Our youngest began his very first preschool experience at Goddard, and it has been such a wonderful start to his school life. He has grown so much here, learning routines, how to take turns, and how to simply enjoy being a child with his peers. Although he didn’t want to leave Goddard of Englewood Cliffs, our family’s move made it necessary. Still, the memories he made here will stay with him forever. He often talks about how much he enjoyed his time and especially how much he loved Ms. Kalemy. Her kindness, patience, and enthusiasm made such a lasting impression, he still says how awesome she was with him. We are truly grateful for the nurturing environment at Goddard and for teachers like Ms. Kalemy who make such a difference in a child’s early years.

I see my son thriving with the Goddard school program. He is in a safe friendly nurturing and educational environment. Each day is a different experience for him and I can attest of his happiness in seeing his school friends and the growth in his home environment

Great school with amazing teachers and Director. We started to send our son when he was 3 and stayed until pre-k. They do a wonderful job building routines, letting the kids be creative, and preparing them for kindergarten. Our son left starting to read, loving his teacher and group of friends, and loving books, drawing, science, and dancing. Thank you Goddard!

I can't say enough about the Goddard School. My Child has learned so much under their curriculum. There is a great deal of structure for all the kids. All the teachers provide great care with a very welcoming and nurturing environment. The level of communication from all members of staff is amazing. Thank you Goddard teachers and staff for all you do!

I wish I could give 0 stars, but it's not an option. I am sickened to see a woman running a child care center who is so business focused. It is not about quality at this school and quantity instead. Some teachers have stayed, about 3 but the rest leave and I have met so many of them. I care about the people who I leave my children because that's more telling than what I see for the five minutes tops I am in there. You can not believe that fake smile on Stephanie. Teachers come here because they love to work with our kids, but people like Stephanie, Kate, and Zarife make it hard for them to stay. I have seen them berating teachers there in front of children. That is unethical and not the environment I want my kids in. It is damaging and unhealthy for everyone involved. People there need a lesson on how to handle themselves appropriately. I have heard from teachers that it is unsanitary, unsafe, and not upholding the needs of our children. This is to warn parents and inspire a change.
