We came to the Goddard School in late October of 2025 and were a bit nervous. We'd come from another school that we thought was a right fit, but for safety concerns, we left. Therefore, needless to say, we were gun shy about finding a new daycare for our child. However, the moment we met Ms. Hamani it was like that fear was quelled. We immediately felt a sense of care, safety, and compassion that nearly all other schools we were looking for were lacking. We were immediately invited to join the school for a Halloween celebration so we can get the feel of the environment. The instant sense of connection, community, and love that Ms. Vanessa, Ms. Hamani and all the teachers there have for their jobs were palpable. Since we've joined the school, I have seen my child grow in their capabilities and emotions. They are excited to attend school and will even remark how they miss their teachers and friends. I am beyond grateful to have found the Somerset Goddard School. I can truly say I feel like I can breathe a sigh of relief, knowing my child is in good hands. I high recommend this school. They are wonderful with communication, support, and flexibility. It really is another family!
I’m not someone who leaves a review without knowing the true value of it because I believe my words might help other parents who are looking for the right place for their child. We visited more than 10 schools before choosing The Goddard School, and our intuition told us to choose this one we’re so grateful we followed it. Some schools look great on paper, but once you actually join, they’re not what they promised to be. That wasn’t the case with Goddard. As time went on, they truly proved their worth like old rice. The older it gets, the better it becomes. The environment here is warm and friendly, and almost all the teachers are excellent at what they do. The place is always spotless, clean, dust-free, and well maintained. Our daughter has been attending for the past two years, and there hasn’t been a single day where we’ve lost trust in them. They genuinely listen to parent's concerns and act on them promptly. Even during small incidents, like a bathroom situation, they handle everything calmly and professionally without disturbing the parents, which is a huge relief. I’ve heard of other places where parents are called immediately and have to rush in, but not here. A special mention to the owner, Ms. Vanessa. She is truly remarkable, she listens, she cares, and she always ensures the best for every child and parent. She even responds while traveling and never says no to any reasonable request. Her kindness truly speaks through her eyes. And today, something truly touched my heart, the owner, Ms. Vanessa personally helped me with my car issue. She didn’t have to, but when I asked for help once, she came right away and did it with a smile. Who does that these days? It was such a beautiful gesture that speaks volumes about her kindness. May God bless her because without a good leader, many schools lose their way, but this one thrives under her guidance. This is a genuine review from our experience. For anyone having second thoughts, go ahead and enroll your child. You won’t regret it. A happy and grateful parent.
In my View the #1 DayCare and Pre-School in Somerset NJ! Ms. Vanessa and Ms. Himani run an amazing show! The kids are weel taken care of and the Parent Activities are unlike anything I have seen. My kid has been there for 2 years. A year ago, i had a chance to move my child to my older kids' school but my wife and I kept her at Goddard Somerset because we loved what the Team at Goddard Somerset brought to the table! A very caring, qualified and attentive staff with a Curriculum that has bought the best out of my child. The parent portal is very easy to navigate and there is always updates and agenda's shared. The Pickup and Drop off is so enjoyable and organized. Every morning my kid waits to wake up and run to Goddard Somerset. The Parent Activities and food is next level. At Somerset Goddard we feel like we belong too beyond our child's experience and growth. Thank you to all the staff and Management for a Job well-done!
Simply the best! We transferred schools about a year ago and the difference has been incredible! We have a 2 year old now, and he is loved along with all the other kids in the program. The teachers are warm, caring and extremely thoughtful. Beyond that they also provide very strong educational foundations for the kids. The new owners are constantly trying to think of fun ways to engage the families inside and outside the school times. Pics attached are from this year's Fall Festival! Prices are extremely competitive, especially considering the above and beyond quality you are receiving here.
As a new mom, I was very nervous to send my son to daycare. When we met the staff at this location, my fears immediately disappeared . Everyone and I mean, everyone, including the owner takes time to get to know each child by name. The teachers in the infant classroom are phenomenal and include my son in all activities despite him being significantly younger than the rest of the group. The communication with parents is also amazing. We receive updates throughout the day and also talk to the teachers during drop off and pick up. We’ve also spoken with other parents, and they are thrilled to have their children in this program. compared to children not in daycare their children are very advanced and I’m excited for my son to be there as well! Today officially marks my son‘s first week at daycare and I couldn’t be happier!
