- PRPaulina R6 days ago5.0Great school!! My son loves coming to school. They do so many activities and have an app that sends out pictures of things they did that day:)) This school also has SO MANY family events which is amazing:)
- CRCary RhodesNov 14, 20251.0We are extremely disappointed with the service we received from Laura. She was unexpectedly rude throughout our interaction and hung up on us multiple times without explanation. Her behavior was unprofessional and made an already frustrating situation significantly worse. We hope this issue is addressed promptly, as no one should be treated this way. If this is how administrators act imagine how they run their school.
- JPJennifer PaganNov 12, 20255.0We’ve had such a positive experience with the Goddard School of Naperville. The teachers and staff are incredibly kind and genuinely invested in the well-being and growth of the children. I’m glad we found this location.
- MRMiranda RicherNov 12, 20255.0We couldn’t be happier with our experience at The Goddard School! The teachers and staff are truly amazing—compassionate, attentive, and deeply committed to each child’s growth. The environment is nurturing and inspiring, and it’s clear that the children thrive here both academically and socially. Our child has blossomed in confidence, curiosity, and creativity thanks to the thoughtful curriculum and the loving support of the entire team. Highly recommend to any parent seeking a place where their little one will be genuinely cared for and encouraged to shine!
- VRveda ramkiOct 24, 20255.0We love Laura and Vanessa for being the most awesome directors at Goddard. They handle all requests very well and always available to communicate anything important when it comes to our kids. We also love Ms Z and Katie who have so much warmth in their hearts when welcoming our kids into their class every single morning. Ms Z’s energy and positivity is what every kid will want to experience at their daycare and so glad my daughters are in such great hands. I also want to mention the kindness of Ms Sheeba who I see as a sub- teacher on certain occasions. She is such a wonderful and caring soul. Overall I am so happy with Laura and their team and love that my kids go to Goddard. You guys are the best!!
