The Goddard School of Jersey City

The Goddard School of Jersey City

The Goddard School of Jersey City is a premier spot for early childhood learning. It serves more than 75,000 students from six weeks to six years old in more than 600 Goddard Schools in 37 states and Washington, D.C.

We believe that children learn best through experience. Our education philosophy is to provide current, academically endorsed methods to ensure that children have fun while learning the skills they need for long-term success in school and in life.

At Goddard Schools, we pride ourselves on providing excellent education and child development, which comes from our dedication to holistic development and academic preparation. We believe that every child is unique and should be treated with respect and compassion, and we strive to create a warm and welcoming learning environment that fosters a love of learning and a strong sense of community. We also believe that parental involvement is critical to a child’s success, and we encourage parents to be actively involved in their child’s education. But don’t just take our word for it, learn more about the Goddard experience with our family feedback to hear from our community.

The Goddard School’s educational program encourages children to explore their curiosities and interests as they discover the wonder of learning. Goddard teachers, acknowledged experts in various fields of early childhood education, guide children through lessons using fun learning experiences (F.L.EX.®) that lay the foundation for a lifelong love of learning.

Additionally, this program has earned Cognia Accreditation for creating policies, programs, and standards that help franchised locations meet high standards in early learning, child development, and childcare.

Inquiry-based curriculum

At The Goddard School of Jersey City, we’re dedicated to nurturing the extraordinary in every child. Our “Wonder of Learning” inquiry-based curriculum allows children to explore, develop meaning and understanding through play-based learning while participating in child-lead experiences that promote their curiosity and sense of wonder. Each lesson is fully customizable to your child’s unique interests. Our program meets children where they are developmentally and creates excitement as they focus on Literacy, Literature, Language acquisition, Math, Science, Technology, Art and Social Emotional development.

This summer, the children will explore the following essential questions in our Wonder of Learning curriculum, such as “How might we learn more about how to investigate,” and “How might we learn more about being a good citizen.”

Our summer camp fosters social-emotional development, builds confidence and independence, and promotes physical activity and healthy habits. Goddard’s Summer Camp helps children learn valuable life skills like teamwork, problem-solving, and communication in a supportive environment filled with fun and adventures. We are looking forward to being a part of your child’s summer journey. “Adventure Awaits You at The Goddard School of Jersey City!”
