- SRSteven ReynoldsonOct 17, 20255.0Both of our sons attended The Goddard School in St. Charles — starting as infants (just 3 months old) and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. The teachers and staff were amazing, caring, and truly helped our boys grow and learn in a fun, nurturing environment. We always felt confident they were in great hands, and when the time came, they were more than ready for school. Highly recommend Goddard to any family looking for a wonderful early child care experience!

- SRShreya RanpariyaJun 26, 20255.0We've have had an absolutely amazing experience at the Goddard School of St. Charles! From day one, the staff has been warm, caring, and genuinely invested in our son's development. The teachers created a nurturing and stimulating environment where our son thrived academically and socially. Communication was always clear and timely, and we felt like true partners in my son's early learning journey. The curriculum is thoroughly designed, and the classrooms are always clean, safe, and welcoming. It gave us great peace of mind knowing our son was in such capable hands everyday. We're so grateful for the positive foundation Goddard has helped build, and we highly recommend the school to any family looking for a high-quality early education program. I am very grateful for everything at the Goddard!
- SRSara RoseJun 25, 20255.0My little one has been making strides since entering the Goddard School. Previously went to an at home daycare provider for 3 years and LOVED them…so I was very nervous to put him into a preschool but knew it was time to expose to a more social and structured environment. So far (about 3 months) everyone has been kind and supportive - the teachers in the Apple Cottage room are SO SWEET! You can really tell they care about the children in the room. They post a few pictures daily in the portal and provide a summary sheet at the end of every day - which helps keep me informed, gives a glimpse into how the day is going, and some topics to talk about at home to reinforce the learnings. Very happy and highly recommend.
