At The Goddard School located in Marlboro (School Road East), 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.
We transferred schools when my son was 3 and the difference is incredible. He’s coming home having learned so much during the day but he’s still having fun while doing it. My son loves going to school and I can’t thank the Goddard School for creating a fun environment for him to learn in

We drop our child off every morning, knowing that he's going to be safe and have fun! The teachers and the leadership there are very supportive and communicative. They reached out to us as soon as there is anything that Needs to be communicated and make sure we feel like there is an open line of communication if we ever need to reach out to them. Very thankful to have found a place to support my son in his early developmental stages and I look forward to watching him grow and build relationships at the Goddard School.

Seeing the consistency of the “Goddard Standard” in transitioning from a different location to the Marlboro location gives us peace of mind. Marlboro is leveled up! We appreciate the BIG effort that make events like ‘grandparents day’ and welcoming the kids ‘back to school’ so special! The teachers at Marlboro have been nothing but warm and welcoming to myself and my littles. We are grateful to the teachers that have given extra love when they recognize my littles are having a hard time! We are extra grateful for instilling structure, education and life skills into their days without being too overbearing. We are loving our days at Goddard!

We started our son at Goddard in May, as a younger 2. He thrived under the care of Alanna and Erianna. He moved up to the next class in September and again is thriving socially and learning so much. We are thrilled that there was a spot for him, and would highly recommend Goddard School Road East to anyone looking for quality care for their little one!
