- LSLacey Soper5 days ago5.0There isn’t one thing about the school or the people who take such great care of my child I don’t enjoy. I feel at peace knowing she is being dropped off somewhere that cares for her safely. I also love the curriculum and all of the activities they offer.
- FFFallon-Peek FamilyOct 7, 20255.0Our daughter has been at this Goddard for about 8 months and we have been thrilled with our experience so far. It’s evident that every staff member knows and cares about each student in the school, which is so important as they grow and transition into new classrooms. The on-site owner (Ms Danielle), the director (Ms Sabina), the administrative staff, and all the teachers are so friendly and go the extra mile to form strong relationships with all the families and keep them informed. Our daughter has been thriving here and we are so excited for her to continue her journey at Goddard over the next few years!
- NPNina Ramadan PatelJul 30, 20255.0I can’t say enough good things about the Goddard School in Old Bridge/Monroe! After a less-than-stellar experience at a previous local daycare, I knew right away this was the right place for us. Danielle, the owner, is warm, hands-on, and deeply invested in the children and staff. Both my three-year-old and 16-month-old are enrolled and thriving. The teachers are kind and attentive, and the curriculum is thoughtfully balanced between play, structure, and learning. Communication is fantastic, and we get end-of-day updates and photos, and the staff is always available and supportive. From the fun activities to the loving environment, it’s clear how much care goes into everything. We’re so grateful to have found a place where our kids are not just safe, but genuinely happy. Highly recommend!
- NPNamrata PatelJul 29, 20255.0My son has been going there since he was 12 months, and he is about to be 2 years old now! Just like any parents, I was scared and skeptical about a “stranger” watching our child! But we trusted Danielle as she made me comfortable about leaving a child in daycare! We loved our toddler 1 teachers, they were very personable, especially Ms. Emily, Ms. Allie and Ms. Gina! He loved mentioning their names when he came home! Now he is in toddlers 2 and oh boy has he “grown up”! He has learned so so much from toddler 1 and now learning so much from toddler 2! He talks so much, he also is very independent at home, and mentions Ms. Kasey .Ms. Stephanie, Ms. Madison, and Ms. Gaby! Let’s not forget he knows Ms. Sabina and Ms. Sandy! We love all the teachers that have interacted with our child and we appreciate them so so much because they are all nurturing and respectful! We highly recommend starting at Englishtown Goddard :)
- CPCourtney PettyJun 27, 20255.0We absolutely love The Goddard School in Old Bridge! From the moment we walked through the doors, we felt welcomed and at ease. A huge shoutout to Sandy — she is truly the heart of the school! Warm, funny, and always ready with a smile, she makes every drop-off feel like you’re leaving your child with family. The entire staff is incredibly caring, attentive, and professional. You can tell they genuinely love what they do and care deeply about each child. The classrooms are bright, clean, and full of engaging activities. Our child has learned so much and comes home happy and excited every day. We couldn’t be more grateful to have found a place that combines education, nurturing care, and a joyful atmosphere. Highly recommend to any family looking for a safe and loving environment for their little one!
