The Goddard School
Preschool in Princeton, NJ 08540
Welcome to The Goddard School located in The Princeton Commerce Center on Emmons Drive in Princeton, New Jersey. Our state-of-the-art School was designed specifically for children between the ages of six weeks and six years old. In addition to our standard program, we also offer before and after-school enrichment and a summer “camp” program for children up to ten years of age.
The Goddard School program will make a positive difference in your child’s life. Our warm and loving atmosphere, combined with Goddard’s curriculum, is brought to life by our faculty of experienced full-time teachers. Our program is designed to enhance the emotional, social, intellectual and physical development of your child. We believe preschool should be both a fun and educational experience, and that our biggest responsibility is to instill a lifelong love of learning in each child that attends our School!
Our year round extended day program runs from 7 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. We offer two, three, four and five day a week programs for either a half or full day. In addition to our standard curriculum, we incorporate the following programs into each day’s activities at no additional cost:
Sign Language
Spanish
Fitness
Nutrition
Manners
Art History for Children
Yoga
World Cultures
Sports Mix
Everything that happens during your child’s day is specifically communicated to you via our personalized Daily Activity Report. The Daily Activity Report allows you to understand the activities your child participates in, so that you can discuss the day at School with your child. The activities on the Daily Activity Report reflect the daily lesson plans, which our teachers write based on the development of the children in their classroom. Children are encouraged to progress at their own pace according to their individual needs and abilities.
Our School has been designed to provide a safe, healthy and stimulating environment. Our classrooms are spacious and bright, and we have two separate playgrounds totaling over 8,000 square feet that have been designed to challenge and delight children of any age. We have recently expanded the School to include a 600 square foot indoor “gym” complete with 10 foot high ceilings, a rubberized safety floor and a 20 foot long rock climbing wall.
