- DGDonna GengAug 9, 20255.0We’ve been at Goddard School for two years now, and I honestly think it’s the best choice we could have made. When we first moved here, my older daughter started at 2.5 years old and adjusted so well. The teachers are warm, friendly, and truly care about the kids. My girls have built such strong relationships with them. When my younger one turned two, I didn’t hesitate for a second to enroll her here too. The staff is stable, the school is clean and organized, and there’s always something fun happening throughout the year. Both of my kids have grown so much here, and we’re so grateful for this amazing community.
- MSMary SlenApr 25, 20255.0We switched to the Goddard School of Aurora South last year with hesitancy, after not being happy with two prior daycare centers and not knowing if we’d be happy with any daycare center. I am SO glad that we switched to Goddard and couldn’t be more pleased — I wish we had enrolled our kids here sooner! The front office staff is helpful, responsive, and always available (my daughter asked last week if they live at the school 😆). The teachers in the classroom are consistent and go above and beyond to create a nurturing, joyful, engaging, and safe environment for the kids. It’s clear they are passionate about what they do and our child’s development. In the past year, our daughter has started reading and writing and comes home every night eager to share about the activities they did and new things she’s learned. We are so grateful to have found such a wonderful daycare where our daughter is not only safe and cared for, but also thriving! We love the Goddard School and especially the amazing staff and owner!

In our preschool and pre-k classrooms, we add more school preparation and readiness by focusing on academic skills as well as interpersonal and collaboration skills. Teachers support children as they investigate the world around them. Children learn how to ask and answer questions, work with others, navigate social situations and understand and communicate their own thoughts and feelings.
Our teachers expertly create supportive classrooms for all children to safely learn and test new social, academic and physical skills throughout a typical routine that includes morning and afternoon snack time, lunch, naptime, exploration time, small and large group experiences and outdoor play.

In many states, children who are not vaccinated because of exemptions based on medical condition or sincerely held religious beliefs attend The Goddard Schools.

Please provide any necessary personal care supplies for your little one, such as diapers, wipes, a change of clothing and naptime bedding. For infants, please supply a crib sheet.
