At The Goddard School located in Sicklerville, 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.
This school is everything you could want for your child!!! From the tour to my son’s first day, everyone has been kind, welcoming, and made us feel like family! Cleanliness, safety, attentive teachers/staff, The Goddard School Sicklerville has it all!!!! My son had a rough few weeks in the morning adjusting since he transferred from another daycare and Ms Alyssa and Ms Joyce were always so patient and calm and did whatever they could to make him comfortable in his new environment. Ms. Sonia and Ms. Judy are the best preschool teachers ever and being able to see and hear the progress my son is making has been mind blowing. The front office staff is always kind and helpful with anything that my family may need. When we toured with Jackie I instantly knew that The Goddard School Sicklerville was the best option for my son. Choosing this school was the best decision EVER!!!!

We toured this school last week as we were considering enrolling our son. The tour went well, we were given detailed information, and everything seemed very positive. We also provided information about our son, and at that time, we were told there was availability in his age group.
The following morning, we called immediately to proceed with enrollment, only to be informed that there was no space available for his age group. We were told that only one spot had been open, and it was filled right after our visit. This struck us as unusual, especially given the tone of the phone conversations that followed.
To clarify the situation, I later asked my brother-in-law to call and inquire about availability for the same age group. He was told over the phone that there was space available. Immediately after that, I called myself—twice—but my calls were ignored. However, when I called again from a different phone number, they answered right away. When I asked about availability, I was told, “let me take a look at your profile,” and then informed there was still no space.
When I pointed out that they had just told my brother-in-law that there was availability, they denied ever saying that. This experience was extremely disappointing and unprofessional. I wish I could give negative stars !

As a parent who has sent all three of our children to the Goddard in Sicklerville I can’t recommend this school highly enough. We have been a part of this community for 6 years, and the experience has been amazing.
The teachers and staff here are truly a second family to us. From day one, we were welcomed with open arms and genuine warmth. Our kids’ teachers and the front office (Jackie, Vicki, Katerina) made us feel so comfortable, and it was obvious how much they genuinely care about each and every child and running a good school with high standards. As every parent knows, it’s hard to leave your children, but knowing they were in such loving and compassionate hands made it so much easier.
Over the years, we watched our kids flourish both academically and socially. The curriculum is fantastic, it’s engaging, creative, and gave them a solid foundation for elementary school. But social development is what has truly impressed us. Our children have grown into confident, empathetic, and kind individuals. They've learned how to share, resolve conflicts, and make wonderful friends in a nurturing environment.
We are so grateful to the entire team at the Goddard in Sicklerville for helping us raise well-rounded kids. This place will always hold a special place in our family's heart. Thank you for everything you do!

The best school around. I been in this school as a little girl picking up my siblings and cousins with family to now picking up my own son. The greatness did not change. My son was a preemie so he is a little behind in milestones, and throughout his time in Goddard he has progressed quickly. His teachers are very patient, loving, and responsible with not only him, but others. Teaching them new things, and being sure to make you feel involved by sending pictures throughout their day! The school, classrooms, and outside itself is always well kept and clean. I couldn't be more pleased. Shout out to all of the infant classroom staff, you guys hold a special special place in my heart. If my son couldn't go to Goddard, he wasn't going anywhere. You will not be disappointed sending your child/children here.

My child attended this school for years, Jackie is the owner and she only cares about money and does not care about our kids I have 4 examples to back up everything I'm saying.
-I accidentally locked my child in the car, the alarm was going off other concerned parents were gathering around the car to see if everything was okay. I went inside and told her that my child was locked in the car and asked for a hanger, she gave me the hanger and did not come outside once to see if my child was okay while other concerned parents did check on us. I got the car door opened and returned the hanger, she did not come outside once while there was panic in her parking lot. It was strange and very uncompassionate behavior for a daycare owner.
-Previously the Goddard School had a 5 day period in the beginning of the month for parents to pay for school, if you pay after that you will pay fines and fees understandably- its a business, makes sense. The issue is she randomly shrunk the paying period from 5 to only 3 days in the middle of this tight economy we are facing. I even asked why she shortened it and she did not provide a reason she just said it needed to happen. Clear example of her being money hungry and not caring about her parents.
-I saw another kid get hit by one of the staff when I walked in during nap time, I reported it. Jackie never reached out to talk to me about what I saw. Again acts of carelessness.
-Lastly she has the same picture company that takes pictures of the kids every year and I paid for a picture package for my daughter. I never received the pictures and I emailed the company multiple times. I told the front staff about my experience and I told them they should not use that company any longer as they as scamming your parents. Do you know they still use that picture company till this day? Absolutely Insane!
-I say all this to say Jackie when you read this from one parent to another we can tell if your heart is not in it and clearly yours is not. We can feel it. These are all clear examples of you dropping the ball on your parents. The staff honestly was not my issue they were pretty kind and cool but Jackie, your heart is truly not in it and it starts from the top and it pours down. Do better!
