    Our son looks forward to and enjoys going to school every day. Here, at Goddard Lyndhurst, is where the stage is set for a successful and positive outlook on not only the meaning of school, but the importance of building long lasting relationships and developing skills that I know we wouldn't be able to teach only at home. Whenever I talk about Goddard to friends and family I always say "school" and at first, they looked at me and said, 'you mean daycare, right?' I never felt like Goddard was a daycare. This is our son's school. This is where he learns and grows. This is where he spends 5 days a week, 8-9 hours each day. The administrators are always welcoming and accommodating. Even if your situation is a unique one, they are trust-worthy and will help in any way they can. This location in particular is still on the newer side and I must say that since our son started going here in 2024, so many wonderful improvements have been made and keep being made! Communication alone has improved tons. They are also not afraid to admit that they have not done this or that before, but will do what they can to assist and do right. The parents here are strong and full of ideas and Goddard does their best to listen and make us feel heard.

    My daughter absolutely loves her Pre-K class at The Goddard School. Since this is her very first experience in a daycare setting, I was a little nervous at first, but she has grown, learned, and blossomed so much thanks to the caring environment you provide. Every day she comes home excited to share what she did and what she learned, and that means the world to me. I’m incredibly grateful for her wonderful teachers and the entire staff who make her feel safe, supported, and loved. Your patience, kindness, and dedication truly show in everything you do. I also want to give a special thank-you to Sam, Harsh, and Mona. You are an amazing admin team, always welcoming, helpful, and attentive. We appreciate all the hard work you put in behind the scenes to make Goddard such a positive place for our family. We’re so thankful to be part of this community!

    The Goddard School of Lyndhurst has truly been an amazing place for my daughter. Since day one, you can tell how genuinely involve the teachers and staff are towards her and all the kids when it comes to their well being. Knowing she is at a place where she is cared for is something that brought me much comfort as a parent. This was her first real school so naturally she was shy but over time you can see how her confidence grew that now she is very enthusiastic about going to school. Even on the weekends, she tells me she wants to go to school! I’ve also noticed how much she’s grown academically since starting here. She’s becoming more curious and eager to share what she learns each day with me. It’s clear that the curriculum is thoughtfully designed and that the teachers put real effort into helping each child learn at their own pace. The owners, Mona and Harsh are the nicest people you will ever meet. They make sure all your questions and concerns are heard. I truly am thankful for everything they have done for my family. This place is worth it.

    Goddard School of Lyndhurst has been the best thing that has happened to our family and we would give them 10 stars! We had our son at this school for two years and it truly has been life-changing for us. From the first moment we met Harsh and Mona we knew this was the place for our child. You can feel there is a genuine care for children's wellbeing that is so unique to this school. It feels like a community, and it operates as such. Plus, the level of communication and transparency is unmatched. We were also lucky to meet and befriend other parents and create bonds that helped children and parents alike : ) In case it helps other parents, I also want to mention our child attended another pre-school center for a year and he was so unhappy and anxious - it was heartbreaking for us. His lack of adjustment would be justified to us simply by saying he was 'too introverted'. I remember vividly the first time he attended a playdate at Goddard Lyndhurt, in one 1 our son was talking to Mrs. Jone about his favourite colors and interacting with other children. Wow, we immediately felt a massive wave of relief and realized he just needed the right environment - feeling safe, heard, seen, and cared for. The peace of mind we have had during these two years in priceless. We thank Harsh, Mona, Samantha, Yesenia and our beloved and dedicated teachers, Ms Tania, Mrs Jone and Mrs Marisela. We MISS YOU dearly and will ALWAYS BE GRATEFUL to all of you!
