This is the second daycare school my son has attended, we were very disappointed with the first, but he will be with Goddard until he attends public school. Every single teacher, director, and the owner Bryan, make a point to know EVERY single child who attends. My son LOVES going to school every day. He loves his teachers! He has grown and learned so much in the past year it's incredible, and so much more than I ever expected. I trust every member of the faculty explicitly and am so happy that we found this school! Thank you all for being so amazing!

I have two children at the Goddard School of Princeton and it's been a wonderful experience so far. The teachers and staff are all very caring and my kids come home happy every day. The school is clean, there are fun activities and programs that rotate through the curriculum and the gym and play equipment are a hit with my kids. I'd recommend the Goddard School of Princeton to other parents and families in the area.

It's a very nice and clean school with caring teachers.We just couldn't find common ground with their management. Oh, and they have lost 3 absolutely new sets of clothes for our kid.

We can’t say enough about Goddard School Princeton! We moved in town this year and teachers and staff quickly made it feel like home!We started at Goddard in the first steps room (ages 12-18 months) when my son was 13 months and we were so impressed how much they do with the kids even that young. They have daily lesson plans they follow with the kids on topics like farm animals, the weather, holidays, around the world, foods, community helpers talking about firefighters, librarians, doctors, farmers, etc. They do daily sensory play, art, yoga, sing songs, story time, go to the indoor gym most days, or the outdoor playground when it’s warm! They celebrate birthdays and holidays with the kids together. The school has great holiday lunches where they invite the parents into the classroom to have lunch with their kids. They also provide healthy snacks for the kids each day.We walk in to school everyday and all the teachers, Directors, and Assistant Directors call out my son’s name and he waves back in excitement. We go into his classroom and he runs to play with his friends. It makes us so happy he loves it and he feels at home there.We have seen such big milestones with my son ever since he went to school here! We are so happy with our experience! Highly recommend this school to anyone who is looking.

My elder daughter went to Goddard School of Princeton and she loved it. Now my younger is going to Goddard School and having a great time. The teachers are fantastic and they really care about your children. Thank you so much for taking care of our kids so well so that we can work without worrying about them. Happy Thanksgiving!

Excellent school! As a mom of two boys (3 & 5), I have been extremely happy w/ the Goddard School of Princeton. The environment is safe, clean and positive. Teachers seem to genuinely love what they do and each other – it shows in how engaged kids are. My experience in two other known franchises has been sub-par, while this school exceeded expectations.CLEANLINESS. This school has tough policies on safety and cleanliness. This was one of the deciding factors for me, as infections were becoming a regular occurrence at our prior school. My kids went from having a bug every other month to zero bugs in 2 years! Given current pandemic environment, there is no other place I would trust more to keep my kids as protected and healthy as they possibly can be.CURRICULUM. Another important factor, as my oldest was "too advanced" for his old class and was clearly bored. He is extremely engaged now and excited to share what he learned! I really appreciate the fact that through each of the classes, the teachers seem to have a mindset for getting them ready for the next step.

This was an amazing school. Everything Was always perfect. The teachers are sweet with the kids, very well trained and very careful with the kids. The director and assistant directors are highly responsive and always ready and willing to help with a smile in their faces. The school is very clean and the facilities are really good. The owner is always looking for ways to improve the school and every year, I felt they were not going to be able to top the last, but every year they did. Even under Covid and lockdown situations, the school did everything to keep the kids engaged and did everything to open as soon as possible with great precautions in place. I can only say great things about this school. Highly recommend this school

We moved to NJ from Brooklyn last year and left behind a wonderful nanny and an easy commute. We were very wary about signing our son up in a daycare since up to this point he was always with family or our nanny and always in our home. We knew we needed a new local solution that could handle our commute times (early AM and late-ish). After visiting a couple of daycare centers and not feeling so great about them - we had the opposite experience with Goddard (Princeton). Our first impression with the school was how vibrant, active and clean it was! We enrolled our 1.5 year old and a year later we are still BEYOND THRILLED! The staff is so dedicated and so involved and interested in the kids. There is always action and their curriculum blows us away. Whatever guilt we thought we'd feel being at work rather than at home was wiped out when we saw how much fun our son was having and how much he was being exposed to! The Tadpole app is our daily obsession and we share it with all of the grandparents. Being able to see photos and videos during the day makes me feel much more in tune with his day and more connected. The Goddard Princeton is one of the best things that we've added to our family with the move from NYC to NJ.

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!

My son has been with Goddard since September 2015 and loves everything about his school. It is not surprising at all to us that he learns something new every day, thats The Goddard school of Princeton. Best staff I have interacted with who are are very creative, patient, enthusiastic and motivating. I have noted on several occasions that kids stay energetic and happy until end of day, that’s no easy feat for an institution unless they create a kid friendly environment. I strongly agree that the Goddard’s Curriculum which is though challenging but through industry’s best coaching methods that make learning fun and inviting. Thats how my son's transition to Kindergarten was so seamless as he was well prepared!Thanks to Mr. Bryan, Ms.Danielle and Ms.Katie who are always on their toes to resolve all issues and any safety concerns surrounding school ensuring controls are in place. Tadpole updates provides a parent with clear and concise information about our child’s day at school. The walls are always filled with creative and fun art projects and I'm always happy when these come home. Any parent who is looking for an institution with safe, caring, loving and stimulating environment for learning through innovative and interesting methodologies, must consider this school.A school that is so willing to work with parents to make the schedule fit with your family, I can't recommend Goddard School of Princeton highly enough!

My older daughter has been attending Goddard Princeton for 2 years. When she ran into the class room and played there for 1 hour without us on the visit day, we know that we have found the one. Now my younger daughter is reaching the age we planned for school. Surely Goddard Princeton is our first and only choice. Thank you all the teachers and staffs in Goddard Princeton for providing a safe and happy environment for our kids!

Goddard in Princeton is awesome! We immediately felt comfortable in the physical space. The building and the the bright atmosphere make me feel like we’re dropping our daughter off at a friend's or relative’s house. It doesn't have the “institutional” feel like many of the other schools we looked at. It’s clean and well kept and that was important to my wife and me.We’re also continuously impressed by the attention, care, and professionalism that the entire faculty exhibits. It’s clear that the teachers enjoy working there and that they feel appreciated and respected by the administration. This carries over into their interaction with the children and we feel confident when we drop our daughter off that she is going to be cared for and that her needs will be met. It’s also heartening to see how excited our daughter’s teachers get when they tell us about new developments that they’ve noticed. We know they care about our child.Additionally, the level of communication is outstanding. As a whole, I feel like I know what is going on at the school in general because of the newsletters and daily updates. But I also specifically know what happens each and every day in our daughter’s classroom because of the level of detail that is included in the daily updates. And I also know that I can call at any time and speak with an upper level administrator or even directly to our daughter’s teacher.We could not be happier with the decision we made to send our daughter to Goddard.

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. ;)

I highly recommend the Goddard School in Princeton. My daughter is in their pre-K program now and she loves it. The teachers have all been there for many, many years and many have early education degrees and a lot of experience working with kids. I know my daughter will be well-prepared for kindergarten, as both my boys have also gone through the pre-K program. In pre-K, the kids are using Handwriting Without Tears and those kids who are ready to read have the support of the teachers to help them. Socially, Goddard is also an excellent place. The teachers encourage learning through play and they deal with conflict with patience and kindness. The facility is very clean and always being updated. I love that the teachers value outside time. On days when it's too cold or rainy to go outdoors, the school has a beautiful gym with a rock wall for the kids to run around in. My daughter looks forward to school every day.
