BEST daycare bar none! Everyone there is so great and I’ve never once felt uneasy about leaving my 5 mo old there. The entire staff and the owner are beyond amazing.
Jenette FritzshallJun 16, 2026We were nervous to send our 3-month daughter to daycare but had no choice with work. She has since thrived in every category and is surrounded by people who genuinely love her. Our daughter is now 18-months and we cannot imagine trusting anywhere else with her well-being.
ChrisJan 2, 2026I can not brag enough about Goddard. The staff is absolutely amazing! Loving! Helpful! They truly care and put their heart into it. My daughter and family are moving closer to home but my heart absolutely breaks because my grandsons won’t be at Goddard. Does that explain how absolutely wonderful they are? !!!
Sherri SSep 12, 2025I’ve failed to post this in a timely manner, but a recent automated email prompted the review. My son spent a little over a year at the Goddard School in Arlington Heights. Much of the time there we were very grateful for. However this came to end abruptly when our 3 year old son came home with painted nails. This was disappointing at many level. First and foremost 3 year old children shouldn’t have access to nail polish at a school. Along with that comes the fact that boys don’t wear nail polish. Unfortunately our values were not aligned with the ownership and management at the Goddard school. When I asked if my son had been putting the nail polish on his face if the teachers would’ve stopped it they said yes. To me it’s the same difference, it’s wrong to put nail polish on your face, or on your nails if you’re a boy and that’s what we pay the adult in the room to enforce. While we loved Ms Bea it was clear our values and leaderships were very different regardless of what was told to us after the event. I gave the organization an opportunity to make things right as we parted ways and they failed to do so.
Michael JAug 31, 2025Wonderful, caring, and diverse staff and teachers. My kids can't wait to go to school in the morning. Every member of the team knows our kids... their likes and dislikes. They really practice what they preach when it comes to kindness and empathy. Also love how the staff approach their curriculum and how far they will go to ensure that the kids have a wide range of experiences throughout the year.
Srikar GuntakaAug 19, 2025We loved our time at the Goddard School of Arlington Heights! My son attended the pre-k program there and we had a wonderful experience. Ms. Su took over as owner about a year ago and has secured a great staff. She is onsite everyday and very involved with the kids and the program The directors are very responsive to calls and/or emails, always friendly and very organized. The program is a good balance of learning and fun. The summer program is like a camp and they even do field trips and have special events. We will be well prepared for Kindergarten because of our time at Goddard! My son has multiple food allergies and asthma and all concerns were addressed, safety was always a priority and I felt very confident in the staff's ability to handle any health issues. Highly recommend!
