Absolutely a blessing to have found this school. Great staff, teachers and does wonders for my 2 year old. Wish this school goes past kindergarten because I would love to stay with this kind of program.

The decision to choose a day care for your child is one of the most important decisions you'll ever make. We made the right decision with Goddard. We have been there for 4 years now and they have become like family.Stefanie, Kayleigh and Nadines communication is fabulous and they are always there to help with any questions you may have.The teachers are wonderful and loving. I will forever recommend them.Thank you Goddard for all you do!

The Goddard School of Tinton Falls has always been a part of my life, first as a student in 1999, then as a teacher since 2013, and now as a parent since 2022. I took a break from teaching to pursue different endeavors and when I had my daughter in 2021 it was important for me and my husband to always make sure she was well taken care of.After a rough and unpleasant experience at another daycare, (not a Goddard) where the class sizes were too big for the baby rooms, improper diaper changes, and their policies I disagreed with, I knew I had to make a change because my daughter and I were not happy.In October of 2022 Goddard welcomed me back with open arms and my daughter finally felt relief. At the original daycare my daughter was always overwhelmed and would cry all day so much that nothing made her calm. I was apprehensive because at the time she was 15 months and she still wasn’t walking.We made a slow and gradual transition into Goddard and it was the best decision. My daughter took her first steps in the pumpkin room and she loves coming to school and seeing her friends. She is now a thriving 2 year old and we feel like it’s our second home here!

Teachers and staff go above and beyond to provide educational and fun opportunities for children. My infant is so well cared for in the baby room and is excited to see his teachers everyday. The front office staff are extremely helpful and always have answers to any questions I may have. Everyone is friendly and the school is exceptionally clean. Overall, I’d recommend Goddard of Tinton Falls to anyone with young children!

The Goddard School of Tinton Falls is a wonderful daycare and I feel lucky that my children attend. It is so much more than just a daycare; it is a school where the children are genuinely cared for and learn new academic, social and emotional skills each day. The Goddard School of Tinton Falls provides ample opportunities for children to feel enriched through their curriculum. They even host sports activities and special interactive music event shows throughout the year. They also have a summer camp with special activities!The teachers engage with the children, send daily pictures and reports home and are communicative with parents. The staff know both of my children and we are not just a number within a school building. When your children want to stay longer after a full day, you know they must be doing something right! We leave for work each day with a clear mind and know they are in great hands! The school is clean and they do all they can to keep children, staff and families safe and healthy.We are so grateful for them! Highly recommend The Goddard School of Tinton Falls! (Parent of Toddler and Kindergartener who both began in the infant room).

We have had the privilege of having our daughter who is two attend Goddard school since late June 2022. She had never attended school before this and the amazing teachers and staff at Goddard of tinton falls allowed us to feel safe and secure knowing our child was learning, growing and having lots of fun while attending school. The teachers are excellent and truly care about each child. The owner Adam is so kind and attentive to any needs we have had. We highly recommend sending your child to Goddard of tinton falls.

We have been part of the Goddard School of Tinton Falls family for seven years. They are kind, compassionate and so helpful. Our kids have loved their experiences and their teachers. Things may look a little different now with Covid-19, but the care has not changed. The school has not missed a beat and the children have taken to the new protocols including smaller class and mask wearing with ease. We will be very sad when our time comes to leave The Goddard School.

My two children have been attending The Goddard school in Tinton Falls for almost 4 years. We could not be happier with the experience. The staff is extremely caring. I often get the sense they care for my kids as well as they would their own. I could not imagine a better day care experience.

We have our two sons currently enrolled at Goddard, with our oldest son finishing out this summer before entering kindergarten. My husband and I have LOVED Goddard!! It says something when you find your husband bragging about how amazing Goddard has been. We always seem to find ourselves talking about how much our kids are learning and how happy we have been. We even had friends we met at another daycare move their kids over to Goddard when they had openings because of how much we talked about it. This is by far the best daycare in the area…and we should know considering we have been enrolled in other daycares in the area. As soon as we were able to get both of our sons at Goddard, we jumped on it after hearing how please neighbors and other people we met were. The only reason we did not initially enroll at Goddard was because of the long waiting list at the time we were pregnant with our first son. The reason we got in was because my neighbors had mentioned that they usually had openings in the summer. So, we enrolled, and they were able to fit us in to stay full time.After five years with children in daycare I have learned what is truly important in a daycare. I have found that it is the staff and the owner that makes this such a great place for my children. First off, something you need to consider when looking for a daycare is the retention of the staff/teachers. Goddard always had longstanding teachers which were amazing. At other daycares in the area that we attended there was VERY HIGH turnover. At any daycare there is turnover, but too much turnover and no consistent staff should be a red flag. With each new class my children transitioned within Goddard there was always a teacher that had been at Goddard for a long time and understood the needs of that particular age group. In every class the teachers had experience with the age group they were working with and understood the needs specific to that age group. I used to be sad leaving a class for a new class because with each class I loved the teachers. At previous daycares I could tell how uninterested the teachers/staff were to be there and begged to have my children move classes in hopes of a better teacher or experience for my child. I remember at one point being so upset at work and deciding to get a nanny…then we got into Goddard.I know there are other daycares in the area that have these new facilities that look amazing. We tried one of them but quickly learned that you can have the nicest accommodations but that does not mean your children are necessarily getting the best experience or are being treated very well. The curriculum at Goddard was amazing and we saw it from the very first week we sent our children there. For the first time they were excited to share things they learned. The videos sent from the school each day showed now much hands on learning that was being facilitated. I would get a video of my child working one on one with the teacher multiple times per week if not every day. We also received progress reports on a regular basis from the teachers. They shared any concerns they had with us and we were able to share our concerns with the teachers. They always tried to work with us and our children. My youngest son was identifying letters way before my older son and i think it was the curriculum and the way the teachers were presenting it. Also, the owner is very involved with the kids, parents, and staff. He knows all the kids and the parents. Him and his directors make drop off and pick up so easy. But especially drop off given that can always be difficult for any parent.I felt i should write a review given my difficult time with finding a perfect fit for my family. Childcare is expensive, but when you are at the right place and have peace of mind every day, its worth every penny to know your kids are in amazing hands.

My daughter loves the Goddard School. She enjoys going to school each day and has learned so much. I know that when I drop her off, my girl is safe, cared for, and experiencing the best education Goddard offers. The teachers and staff are dedicated. My husband and I look forward to seeing our daughter’s daily photos and activities. The Goddard School at Tinton Falls ensures safety for all during this pandemic and it is greatly appreciated. I highly recommend early childhood education here.

Goddard of Tinton Falls was an absolutely amazing experience for my son. They have created a true family environment of kindness & compassion. Through the pandemic, the entire staff kept us informed, while caring for the children like their own. The curriculum was top notch, and my son was reading books at the age of 4.I would also like to note that the community of parents was like nothing i could have imagined! Not only has my son created lifetime friends, but I have as well! I will forever be grateful for this incredible experience

Our daughter was in the infant room from 3 months. No parents wants to leave them this young but sometimes you just have to. We could not be more grateful!We only left due to a move- they were wonderful.Great teachers- all cared about our daughter and showed it so amazingly. We loved our primary teacher and we were so very lucky to even have another babysit regularly for us- she was truly amazing! We were so sad to leave !Great owners and front staff as well!.... we loved everyone and miss them and would highly recommend them
