The Goddard School

Reviews

  As I type this review of Goddard of North Brunswick I can't help but feel bittersweet. We have had a genuinely amazing experience with our daughter Dylan Harper who first attended Goddard on a part-time basis when she was about 1 year old. She is presently a little over 2 years old, attending full time and thriving. We just purchased our first home which is exciting but gut wrenching all at the same time as we have the grueling task of finding a new school closer to home. Let me first begin by saying not all Goddard Schools are created equal. Our initial and lasting impression with Goddard of North Brunswick has to be with the onsite owners Bruce and Lisa Goodarz. Mr. Bruce has a very hands-on approach with the parents, teachers and students. From our very first meeting with Mr. Bruce, he was very thorough with the School's safety measures, credibility and accountability of the teachers, curriculum and knowing all of the children by name (which is quite impressive). He was very patient and engaged in listening to our expectations as well as allying our concerns as being first time parents enrolling a child for the first time. Lisa is just the perfect compliment and solidifies that you are making the right decision. You are drawn immediately to her warm and nurturing nature. She is outgoing and charming and quickly puts you at ease as she shares her own experiences with being a mom and raising her boys. Being quite the story teller, anytime I spoke with her or saw another parent speaking with her...smiling and laughter were sure to follow. As I mentioned above, Dylan Harper has thrived under the care of her classroom teachers and assistants. Her vocabulary is strong, she is capable of saying short sentences and is familiar with her numbers and alphabet. She also is very nurturing and has a real sense to want to help...Which I am sure stems from not only what she is being taught but from the examples she sees in the classroom. We also love that many of the staff are young. It brings a youthful energy that she especially gravitates towards and thrives with. Finally, the school does a really good job with having special guests come to the school which is always fun and a nice surprise that breaks up the routine of things. We wholeheartedly recommend Goddard of North Brunswick. While we are saddened that we are moving on...We are truly grateful for the wonderful experience we had. Mr. and Mrs. Rios
