My daughter has been attending this school since September and I have nothing but amazing things to say. I love that's this facility has a curriculum and prides themselves on educating my child. I've seen so much growth since she enrolled.Her teachers (Ms Liz and Ms. Rebecca) are so kind and loving. My daughter really loves going to class everyday. The entire staff (including the admin and directors) have really gotten to know all the kids here. It's a great loving environment.This school offers lots of seasonal activities and events which are really cool. Some even get the entire family involved (I.e. Halloween parade/festival, Grandprarents day) and they even have special date night events where mom and dad can drop off on the weekend for a dinner date. It's just a great place for your kid to be. Highly recommend!

As I first time mom i was really nervous about putting my son in daycare. My son started at the Goddard School-Burlington location when he was 5 months old. He is now almost two. Since starting there all of his teachers have provided EXCELLENT care to my son. Ms. Gina is absolutely amazing. The Administrators are amazing and they communicate very well with their parents. All of the staff are caring, supportive, understanding and very professional. I would 1000 percent recommend this daycare to anyone.

Do not do it…. This place is horrible they are the most unprofessional people I have ever meet the directo Arney is so unprofessional she is nasty and rude doesn’t know how to talk to her staff she embarrass them in front of parents I don’t know how the owner aloud her to speak and treat people like this. They don’t treat the kids right everything is under cover up because of their director. She need to get fired from that place I will never recommend this to no one they need to take accountability for the way their director behaves

Fantastic daycare/preschool to have your child attend. They are constantly doing activities and there is a theme for everyday having to doing with what is going on during the month. My child is currently enrolled in the infant program and they even find ways to include the young children in the activities which is above and beyond. Great care, my child loves it here and the staff is in sync with the parents and children’s needs and schedules.

The Goddard School has been apart of our family since 2020 and we are absolutely happy with the services provided. We love how welcomed both of our children have always felt when arriving to school. The teachers have certainly made each transition smoother than we could’ve imagined. We are so grateful to the Goddard School ❤️

worst experience with this childcare, I urge to recommend parents not to trust this people! they are unprofessional. I really regretted that my grandson was there. They hired people without any experience working with children. It's not worthy the money that they charged, there is only about money and not caring for children. Please Our children deserves a good place to be taking care of and this is not one of them!

The Goddard School in Burlington is wonderful! Our son has been with them since he was 6 months old, and we couldn't be happier. He adores every teacher he has had, and we appreciate the open communication they have with us. Everyone is extremely helpful and so incredibly friendly. They have a great team in place, and we are so happy we chose to send our son here!

The Goddard School in Burlington NJ has been my favorite place to work at. management is always going out of their way to make sure that their staff and families are happy and heard. from the second i walked in the door, i felt that i was welcomed into the Goddard family, especially with Mrs. Pallavi she is very kind and always going out of her way to make sure their teachers have the resources needed to help every child learn in the way that works best for them. Goddard School is a very happy, safe and clean environment to be in and i would recommend sending your child here to join this Family.

DON'T DO IT! They are Threatening legal action for a month that my child did not attend the school and saying that we owe them $1,400.My two year old girl was having tantrums as a good amount of two year olds do. Which is why there is the phrase "Terrible Twos".It's also quite possible that our child may have a speech development issue or just a late bloomer which is why she may have resorted to being physical. We paid $1,400 a month and apparently they still had no professional accommodations or resources to deal with this.They constantly called us and called us to tell us about her tantrums and hitting instead of addressing it for themselves. Meanwhile, when were trying to do our jobs, my husband and I went out our way to go up to the school a few times to talk to our child and them to see what was going on.They then let us know that our child (A TWO Year Old) mind you had a week to change her behavior or she was going to be expelled. After that I was done. I really didn't want her to leave because I was afraid of change, but I went ahead and did it.And thank God I did. Now she is at a new daycare and guess what? It's been going on the third week and no constant calls when we are trying to our work as apparently they know how to handle it! We also pay dramatically less: $800 a month and they seem to have more resources!My husband asked them in person to refund our money back for the days in August she will not be attending and they were not willing to give it back, so my husband filed a dispute with his bank. She only attended August 1st through the 4th. The bank gave us our money back and now they are saying we still owe them for August or they are pursuing legal action.They gave my little girl a week to stop acting like a toddler and we owe them 30 days notice, how does that work? You were going to kick her out anyway!Also funny enough the neighbors across the street from us have a little boy that was actually kicked out for something similar at this same location. And a friend of ours said she would pickup her son and everyday his face would be covered in snot even after she constantly told them, among other reasons why she removed her son.Don't do it, more money spent does not always mean better care or quality. If you don't have a cookie cutter child or if you have a child with developmental issue don't send them here.

My wife and I took our daughter out of the school due to some situations at the beginning of August right on her birthday We asked if the bill could be prorated due to she was only there for 4 days and they said no. So I had to pay them the money and if I didn't I would have legal action, but to find out my neighbor across the street from me was able to get the bill prorated and he only had to pay for the days his child was there for. I don't think that was right. Therefore I am giving them a 1 star If I could give no stars I would. Be careful of taking your child to the Burlington location.

The school has caring employees and the owner is dedicated to the safety of all children and is passionate about the level of care the kids get. She is so personable and she loves her grandchild and she takes same attitude for the well-being of kids at the school. There are so many fun activities she does to keep the kids engaged.

I’ve had two children go through this school. The first started when she was a little over a year old, and the second started when he was just 7 weeks. We were there through the owner swap over. It was a little tough in the beginning, but we stuck it out and they found their footing. Then covid hit, and once again, they pulled it together and handled it beautifully. They’ve invested in extra precautions since then to keep the kids safe and healthy. They take hiring their staff very seriously, and invest a lot into training them. The training never stops, if a child is being difficult, their teacher gets additional training for how to handle it. That’s something to be said, they don’t look at the problem as the child, and the solution is support and training for the teacher. THAT is the best philosophy a daycare can have. They truly feel like family. I suffered through postpartum depression and anxiety, so to tell you I’m comfortable leaving my children here is no small statement.My oldest graduated before she went to the public kindergarten in our town. Her first day, her teachers were Flores by how much she already knew and could do. She knew her alphabet, could write her own name, use scissors, color in the lines, and she was already reading and writing. She was miles ahead of her peers and still is. She’s reading 2 grade levels above her current grade. We owe all of that to Goddard. I’ve been extremely disappointed in the lack of understanding current school has in child development both socially and emotionally. I NEVER had that experience at Goddard, and I miss it.My second is much less of a high achiever, and for every ounce of trouble my first never gave me, he makes up for 10 fold. The director will always listen to my concerns and she’s worked with me in the past to make sure that if he’s not behaving well, that we are all working together to help him. It’s all concern for my child, and never anything the school can’t handle. She checks on ALL of us to make sure everything is ok at home and asks what they can do there to support him.The point is, these people GET children. They truly help them grow and flourish in this environment. They’ve become family and I am truly dreading the day that this facility will no longer be a part of our daily lives.
