- LHLisa Pauline HamerSep 30, 20255.0We have been at the Goddard School in Deerfield/Northbrook for four years and have been impressed with the curriculum, activities, parental communication and support, and warm environment for our kids. We have developed relationships with the other families and teachers, and are happy our kids are cared for in an environment where they are learning so much about themselves and their place in the community.
- MHMarwah HusseinAug 22, 20255.0My son spent four wonderful years at The Goddard School, and it was truly the best experience. He was more than prepared for kindergarten thanks to their well-rounded program. From playdates and special events to winter and spring concerts, every moment was meaningful. Their daily schedule includes music, Spanish, yoga, chess, and so much more—making learning exciting and fun. We are beyond grateful to the amazing teachers, caring staff, supportive administrators, and dedication owners. The Goddard School of Deerfield truly felt like a second family to us, and we couldn’t recommend it more highly.
- KAKevin AlsterdaAug 6, 20255.0The Goddard School has been wonderful. The staff is always kind and welcoming, and the teachers keep the kids busy with great activities. The app works perfectly, and we love getting photos throughout the day. Meals are provided, which makes mornings easier, and our child is always happy at drop-off and pick-up. Highly recommend!
