PARSIPPANY — For many families, early childhood education is about trust, care, and the kind of nurturing environment that sets the foundation for a lifetime of learning. For the new owners of The Goddard School in Parsippany, that mission is deeply personal—and powered by their own experience as parents.
With two young children enrolled at the school—an 18-month-old and a four-year-old—the owners bring a parent’s eye to every decision. “Our biggest motivation was our own children,” they shared. “We wanted to create the kind of school we would want for them: safe, warm, and truly focused on helping each child grow.”
Taking over The Goddard School of Parsippany, located at 311 Smith Rd, wasn’t just a business opportunity—it was a heartfelt commitment to their community. Since stepping into leadership, they’ve embarked on a full-scale transformation of the space. From newly renovated classrooms and upgraded flooring to a secure access control system and advanced surveillance, safety and quality have been top priorities.
They’ve also embraced innovation, integrating smart boards in classrooms to foster interactive learning. The Kaymbu platform now provides parents with daily digital updates and photos, creating a transparent and connected school experience.
The school’s leadership has also prioritized professional development for educators, emphasizing classroom consistency, strong transitions, and meaningful communication with families.
Looking ahead, the owners envision steady growth while preserving the school’s hallmark of personalized attention. “We’re working to make The Goddard School of Parsippany a model early childhood center—one that’s warm, inclusive, and always focused on what’s best for the children,” they explained.
What truly sets this Goddard School apart is its blend of a well-rounded curriculum, passionate teaching staff, and a family-first philosophy. “We’re creating a consistent, loving environment where children feel secure and inspired to learn,” they said. “And we believe our focus on emotional development alongside academics helps children thrive far beyond their early years.”
The response from the Parsippany community has been overwhelmingly positive. Local leaders, families, and businesses have extended a warm welcome. “Parents are excited by the changes they’re seeing,” they added. “It’s incredibly rewarding to build a school community that we’re part of as both parents and owners.”
To Parsippany families, the message is simple: “Thank you. Your trust means the world to us. We’re honored to be a part of your children’s journey and committed to offering the safe, nurturing, and high-quality education they deserve.”
