Welcome to Our School

The Goddard School of Parsippany is a warm and nurturing space where extraordinary awaits your child each and every day.

We welcome infants through Pre-Kindergarten and are open year-round from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., with no major school breaks. Our program features a Reggio Emilia-inspired curriculum called the Wonder of Learning, along with a distinctive Social Emotional Curriculum known as the Life Lesson Library, designed for all age groups. Each day, children engage in learning English, and Spanish and we provide nutritious snacks and organic foods.
