The Goddard School Celebrates 20 Years in Hillsborough
The NAEYC and P21 Exemplar accredited early learning program opened in Hillsborough in March 1999 under the ownership of Susan Hoy
Susan Hoy opened the doors of The Goddard School in Hillsborough on March 1, 1999. Since then the accredited early childhood program has been an active piece of the central New Jersey community and a stepping stone to a love of lifelong learning for over 1,500 children ages 6 weeks through 6 years.
On Friday, March 1, 2019 the Goddard School community took the time to celebrate the milestone of 20 years of growing and learning together. Nearly 300 currently and former students with their families, teachers and representatives from The Goddard School corporate office located in King of Prussia came together to acknowledge the program founded by Mrs. Hoy two decades ago. The evening featured dinner, treats, music, photos, facepainting and a charity basket auction that raised more than $300 for local charity Steps Together.
