Welcome to Our School

The Goddard School of Jersey City (The Waterfront) is a warm and nurturing space where extraordinary awaits your child each and every day.

At The Goddard School, we offer a Reggio-Emilia inspired, trilingual curriculum where children ages 0-5 learn in an immersive environment with English, Spanish, and Mandarin. Our programs foster creativity, communication, and curiosity in a safe, nurturing space. We’re open 12 months a year, from 7 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., and all enrichments—including organic snacks—are included in tuition. With two outdoor playgrounds and a focus on lifelong learning, we’re here to help your child thrive.
