Goddard School

We could not be happier with our experience at The Goddard School in Burlington, NJ. My two-year-old has been attending since July 2025, and the difference has been truly amazing. Prior to coming here, she was enrolled in another well-known preschool, and unfortunately, it just wasn’t a great fit. She was constantly sick, communication was minimal, and we didn’t feel she was really learning or thriving. Since starting at Goddard, everything has changed for the better. She has learned so much in such a short time—her speech is noticeably clearer, and she’s more confident and engaged. The communication from the staff is excellent; we are kept informed and always feel connected to her day. The school is always spotless and welcoming—it consistently smells clean and fresh every time we walk in. One of the biggest differences for us is drop-off. She never cries when we bring her in, which speaks volumes. At her previous school, drop-offs were always difficult and emotional. Seeing her so comfortable, happy, and excited to be here reassures us daily that we made the right choice. All of the teachers and staff have been wonderful. A special thank you to Ms. Atiyah, Ms. Roshana, and the Owner Mrs. Pallavi, as well as the directors, and secretaries—everyone has been kind, attentive, and genuinely invested in the children. We are so grateful for this school and couldn’t recommend The Goddard School of Burlington more highly. We are beyond happy with our decision.

My son enjoys his time in his classroom! Goddard has always been the place I will keep returning to. Great staff and a very clean establishment! I recommend Goddard School of Burlington for the purpose of not having to worry about your child. The children are well cared for under the Goddard roof.

Our kids have been at Goddard for over three years, and we’ve experienced every class, from infants to toddlers to the oldest group. The staff have been wonderful to both our children and our family. We’ve watched our kids grow, learn, and thrive in a safe environment. The team has gone above and beyond to support our daughter’s medical needs, more than we could have asked or expected. Along the way, our children have built lasting friendships with classmates, and we’ve connected with many of their parents as well. We couldn’t imagine our kids attending any other daycare in the area.

It is an honor to write this review for the Goddard School of Burlington, New Jersey. I will start by saying that I am the grandmother of an almost 15 month old beautiful little girl. I have temporary custody of her. I don't live to far from the Goddard School and for many years I drove past there and didn't think that one day I would be part of the Goddard family because "I am a Mom-Mom"! My granddaughter started there on November 4, 2024; I had removed her from another daycare (which will remain nameless) where she was sick all of the time. Ever since she started attending the Goddard School, my little girl is the happiest baby that you will ever encounter. She walks in there with the biggest smile on her face, waving high to everyone, and anxious to get in her classroom (infant). My little girl has advanced so much, she is walking, she loves being read to (she loves books), she's learning Spanish words, Sign Language and she gets so excited when she sees her favorite teacher, Ms. Kimberly!! Lately, she has been attached to Ms. Pallavi, the owner. She's taken into the office just to hang out with them. Whenever you see a child in a daycare center so happy and close to the staff, you know without a doubt that your child is well taken care of. I look forward every single day to dropping off my little girl at the Goddard School...and she looks forward to it too. I highly recommend this school for your child! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

This Goddard School is more of a second family. We sent both of our boys here from 2021 to 2024, from ages one and three up through four and five. I cannot say enough good things about this place! The level of care for each child exceeded all my expectations. The teachers genuinely cared for my kids and helped them to learn and succeed in a fun and exciting way. I was particularly impressed with how the school handled behavior issues with my younger son, he had a very rough time and they worked with me and my husband as we worked to improve his behavior. I felt so supported and knew my son was seen for his big heart despite his behavior. Through the months of working with both a behavioral therapist and the school, we were able to turn his behavior around completely! The behavioral therapist even mentioned multiple times how she was impressed with the school's responsiveness and that she could talk directly to the teachers to discuss methods of behavior improvement. I recommend this to anyone looking for not just a daycare, but a loving place to raise a smart, intelligent child. The owner is fully invested in how well this place is run and is personally there almost daily. She cares about how the teachers and students are doing, and it really shows in the quality of care. Both of my boys loved going there every day and missed it when they went to their next schools. And both my boys were ahead in their new schools because of the amazing curriculum at Goddard. I miss going there every day to drop off and pick up my kids, being greeted by the front staff, and seeing the excitement as my kids would run to their classrooms. I will forever be thankful our family was blessed with having this place as a second home for our kids as they were growing up. THANK YOU GODDARD!!!
