My two daughters attend the Goddard School in Princeton. We have been very pleased with our experience here. The teachers are fantastic. They have provided my children with care when I have not been able to be there. My daughters truly enjoy their time there and seem to thrive in the environment. The directors have always been quick to respond to my concerns (although I have only had a couple in three years), and they have gone so far as to call me after hours to make sure that I was happy with their response. A daycare is run by people. We all have our good days and bad days. My husband and I have also done frequent "surprise" drop ins for various reasons. Mostly, we were hoping to "surprise" our children, not the staff!!!! We have never once seen anything in those "surprise" visits that has concerned us or has been different from what we see on a daily basis when we pick the girls up. I find the directors to be flexible and willing to work with you as long as you are willing to follow the "rules" that they require for the safety of the other children. The turnover is not high at all here at Goddard, and my second daughter has had many of the same teachers as my first had. It is nice to have someone taking care of my children that knows our family. Many of the teachers that do not have my girls will still say hello to them on the playground or in the school on our way out. To say that these people do not care about children is unfair and an inaccurate statement. We are VERY happy with Goddard. Yes, it does cost money to put your children in daycare. I would argue that the quality of care you get at Goddard makes the cost worth it! read more

When we moved to U.S. I don't know exactly what I was looking for, but I think that I just wanted some school that could give suport and care for my kids, since none of them knew the languege (english). Goddard surprised us by being caring and supportive with all their needs. Today, my older just surprises me everyday with a music, or a word or even a phrase, and I can really see the progress that she's having at Goddard and my little one is learning how to speak and seems to understand perfecty in english, I just wanted to say thank you for all the staff! I'm really glad that we chose the Goddard School to take care of our kids! Thank you all and a special thanks to Miss Jen, Miss Meredith (First Steps) for all the love and understanding that they've given to Thales and also to Miss Martina, Miss Donna, Miss Couleen and Miss Jessica (Preschool 2) to suport Sara and encourage her to be part of the class and make her understand and be each day more courious and engaged to the Goddard's program. And at least a special thanks to Miss Danielle, Miss Katie and Mr. Bryan for the effort, commitment and continously development for the school, that always includes us (parentes/family) to participate with our children all year long and be part of this new family. So, if you want a great school for your children, Goddard is the answer! read more

I first toured the Princton Goddard in March 2008 and I was very impressed with the school. My son started in the infant room when he was 7 1/2 weeks old. Over the last 2 years he has attended full-time, 5 days per week. It is a wonderful environment. The faculty of the Goddard in Princeton (all full time, no part time teachers or assistants) have established a perfect blend of safety & attention to detail matched with a caring and playful culture. My son loves it at the school and my husband and I always know that when we are at work that he is happy and well cared for. I have looked at other Goddard schools closer to my home and other daycares closer to my work and none have come close to the quality of the curriculum, the ability of the faculty to work with parents to address the needs of each individual child, and the enthusiasm amongst the faculty for early childhood development. This is clearly because of the dedicated executive director, director, and owner managing this program and recruiting & retaining quality faculty. Many of the teachers have been with the school for 4 or more years. I encourage you to visit the Goddard School in Princeton and find out what a quality & caring infant & pre-school program should be. read more

Our son has attended the Goddard School in Princeton for 2 years, since he was 7 months old. We have been very pleased with our experience. The teachers are very good (he talks about Miss Gaella and Miss Sarah all the time!), and the curriculum is great. He looks forward to going everyday. Everyone knows his name when we walk through the halls, even the piano teacher! They do interesting, challenging and varied activities (yoga, spanish, art, gym, recently computer time), and I love the photos they send throughout the day, the events (halloween, visit from a firetruck, hatching chicks), and the monthly 'lunch pals' where I join him for lunch. The facility is clean, up-to-date, and they have strict and sensible health, safety and administrative procedures that they diligently stick to. The standards are high. The management staff are very responsive to questions or concerns. We are happy to recommend Goddard School in Princeton based on our experience. read more

Our daughter has been attending Goddard Princeton since she was 4 months old. When visiting other day cares in the area, we would walk out and I would immediately say "no" to my husband. Goddard Princeton was our last visit because I walked in and instantly knew I would feel comfortable with my baby being there. Upon walking out of the school, I immediately said "yes" and stopped our search. My instincts were right! My daughter has been there for over two years now and I trust them with her nearly as much as I trust my own family. I know that my daughter loves them just as much; she is so excited to go to school, has no issue when I leave and sometimes is not even ready to come home when I pick her up! The pictures we get throughout the day also show how much fun she is really having! I could not be more grateful to the entire Goddard Princeton Team! Thank you! read more

Love this school! My son began at Goddard when he was three and was way beyond prepared for Kindergarten when he graduated. He made many friends, and adored each and every teacher he had. His classroom was always clean and inviting and the teachers were always friendly and welcoming. I was always impressed with the information I received about his day on his report, but even more impressed with the additional information he would give me about his day as we talked about the activities listed. My husband and I are so thrilled with the school, that as soon as we found out we were expecting our second child, we made sure to reserve a space! read more

Our family loves the Goddard School in Princeton! Our kids are always engaged in fun and educational activities throughout the day. We enjoy receiving pictures of them and their work every day and the daily report after pick-up. All of the teachers, the owner, and the directors are very friendly, welcoming, caring, loving, and have our child's best interest at heart. It's easy to see they love the kids and care about their progress. Over the past 7 years of visiting childcare centers in a few different states, the Goddard School is by FAR the best we have seen in terms of quality. read more

My son joined the preschool 2 class last November. We were transitioning him from a school he had known since six months of age. My husband and I were a bit nervous, but after meeting with Miss Danielle, we knew this was the right place. The staff are always very friendly and open to assisting you. The curriculum is outstanding. My son never wants to leave when I pick him up. That is a great sign. If you are considering this location, please call and make an appointment. You want regret it. Happy Parent, Monique McCollough read more

The Goddard School in Princeton is a very high quality learning center where our kids enjoy themselves and learn at the same time! We are impressed with the educated staff who clearly love what they do. The kids are happy, safe, and taken care of well. We love getting updates throughout the day of their activities through pictures (and sometimes video). We are looking forward to their summer program where they have a wide variety of field trips and other great learning opportunities. They are the best! read more

It's beyond any expectations! They are a great child care for the entire family. We love Goddard school teaching method, and we also enjoy a lot all the opportunities they give us (the parents) to be there and to participate with our kids: PJ's and Pancakes, Lunch Pals, Science fairs, Holidays events, Mr Ray's, and much more. It's very important to be able to participate on our kids learning life. And the staff there are Top! Always friendly, helpful and the kids love them. Fully recommended. ;) read more

This school should be renames daylight robbery, it is that worse! The owner gives free month tuition as a competition for parents to write positive reviews about the school and that's the reason for the large number of positive reviews. The management tries to fleece the parents in various number of ways. There are lot of fee for even smallest things that you take for granted in other schools. My son hated it there and I moved him to another school that was not overcrowded and loves it now. read more

Our daughter has been at Goddard since June 2016. It was the best decision ever made! There is no greater feeling than knowing your child is in a safe, secure and loving environment. She is so fond of her teachers (as am I!), has had so many wonderful experiences and has learned so much!!! I am so impressed with the curriculum and all the creative and fun ways of learning. The Goddard School at Princeton has brought so much peace of mind, making our move to NJ that much smoother! read more
