Highly recommend Goddard at Long Hill!! We love everything about them!! Our daughter started at 18mo now 2.5yrs old, our son at 4mo, both are under excellent care and love being there! Sumara and staff are the best! High quality teachers and faculty who are caring and professional. The facility is very clean, great parent communication, fun school events, convenient meal plans, thoughtful curriculum, and so much more! We saw tremendous growth in our kids in a short period of time and thank everyone there who helped them grow, build their confidence and structure! Well run organization!

My son has been at Goddard for a year and I feel fortunate that my family is a part of this community. I was nervous to send my son to daycare at 6 months old, but the teachers and administration put me at ease. My son is safe, nurtured and loved, which is all that a parent could want. He looks forward to school and cannot wait to play with his friends. It has been amazing to watch him grow physically, emotionally and socially over the past 12 months. I cannot recommend Goddard enough.

The teachers and staff at Goddard of Long Hill are nothing short of incredible. Their genuine care for the children is evident in all that they do. Not only do they have a thorough and thoughtful curriculum designed to ensure the students’ educational growth, they also take an active role in the children’s social development - guiding and coaching them all along the way. Their attentiveness and sincere love for the kids is unparalleled - and in my opinion, the primary reason our daughter has thrived at the school the past 2 years she’s been there.

Our children have attended Goddard for two years now and we're so happy to be a part of the community there. Our kids love the activities and events at the school. The teachers are attentive and kind and really get to know the kids. The directors are responsive and open to feedback. All around it's been all we'd hoped.

As a parent of multiple children, all of whom have attended this wonderful school, I am consistently impressed by the friendly and nurturing environment provided by the dedicated staff.The staff at Goddard goes above and beyond to create a welcoming atmosphere that immediately puts both parents and children at ease. It's clear that they truly love what they do and are passionate about the well-being and development of every child in their care.I've witnessed firsthand how Goddard prepares children for the transition to kindergarten. The curriculum is not only educational but also engaging and tailored to each child's developmental stage. The teachers are skilled at identifying and nurturing each child's strengths, helping them build a solid foundation for future academic success.In summary, I wholeheartedly recommend Goddard to any parent seeking a safe, friendly, and well-run daycare that not only cares for but also actively prepares children for the exciting journey of kindergarten. My family has been blessed to be a part of this exceptional community, and we are grateful for the positive impact it has had on our children's lives.

Choosing Goddard for our daughter's early education was unequivocally the best decision we made as a family. The exceptional curriculum, dedicated staff, and nurturing environment exceeded our highest expectations. From day one, our daughter was enveloped in care, her learning journey was enriched, and we felt an unwavering sense of safety for her.Owners Sumara and Imran are not just administrators; they are active participants in every child's development. Their commitment to creating engaging activities for both children and parents is a testament to their dedication. The management staff, Lourdes and Kimberly, are consummate professionals, always ready to address our questions & concerns with utmost attention.The teachers at Goddard are not just educators; they are caregivers, mentors, and friends. Our daughter's journey from age two to five was guided by these amazing individuals, equipped with the right knowledge and a genuine passion for child care.As our daughter embarks on a new educational journey, we say goodbye to Goddard with a heavy heart. It was more than a school; it was a family. We wholeheartedly recommend Goddard to any parent seeking the best for their child. It's not just an institution; it's a community that nurtures, educates, and genuinely cares.Clara & Paul

My son has been at Goddard since 6 months old and I’ve had a really positive experience from the beginning. Learning and growing there has been tremendous for him especially socially. The staff is readily available and responsive with good communication throughout the year. And my son loves going to school every day!

Goddard Long Hill has been wonderful for both of our children. Everyone at the school is caring, thoughtful and helped our kids grow both socially and academically. Our older son was very well prepared for elementary school and is doing very well in second grade. We highly recommend the school and have been very happy with our experience.

Tomorrow will be such a bitter sweet day. My little girl’s last day of Preschool. Feels like just yesterday I was leaving my precious girl in the hands of strangers; four and a half years later she’s off to Kindergarten. These “strangers” have become our mentors, our saving grace, our lifeline. They have become a part of our family. I can’t thank the The Goddard School team enough.Sumara, Imran, we appreciate you. We thank you for being a part of Valentina’s most crucial years of growing and learning. From the moment we made the decision to enroll Valentina in your school we knew that we were not only just a number; we were lifelong friends. The love and dedication you both have to your school is second to none and it will always be recognized.Mrs Lourdes, Mrs Kim, even though we’ve only known each other for a short time it feels like a lifetime. Thank you for our countless talks, countless advice, and the care you have given to Valentina. You are truly the backbone of the school.To all the teachers at your school, thank you times 1 million. They were there through it all. From all the special events, dress up days, science experiments, outside play, sports; they were there. Most of all, they were there through the laughs, the tears and all of the in between. We are forever grateful for not only pushing Valentina to be a good student, but first, a great person. As a working mom, that never has a stop bottom, it was important to find a team that was going to be there for my daughter when I couldn’t be. To introduce new foods, teach her letters and numbers, math and science, the meaning of holidays and most of all the meaning of true friendship. How to be kind to others, how to share, to have manner, and when to stand up for yourself and others. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience during these 4.5 years. Goddard you will truly be missed ❤️

I toured the school and we initially liked it. We called up 2 days later to proceed with enrolling. However, they said that they are still finalizing schedules and I’ll hear back from them soon. I Never heard anything back.I’m not sure if they just forgot or is it because my child is on the autism spectrum. I understand this is a private facility and they get to choose who attends but not being upfront with the parents is unprofessional!

I worked at this location for about a month or so. The owner & her husband are so rude!! I loved the job & the kids but they made me hate it to a point where I quit. They would let everyone in the staff wear a certain kind of pants but tried to send me home 30+ mins away to change, when they threatened to fire me the day before if I was 2 minutes late. the 2 women the owner & her assistant are the meanest people ever. They are nice to people’s face & disgusting behind their backs. Do not trust these people.
