- ASAmira ShardaeAug 18, 20251.0Sanjay is incredibly rude and doesn’t know how to speak to women . All he cares about is money . He has no regards to the children in his daycare. He’s not understanding at all. He’s disrespected me multiple times it’s quite appalling. The teachers and assistant teachers are delightful and wonderful though , my son loves Lexi & Chrissy . It’s sad I have to remove my child , due to the owners level disrespect and lack of empathy or understanding when it comes to small situations .

- DPDana PomerantzJul 25, 20255.0Great school, clean, and staff that cares. Our 3 year old was nervous at first and quickly adjusted. They also do a lot of fun weekly events for kids during the camp season. I’d recommend!
- MPmanasa parakalaJul 24, 20255.0Highly recommend because of the following: 1. Student to Teacher Ratios are maintained as promised at Goddard (versus other day cares/schools that do not actually follow this). 2. Education level is at par or better than other schools in the area - children really learn something good and we have witnessed their progress month by month. 3. Cleanliness - Goddard school has mandated hand washing as soon as children enter the classroom. Everything is maintained in a clean and organized way to limit the spread of sickness. 4. Management at Goddard Skillman - the owner Mr. Sanjay is very involved, engaged, present on site and takes meaningful steps to improve management at school. 5. Teachers - the teachers recruited are well educated, experienced, gentle and caring. Children connect with teachers so easily and love them. That shows quite a bit as children cannot pretend that kind of affection. We love it here at Goddard Skillman !!!
- DVDana ValentinoMay 10, 20245.0Such a kind and caring place! The teachers are fantastic- dedicated, fun and caring. The children all get along so well. The center puts on a lot of family functions that make the center feel like a community. My daughter has really flourished there!

Our busy toddlers flex their independence as they learn to walk, talk and safely explore the world around them. Their curiosity and interests drive the classroom structure.
In our preschool and pre-k classrooms, we add more school preparation and readiness by focusing on academic skills as well as interpersonal and collaboration skills. Teachers support children as they investigate the world around them. Children learn how to ask and answer questions, work with others, navigate social situations and understand and communicate their own thoughts and feelings.
Our teachers expertly create supportive classrooms for all children to safely learn and test new social, academic and physical skills throughout a typical routine that includes morning and afternoon snack time, lunch, naptime, exploration time, small and large group experiences and outdoor play.

To ensure the health and safety of everyone, if an outbreak occurs and a child has not been vaccinated, they will be asked to stay at home.

Please provide any necessary personal care supplies for your little one, such as diapers, wipes, a change of clothing and naptime bedding. For infants, please supply a crib sheet.
