The Goddard School of Newark

"Goddard in Newark is the perfect balance of school and family. The staff members genuinely care for children and become an extension of the family. My oldest started with Goddard at only three months. As a first time mom, sending my baby to school was terrifying, but the staff at Goddard put me at ease. The classrooms follow procedure, schedules and curriculum for even the youngest learners. More than that though, they took the time to build a relationship with my son and my family. We receive daily communication including pictures and updates throughout the day. After COVID hit, we kept my son out of daycare for 8 months, upon his return, Goddard went above the call of duty to support a smooth transition back to school. Now, my younger son is part of the Goddard family too. Once again, the team has embraced my baby and worked with me to support his school experience. Goddard is kid centered and it shows. Both my boys are happy and excited to go to school each day. This speaks volumes of the love and care they receive at Goddard."

"The benefits of the Goddard “umbrella” and curriculum PLUS owners and teachers who treat everyone like family. As a parent dropping your kids off at school, you want to know that they are being encouraged to thrive developmentally while also being nurtured emotionally. The Goddard School in Newark checks all of the boxes."

"Very happy with the quality of care my children have received at The Goddard School in Newark. From newborn to pre-k, my 3 children have thrived in the nurturing environment with an excellent staff that feels like family. Would highly recommend this school to anyone looking for kind, compassionate owners, administrators and teachers and an overall safe and inclusive environment for learning in all stages of development."

"I want to give high praise to this amazing daycare and school. Finding a childcare provider for my first and only child was a huge challenge for my family. In tours I never really felt comfortable anywhere except the Goddard sites. My last and favorite tour was the Goddard School in Newark. My daughter has been off and on there for about a year now and I have seen such a difference in her development compared to a trial run we did at a different poorly run "brand name" center. I understand that each Goddard is independently owned and franchised so my experience may have been different at another Goddard location. However, this center at Newark really has their act together. I have never seen a daycare so clean, organized and with such loving and genuinely caring teachers and staff. When I was having problems with a different daycare and made the switch due to financial reasons, Cindy welcomed my child back without hesitation or waiting and told us we were already family here. They are very good at working with familys lifestyle and budget. They are fantastic at communicating. I 100% feel that my child is safe and loved here. She is a thriving toddler and I want to give a huge thanks to Goddard School of Newark for help shape my daughter into a spunky fun and confident little girl. The best decision you can make is to trust these fabulous educators with your own child. -Steph G. Mom of a 2 year old and FT Nurse"

"Goddard is a surprise to say the least. When we started at a large daycare center we expected a much more impersonal environment. However, this wonderful school has a very well-developed curriculum and provides children with great learning opportunities, while at the same time providing the level of attention and care of an in-home daycare program. All of the teachers develop close bonds with the children, and as a parent you feel "part of the family." We've always felt that we can come to them with any question or concern, no matter how small, and it's always treated with the utmost importance."
