- CPCathleen PalaceAug 29, 20255.0Our soon to be kindergartner joined Goddard for summer camp and it was spectacular! There were so many fun activities, visitors and even field trips! He got to practice riding the bus and took swim lessons. On-site owners are so responsive/accessible and made sure we felt welcome from our very first conversation. Love the Goddard family!

- LLloidy lopezAug 19, 20255.0The Goddard School has been such an amazing experience for both my daughter and me. The environment is warm, caring, and truly welcoming. The owners and administration are incredibly understanding—they work with you, always take the time to listen to any concerns or questions, and make you feel completely at ease with their thoughtful responses and solutions. My daughter is always excited to go to school to see her friends and teachers. When she comes home, she’s full of stories—whether it’s about what she learned in class, her favorite activities, or the fun she had with her friends. Thank you all so much for everything you do. We’re so grateful and truly looking forward to the next few years with you!
- MCMaritza CastroAug 1, 20255.0My daughter has been attending The Goddard School of West Windsor since she was just 6 months old, and now, at almost 4 years old, she still absolutely loves it! The environment is incredibly welcoming, and the teachers are truly loving, caring, and dedicated. It’s clear how much effort they put into creating a space where children feel safe, supported, and excited to learn. Watching my daughter grow and thrive there over the years has been a joy. I couldn’t be more grateful for this amazing school and its wonderful staff!

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.

In many states, children who are not vaccinated because of exemptions based on medical condition or sincerely held religious beliefs attend The Goddard Schools.

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.
