The Goddard School of Fanwood (Scotch Plains) South Ave, Fanwood

The Goddard School was our second childcare facility, and my daughter spent three years in their program. As a recent graduate, her knowledge and awareness of the world around her was so impressive - the STEAM program really worked. My daughter loved the school, the teachers, and her fellow students. She (and I) will miss The Goddard School.

After almost 8 years at the Goddard School in Fanwood between two children, I couldnt be more happy with our experiences at the school. Every teacher we came across was better than the next, each and every year. The Goddard School prepared them for everything that they will encounter at public school, and more. When I returned to work after both of my maternity leaves and had to travel in to NYC for work, I knew that even though it was the hardest decision to make, it was the right one to leave them in the amazing care of the staff at the Goddard School. I highly recommend this school- your child will be in the most trusting, caring and nurturing environment in the area.

My daughter is only 15 months and I have noticed a difference since enrolling her at Goddard. She's been there for just a month now, and she's already learning more then she would have at another school. She is saying bigger words, started walking shortly after starting school, and is experimenting with creative art projects that other schools just don't do. In addition, the communication between the teachers, administrators and parents is very open. I never feel in the dark about anything, and can confidently say my daughter is in a safe, fun learning environment.

The Goddard school creates an intimate environment where kids feel safe to learn and play in a very organized curriculum. There is an overwhelming support system there for babies thru Kg. Besides the all important learning, growing and playing, Goddard teaches life skills, manners and patience, which leads to confidence and achievement. At a crowded birthday party, we had a good laugh when our "Goddard kids" politely (but with excitement) raised their hands when the entertainer asked a question to a bunch of boisterous kids. The teachers are excellent and it all happens in the classroom. So if it boils down to good teachers, Goddard-Fanwood has them.

We have put both our kids to Goddard School, in Fanwood NJ, because we we appealed by the curriculum and the values. It was even better than we expacted : kids learn a lot while having fun, the staff (admin, teachers) are great, hours and programs are flexible if needed. Highly recommended. Special mention to the Director of the school, Tricia, who is running the place like her own home

The Goddard School has been a nurturing and academically challenging environment for all 3 of my children. It’s everything you could want in a preschool and more. All of this wouldn’t be possible without the amazing staff and teachers who enriched our lives for the past 9 years!

I believe my son is safe and well cared for throughout the day; there is both an educational and a social component to the daily routine that I believe is necessary to a child's development that Goddard provides that other daycares in the area did not. In fact, we are planning on sending our youngest to Goddard as well in the coming year.

We are new to the Goddard School, but so far, we are seeing a lot of positive things! Our daughter comes home singing new songs, asks questions about days of the week and other things she is learning in school, and is happy and enthusiastic about going each morning.

I am very impressed by the warmth and connectedness of the teachers to the "friends." My son is being exposed to more activities, music, reading, etc., than I could ever provide him. It is also giving him a chance to learn to make friends and consider other people.

I'm very happy with the staff, cleanliness and the curriculum. It's a fun place for preschoolers. I believe the best way to learn is to have fun and kids always seem happy to be there, which is what it's all about.
