The Goddard School

We have been part of this daycare family since my daughter was just 3 months old, and now, at 4 years old, I truly can’t imagine a better place for her to have grown up. Watching her develop here over the years has been amazing! The teachers and director are incredibly caring, patient, and genuinely invested in each child. They’ve helped shape my daughter into a confident, kind, curious little human, and I’m so grateful for the love, structure, and encouragement they give her every day. Communication has always been excellent, the environment is warm and safe, and it’s clear how much thought goes into both learning and play. Trusting someone with your child is the hardest thing, and from day one, I’ve always felt confident knowing she was in the best hands. We are beyond thankful for the years, memories. So happy we chose The Goddard school of Oldbridge/ Matawan!

My son started at Goddard when he was just 6 months old — he’s now 11 months and absolutely loves going to school every day. He never cries at drop-off, which is such a huge relief and a sign that we found the perfect daycare for my sweet boy. From day one, the teachers have been so loving, patient, and attentive. He adores all his teachers & classmates, and it's clear that he enjoys the fun, engaging activities they do throughout the day with all the pictures that they send! If you’re searching for a safe, nurturing, & happy environment for your child, I recommend Goddard. Ms. Ro, the director, goes above and beyond to make sure every child is well taken care of, safe, & most importantly — happy! ☺️

I have 2 children here. My daughter is almost 4-she has been here since she was 9/10 months old. We have very hectic schedules and the Goddard school has been the best fit for our family. They have gone above and beyond to help us with our children-be it an extra snack in the evening or providing insight or ideas on how to teach them and manage behavioral changes. The children are engaged most of the day with activities. For example; music teacher comes and sings, special guests, fun food Friday, yoga, etc… Soccer Shots and Gymnastics come to the school so parents can ease their schedules. My children love it’! The director has worked with me regarding my son’s allergies. Just recently she asked the school’s lunch provider to make and label the lunches my son can eat! It’s been a life saver. Miss Ro and the teachers have been like second family to us! As I said before THEY GO ABOVE AND BEYOND!

We’ve been a proud Goddard family since 2022, and we couldn’t be happier with the care our children have received. From the director to the teachers, every single person has gone above and beyond to make us feel supported and confident in our choice. My son requires a bit more hands-on attention, and the team has always been so patient, understanding, and capable. Knowing he’s in such good hands makes my time away from them so much easier. We will truly be sad to leave after kindergarten, but forever grateful for the love and dedication shown to our family!

I put my daughter in Goddard at this location in Nov 2024 at 26 months old. Besides the usual separation anxiety in those first few weeks, my daughter loved coming to school here and always walked in and out with a smile on her face. I always felt so comfortable and at ease while my daughter was in their care, and the constant pictures notifications definitely helped. I also especially loved having outside vendors such as Soccer Shots and Monmouth Gymnastics come on as add on activities. The director, Miss Roe, always was available for me anytime I had any questions as well as always supportive to me and my daughter. I loved our time here at Goddard and definitely would recommend this location to those seeking a nurturing and learning environment!
