  Words cannot describe how thankful I am for Goddard. This was my first experience with daycare and I was so nervous. Steph and Melissa went above and beyond To give my baby one-on-one attention as she was adjusting to the classroom lifestyle. We were blessed with an amazing teacher, Miss Shannon. She called me every day to give me a wellness update on how my daughter was doing. Now, when I drop her off, she literally runs to Miss Shannon and hugs her leg and never looks back at me, Which makes me happy that she found a second home with Goddard. They have cute little events, like spirit weeks and book fairs. They also are big on gym time and going outside which we love. Healthy meals are served everyday and all is documented in the app. Another plus is they have great communication through the app and always post pictures. I’m really thankful that we trusted our gut with this team. They have been nothing but amazing to us. If you were looking for a daycare, I highly recommend Goddard. Ps - Miss Shannon is a saint and deserves all the kudos.

  As both a parent and an educator, I can confidently say this school goes above and beyond. They don’t just follow a curriculum - they truly see and respond to each child as an individual. The staff is incredibly intuitive and thoughtful in how they support not only students, but families as well. Ms. Nashondra, Ms. Shannon, and Ms. Alyssa have all made it clear that they care deeply about their students. The assistants consistently go the extra mile to create an environment where children are supported, understood, and valued. We have been so happy to find a school where every single person takes such a genuine, individualized approach.

  We’ve had such a wonderful experience at The Goddard School of Naperville. The teachers are warm, patient, and genuinely care about each child. The communication with parents is excellent — we always know what they’re learning and how they’re doing. The classrooms are clean, bright, and full of creative activities. The safety here is next level — from secure entry and check-in to the way the staff keeps such a close eye on the kids. It’s clear they take every precaution seriously, and that gives us so much peace of mind. We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend The Goddard School of Naperville to any parent looking for a safe and nurturing place to learn and play!

  We couldn’t be happier with the Decision to send our child here! With so many choices in the area, and many of them offering similaraties we believe we hit the jackpot with this school. The staff is incredible, the teachers are one of a kind and amazing with the kids, and the curriculum they have implemented has helped our child so much. I strongly recommend for any parents looking to at a minimum give them a look and walk through!

  This school is the ABSOLUTE best! The care of the staff from the owner to the directors to the teachers to the support staff, are hands down the most incredible group I’ve encountered. My 2 y/o son has been at this location since April. He was at a different Goddard in another state. We first made contact with this school in December, virtually. They were so accommodating since it would be awhile before we could meet them in person. The school allowed me tour both of their campuses and handle the onboarding documents virtually. Then, once my son arrived the staff warmly embraced him. They were SO patient and encouraging of him given the transition. When there is an issue with my son or is facing challenges, they are very communicative and always responding in a way that supports him and ensures consistent response, safety, and empowerment at home and school. The staff truly works with you to ensure the best for the kiddos. It’s easy to see that they all deeply care about the children. Teachers know all students even those who are not in their assigned class. You can easily walk down the hallway and the staff greets your child by name. Additionally, you get care/update calls at your determined frequency to learn of your child’s progress. Today, I received a call that wasn’t at my scheduled care call time to inform me that they noticed a difference in my son today. This immensely warmed my heart because it shows how attentive they are. They were right to notice the change as we’ve had a change in schedule, and our routine was altered. Additionally, I love the structure and curriculum. The teachers also will tweak activities to fit your child’s learning interest. I feel my son is learning a lot and a bit more advance than his peers outside of Goddard. Lastly, the school is very collaborative in its approach in caring for your child as much you like to be involved. The staff truly cares for their students—I can’t stress that enough. I have nothing but great things to say about the school, our family loves it!
