school goes above and beyond to make learning fun. The hallways and classrooms are always festively decorated, and each classroom has a bulletin board showcasing the children's creative work, which we love seeing.
Another standout is their communication. We receive regular updates and adorable photos throughout the day via their app, which has been so reassuring and delightful. The staff is consistent with updates, whether it’s sharing a fun moment or checking in when our little one is out sick. The attention to detail and communication makes a big difference in how connected we feel to her day.
Although we’ve only been with the school for a couple of months, it already feels like home. We’re so thankful to have found a place where our daughter is not just cared for, but truly thriving—and having a blast while doing it. We look forward to many more fun-filled days at Goddard!

My daughter has been attending The Goddard School since April, starting in the infant room, and she has transitioned beautifully. The change from being home full-time to going to school was a big adjustment for all of us—especially for mom—and I can't overstate how grateful we are for the support and compassion we received from Kim, Amanda, and Alyssa. Their warmth, patience, and genuine care made a world of difference, and we couldn’t have asked for a better start to our daughter's early education journey.
In just three months since our daughter started at Goddard in Hamilton, we've seen such incredible growth. Thanks to the support of her wonderful teachers, she's reaching so many social, emotional, and developmental milestones. Every day when we pick her up, she’s all smiles — and drop-offs are now tear-free! We are beyond grateful for the nurturing environment and the dedicated team at Goddard. Thank you for everything you do!
