Meet William owner

Hello! I’m Mr. Bill, the proud on-site owner and operator of The Goddard School in Ramsey since 2000—and now also in Paramus! As both an educator and a parent, I’m passionate about creating a nurturing, safe, and fun environment where children can thrive. With a Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering and as a proud father of two boys, I understand the importance of combining curiosity, creativity, and hands-on learning. That’s why I love being part of The Goddard School family, where children discover, grow, and develop through play-based learning every single day. I look forward to welcoming your family and helping your child build a strong foundation for a bright future!

What Our Goddard Village Is Saying

Everyone is so caring and makes dropping off Lucas everyday so easy to know he is in good hands.

LUCAS's Father

Twos Classroom

Having been at the daycare for one year The Goddard School in Ramsey is a night and day difference from where we previously sent our young ones and I say that in the best light possible. The teachers and staff make it a welcoming environment everyday and I could not be more happy to send our little one there.

Cameron 's Father

I have sent three kids to Goddard and have had an amazing experience. It truly feels like a second home.

Liam's Mother

Pre-K Classroom

We have been to three daycare facilities for our twins, and Goddard is by far the best, cleanest, friendliest and most professionally run daycare/school we have ever gone to. The staff goes above and beyond for every parent and child.

Evan & Carter's Mother

Preschool Classroom

The Goddard School is beyond school and has become a part of our family. The level of caring and education my children received while attending Goddard was beyond any expectation I had. I recommend Goddard with high regard to anyone who is looking for a day care/preschool. Its the best decision we ever made.
