The Goddard School of Paramus

My son started at Goddard when he was 2 and completed Pre-K and summer camp there. He just entered kindergarten. All of the teachers we've had at Goddard were truly WONDERFUL-- very caring and warm. They have amazing curriculum too, with a perfect balance between fun and learning. I am confident that my son was ready for kindergarten because of all of excellent education and interpersonal skills he'd learned at Goddard. The summer programs are so much fun too! The best part of Goddard is the people. The owners and admin team was very thoughtful and reliable. We will miss everyone!

My child spent 2 years at the Goddard and it was the best choice. As a mom, I know how challenging it can be to keep a toddler or young child focused for even a reasonable amount of time, so seeing the children actively participating and enjoying their class activities was very impressive. The teachers and staff are caring and supportive. They bring their own unique warmth and personality to the classroom. It is clear that the entire staff knows and cares about every child. The facility is clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully organized. I especially appreciate having an indoor gym for rainy days, as well as an outdoor playground for children to enjoy when the weather is nice. Parents are also kept well informed through monthly newsletters highlighting upcoming events, classroom activities, and important updates. Ms. Wendy, Mr. Thomas, Ms. YJ, and Ms. Rosemary have always been available to answer questions and address any concerns. I highly recommend thr Goddard to any parent looking for a nurturing, engaging, and high-quality preschool experience.

Best thing we did as parents was choosing the Goddard school.

We have been sending our children to The Goddard School in Paramus for the past four years, and we cannot say enough good things about it. Our son attended for two years, and our daughter is graduating this year. From day one, the teachers, director, and owners have been genuinely caring and consistently present for every child. The level of attention and warmth they bring is something you feel the moment you walk through the door. Both of our kids have grown tremendously, socially and academically, and we credit so much of that to Goddard's program and the educators who pour into these children every day. We would not think twice about sending our kids anywhere else. If you are looking for a school where your child will truly thrive, look no further than Goddard Paramus.

Our daughter has been attending Goddard for 3 years now and she just graduated today. Wendy/Bill/YJ/Rosemary team and all the teachers have been the best. They take so much time and effort to make sure each kid feels special and we are very happy with their curriculum. Our daughter has been learning new songs, gaining confidence, and started reading! It is bittersweet that she is leaving and going ahead to kindergarten. We are for sure bringing our 2nd child to Goddard when he is of age. Thank you for everything Goddard Paramus!!!

My daughter is in the PreK classroom and my family and I are happy with her learning skills. She comes home excited to explain to us what she did and learned. She is very eager and open minded to learning new knowledge that is given to her and puts it to practice.Her vocabulary expanded alot. She leaves every day happy and loves coming back to school the next day to learn and she gets excited to be with friends and teachers. Thank you to the teachers and admin who put in the work every day to make it a safe learning and educated environment for my child.

Our first child started at Goddard at the age of 5 months. Every teacher and assistant that she had treated with her great care and attention. My daughter excelled with social skills and her education. We had the same experience with our second child. The teachers show that they care about the children and their learning experiences. HIGHLY recommend Goddard of Paramus.

Our son has been going to The Goddard School of Paramus for a couple of years and we’ve been so happy with the experience there. I didn’t expect him to learn so much at a pre-k level but every week, he seems to be coming home with a new understanding of things like math, reading, vocabulary and art. And there’s nothing better than picking him up from school and he pleads for more time. The teachers and admin do a great job creating a healthy, happy and educational experience.

As a first time mom, it was important for me to find a place where I felt comfortable leaving my child for his first daycare experience. We chose this school based on reviews and recommendations, and so far they have exceeded our expectations. I really appreciate the clean and safe environment they provide. We love the experience their app provides as well. We often sign in and check the status of our child’s day, while simultaneously following along with the lessons he will be learning for the day. A big thank you to the teachers and staff for being patient and nuturing with our son.

We have had an excellent experience with the Goddard school of Paramus. From the moment of enrollment, our children were kept safe, happy, while learning. The staff and teachers are dedicated, caring and professional. The facility is spotless. We are so happy we picked this school! A big shout out to all the teachers they are wonderful - my daughter had Ms. Stacey, My Wendy wonderful teachers! The best year so far!
