I cant say enough about this school! I can only speak for the infant program (I have twins) but they are amazing. It would be so easy to stick the babies in an enclosed area and let them play with toys until they get tired. But these teachers/leaders actually have these babies finger painting, coloring, using glue with goldfish crackers and paper (mine were only 7 months old then!). They take them on buggy rides in good weather or let them play outside, they sing to them, I mean its endless. I have made several unannounced visits to drop things off to my kids or to just check on them and every time no matter how hectic it may seem they always take time to update me or include me in whatever activities they had going on. I was concerned at first with the 1 to 4 ratio because I know how crazy it can be when Im alone with the twins but its not bad at all. These kids love interacting with each other and the teachers and all the toys around. I dont know how they do it but Ms. Annabelle (director) and the teachers in the infant room know ALL the kids names and all the parents names. I say that because they have multiple classrooms with a wide range of ages. They make it personal for everyone. I know someone mentioned that they felt the activities only last 30 minutes and thats it but if its true just try and put yourself in their shoes. There is usually an average of about 12-14 babies, not all of them are the same age, have the same feeding/sleep schedule or even interest level but at least they try to be very interactive with these young ones. Hands down Goddard is amazing!

The Goddard School in Westampton, NJ provides an outstanding preschool experience for my 4 year old son. He has been going there for a couple of years now. The owners, Wayne & Mary have developed an outstanding program focused on a comprehensive age-appropriate curriculum that includes language arts, math, creative art, fitness, manners, music, science, Spanish, sign-language, social science and more. Most importantly their philosophy is to promote learning through fun. The teachers are loving, highly qualified and they provide a warm learning environment for each student. My son actually looks forward to go to school every day. First five years are crucial in a childs development. At Goddard I definitely see continuous growth in his education and personality. I highly recommend this preschool for anyone interested in giving their child the best possible preschool experience.

Cant believe 1 complaint brought this schools rating down on Yelp and GreatSchools!!! This school is amazing. Both my kids go here and Im sad that it doesnt go past kindergarten. They have an amazing and caring staff. A great curriculum that is super well-rounded. They have the most opportunities Ive ever seen from an early childhood school such as being able to make their own snacks like jello and cornbread! They do music, art, yoga, waterplay, reading, math & science, computer time and more. There are guest speakers and cultural studies as well as ASL and spanish! Youre giving your kids the best by sending them here.

Absolutely love this school. My kids have been there for a year and a half and are thriving in their care. The owners Mary and Wayne are wonderful! The staff is amazing. I am so glad that my kids have the opportunity to begin life surrounded by people that care about them and make the time they spend there a rewarding, fun, exciting and wonderful experience!
