We had an amazing experience at The Goddard School of Fanwood-Scotch Plains. Our son attended from age 2.5 through the start of kindergarten and grew tremendously during that time. He learned so much, made wonderful friends, and entered kindergarten confident, social, and well-prepared.

The teachers are caring, the school is exceptionally well-run, and safety is always a top priority. We are incredibly grateful for the positive impact Goddard had on our son and would highly recommend it to any family looking for a nurturing, engaging, and high-quality early childhood education experience.

Our family is so thankful to have had Goddard recommended to us. We sent our two children there and it truly felt like a second home and family. The staff always made us feel confident and at ease which gave us piece of mind and communication was always open. The teachers were warm, patient, attentive and genuinely caring.
Goddard prepared our children to succeed both academically and socially elementary school and our children developed lasting friendships that they’ll carry forward to their next chapter. We’re very grateful to have been a part of the Goddard family and would recommend it anyone!
To the entire staff: thank you for everything you did for our family! You’ll always be remembered and we hope to see you around town!

My daughter attended The Goddard School of Fanwood for 5 years from 8 months old to 5 years old, and she had an amazing experience. We appreciated their robust curriculum. Not only do they teach the kids academics, but they also teach them how to be good friends and humans and to accept others in the world around them. The teachers are all nurturing and truly make a difference in the children's lives. Finding a daycare during Covid was scary, and we are forever grateful for our Goddard experience. We would recommend to any family looking for childcare.

Goddard has been our village in bringing up our 2 kids. The teachers right from the infant class all the way to getting them kindergarten ready are simply amazing. The cleanliness of the classrooms is very good and also the facility has always been up kept with the times. We as a family have spent a total of 6 years and I thank every single day of those 6 years.

The Goddard School in Fanwood is top tier. The building is clean and well kept. The staff is encouraging and supportive. Administration is always easy to reach and incredibly helpful to resolve any issues. The teachers are incredibly hard working and dedicated to the children in their care. My daughter started at 9 months old and is about to graduate! The friends she has made along the way are life long and the teachers have always treated her as if she was their own. It’s clear that creativity is encouraged for children and adults alike! We are SO grateful to all of the teachers she encountered and will be genuinely sad when she is officially done! Highly recommend this school!
