At The Goddard School located in Bloomingdale, we're more than just a daycare. The Goddard School is a private preschool, offering childcare to infants and toddlers to pre-k. Our programs are designed to nurture each child's curiosity in a safe and caring environment.
We absolutely love Goddard! From day one, the teachers and staff have made us feel welcomed, supported, and confident in the care she’s receiving. The environment is nurturing and full of positive energy, and the level of communication with families is fantastic.
Our daughter has grown so much—socially, emotionally, and especially intellectually. She’s incredibly curious and bright, and we truly believe that’s a direct result of the education and personalized attention she receives every day. The curriculum is thoughtful and age-appropriate, and it's clear the staff truly care about each child's development.
We’re so grateful to be part of a community that prioritizes both care and learning in such a meaningful way. Highly recommend!
