We toured almost all the schools in our area when we began our search for childcare. We settled on the Goddard on Englishtown Road for several reasons, mainly because of excellent environment we found in this particular school. The school is spotless, the teachers, warm and caring. The owner, Patrice Peschel Keesser, is extremely involved in the day to day activities here and is always present. Parents receive constant updates on their children (including pictures sent throughout the day, in addition to a daily report that is emailed daily). We love the individual attention our son gets while he's in school. He loves his teachers and looks forward to being there everyday (and we in turn, never have any reservations about leaving our son in your care--and that's worth more than anything). read more

One of the best schools you can enroll your kid in!! It's a nut free facility The owner, director and all the staff are very caring, know each kid and parent by their names which says a whole lot on how important relationship is. Both my kids went here. My older one had health issues and they never made us feel even one day that it was an issue. They took such good care of him and attended to all his needs and we also enrolled our toddler there and he hated school. He would cry every day but the minute I left he had so much fun there and learnt a lot. We recently moved and the new school was surprised he knew so much. Seriously, One of the best schools in the neighborhood where they take care of kids like their own Their curriculum is really good and interesting read more

Goddard is a very organized school. The staff continually gives me updates on my children and notifies me if there is anything I need to be concerned with. Feedback as a parent is essential. The ongoing and open line of communication between myself as a parent and the staff at the school is equally important. Both of my children that attend are making social and academic progress. The school is well run and always clean. Everyone is friendly and it is a comforting environment. I feel 100% secure when my children are at Goddard and I am pleased that I chose this as their school. It is so important for children to start building a learning foundation at an early age. I have recommended this school to others and I will continue to do so. read more

I absolutely love this school! Since enrolling my son here over a year ago he has learned so much from his teachers and is so well taken care of. He gets up so excited to come to school and is sad to go home at the end of the day! His teachers as well as the office staff are always so caring and accommodating. Being a previous teacher of a preschool myself I found it challenging to find a school that was the right fit for my family but I knew as soon as I met the owner Danielle that I was going to love this facility. Danielle and the Directors greeted me at the door when I came in for my tour and blew me away with their clean facility and great teacher written curriculum. I highly recommend you enrolling your children here! read more

Not only were we placing our child in daycare for the first time, we had just moved from NY to NJ. It was a very difficult transition for our toddler. The teachers and staff at the Goddard School were great. They were, and continue to be, supportive and patient and with our little one, and with us. The school is very clean and they provide daily reports which keep us "in the loop." We even receive pictures sometimes during the day, which is always a wonderful surprise. Yes, there are less expensive schools in the area, but for all our child receives, for all the attention, for all the activities, the Goddard School Old Bridge is worth every penny! read more

I have had my son in this Goddard School since he was 4 months old. He is now 2 1/2 years old. I have always been very comfortable leaving him here. From the infant room to the room he is in currently, my husband and I have seen great advancement. In fact they teach him things that I wouldn't have thought to teach him but he gets it. All in all, they provide a fun loving, caring learning environment. As a special note, it is a very clean facility and my son has only gotten sick to the point of keeping him home once. read more

My son was basically non verbal when we started him there in April 2015. After just seven months, he has so much vocabulary and is almost caught up with his classmates. They are constantly engaging these kids all day in projects and games and this was the best decision we could have made for him. The teachers and administrative staff are all warm and caring and the school is really run very well. We are very happy with Goddard and will look forward to the years ahead we have with them. read more

We had a very positive experience at The Goddard School, Old Bridge II because the owners of the school take personal interest in making sure the school is managed at its best. Patrice takes personal interest in knowing kids and parents and is proactive in resolving any issues. Our kids enjoyed their early education career at this Goddard School and we would highly recommend this school to any family considering to enroll their kids. read more
