The Goddard School

We love the Goddard school! Great staff, caring teachers and phenomenal programming. While the cost is high, you do get a great school for your kids. We recommend this school to all of our friends/families/neighbors!

My husband and I can’t stress enough how wonderful this school and staff has been for our son. He started going there at 6 months and has thrived in learning, sign language, social skills and kindness. They truly treat your child like part of their own family and we always picked up a smiling face. We recently moved out of the area and switched schools and have been so unhappy decided to bring our little one back with a commute. Hands down the best experience all around for us as parents and the communication and for our little one. Not all Goddard's are made equal (we tried another) - early communication speaks miles to how your child will be treated. Thank you to your entire staff for everything you do every day.

Amazing teachers! My son is always happy to see his friends in the morning and love his little art projects he brings home.

Our son spent an awesome year at the Goddard School in Lake Forest. It was overall a fantastic experience, from the quality of teachers to the curriculum. There's great communication from the teachers everyday about our child's performance at school. Ms. Parina runs a great operation and is very approachable with any questions or concerns. Highly recommend this school if you are in the area.

Let me start by saying this School and their staff is just amazing. My husband and I searched for a daycare for our daughter for quite a while and were so relieved when we finally stepped foot into The Goddard School in Lake Forest. Every other place I visited with my big pregnant belly on my hunt to find a suitable daycare for my daughter seemed like a never ending line of people who didn't really seem to care - it was like pulling teeth to get any information from anyone at these places. I was starting to dread leaving my child at any of these places when I was going to have to return to work. But...enough about my struggle to find a suitable daycare because the day my neighbor recommended The Goddard School in Lake Forest, I literally drove there the same day to check it out. I walked in without an appointment and was instantly greeted by Julie (Assistant Director). Julie was...

We really like this school. Our child has grown and developed so much since she started here. Ms. Parina's dedication to making sure everyone is happy is so refreshing! You will not be disappointed.

Very professional

The Goddard School is a top notch option for working couples raising small children. Conveniently located in the growing neighborhood of Baker Ranch at Alton and 241. Staff members are warm and friendly from am to pm and are amazing at teaching a multitude of topics that engage our youngster. Having only opened in 2016 all equipment and educational material is fresh, new and cutting edge. We love daily communication through email that keeps us informed and provides topics for discussion on a nighty basis.
