My daughter started going to the Goddard School when she was 2 years old and is now 5 yrs old…read moregetting ready to graduate from the Pre-K class. Being a first time mom and fairly new to the Randolph area, my husband and I researched and toured every single preschool. As soon as I entered the Goddard School, I knew it was the right place for my daughter. I was immediately drawn to their state of the art fingerprint security system along with an outstanding curriculum, generous classroom space and a safe and immaculate, age appropriate playground. The school is warm and inviting. The halls are decked out with artwork and pictures of the faculty and students. The classrooms are bright, spacious, cheery and filled with countless educational tools and areas designed for pretend play, fine motor skill activities, reading, writing and listening centers and individual cubbies for the children. My daughter loves going to school everyday and I have seen a vast improvement in her social skills as well as her speech and language skills. She excels in math and science and can even read thanks to "sight words." She has learned quite a few Spanish words and knows a ton of sign language. As she enters kindergarten in September, there's no doubt in my mind that she is much better off to have gone to the Goddard School. I have grown extremely fond of all her teachers over the past 3 years. They have all been beyond helpful, extremely caring, sincere, nurturing, loving and exemplify what teaching is all about. The director, Miss Leigh Ann, is absolutely incredible. The knowledge she has and the willingness to help in any and every situation goes above and beyond her job title. If I ever have a care or concern, Miss Leigh Ann always puts my mind at ease. She is a true gem! Miss Daniele, the assistant director, is exceptionally friendly, efficient and professional. I know I can go to her with any question and she will have a solution. The owners, Miss Anne, Mr. John and Mr. Jonathan are always welcoming and pleasant. I can always rely on a smile whenever I see them. They run a tight ship and it feels as though we are all a part of one big, happy family. If you're looking for a fun, educational, loving and safe place to send your child, the Goddard School is it!! Erica A. Randolph, NJ

Our daughter started Apple Randolph at age 2 and has spent the last 2 academic years plus summer…read morecamp here. Overall she has seen a lot of positive development both socially and academically. Her current teacher Ms. Parekh has done a great job stepping up to take over her class recently. One aspect of the curriculum we really like is the group classrooms ranging from ages 2-5, which gives the young ones an older partner to look up to and teaches the older kids how to care for and guide their younger peers. There are additional academic programs during the day you can add on, as well as after school extracurricular activities like music and various sports. It's also good to see an emphasis on allowing the kids to be physically active as much as possible during regular school hours. The community of parents we've met has also been great and our daughter has made many friends. We plan to start our son this summer. Yes, sometimes she falls or catches an illness at school... but it's mostly normal, unavoidable stuff. If there is a concern we've found the administration to be responsive. It's not cheap by any means, but a safe place where your little ones can progress their education as early as possible is absolutely worth it.

I can tell she genuinely cares about the family's needs and does her best to seek out the candidates that will be a great fit by doing her due diligence. I also appreciated that she is an advocate for us when it comes to finalizing contract terms to ensure both parties are happy. Lastly, I value that she is available at any time to answer our questions and goes above and beyond to check in on us to see if we are comfortable. I highly recommend the Nanny Smith!

Also I've seen bad reviews before on this over the years, including the one I placed while there. They somehow disappear.

Gottesman is truly a gem! Both of my boys are enrolled in their Early Childhood Center (ECC) and…read morethoroughly love it there. They individualize support based on each child's needs and communication is excellent! I get weekly newsletters from the teachers keeping me in the know with what is happening at school. Brightwheel and seesaw are two apps used by the ECC- both apps share videos, pictures, and notes to parents all day long. There's an option to add aftercare which is a necessity for working parents like me. The administration is excellent and very responsive, especially Dr. Cheryl Bahar! Every interaction with her has helped put me at ease and fall more in love with the school and how it functions. We love all the teachers, staff, and other families- it's really a special place. So special that my brother decided to send his four children to Gottesman as well. Now our children are getting this incredible experience of growing up going to the same amazing school with their cousins!

We applied here two times. I wanted a smaller, caring, community integrated with Jewish studies…read morefor my family. The first time we were told to come back to revisit the situation. My son was using a walker. I spent the next couple of years doing intensive physical therapy with my son. My son is now walking with braces and does not need a walker. We applied again. I gave the public school information to Dr. Behar. Before all the paperwork was given, and before all the letters from his previous teachers were given , a standard email rejection was delivered to me. What bothers me about this school is that they didn't even give him a chance or meet him. They don't take kids with special needs at this school.

My son was there for 4 months from 2.5 old, and he…read morecried every morning when we drop him off( he was in another DC for 1 year already, so I don't think it's bc he's new in school). I have asked him several times, all he could express by his age is that he is scared of the teacher who's name start with letter A. My husband also said he witnessed that the teacher was very rouge to the kids in the classroom. I was a bit concern but since we will be traveling soon so I didn't plan to switch to another school. 2 month later after I withdrew my son, he developed more speaking skills and he started telling me that the teacher was "corporal punishing" him just because he doesn't want to have nap, as a mom I believe you will share my angry when I hear it. He can describe all the details and he still has emotions when talks about that memory, I don't believe a 3 years kid has the ability to tell a lie even considering he is not even going there anymore. I tried communicating with the owner peacefully, and I do received a call right after I report this to them. They said they will do an investigation and call me back earlier next week, but 2 weeks after I don't hear anything from them. Then I called back, they are like, oh, I called you. But I have been waiting for the call and I don't see any missed call from the school. I don't feel any sorry from the call, and of course no apologies at all like the punishment is normal action to the kid. I don't know how much my son suffered from the 4 months experience with them and I don't know how deeply in his heart he's affected that will stop him loving to go to school. In addition, I was never a picky mom, I never required anything special to be done for my kid. I have no clue why my kid deserve this.
