The Goddard School

Our 2 kids spent a good amount of their 2-3 years at Goddard and we are so grateful that time. All the love and support from teachers and community was important for them. There they learned social skills, how to be kind and curious. Highly recommended.

The experience of sending my daughter to Goddard was like having another whole parent around to help us. Their attentiveness and care to every developmental phase of our child’s life from tummy time to build her core when she was 6 weeks old all the way to her advanced reading skills when she was 6 years old and graduated kindergarten. They spoil you and your family with awesome pictures and curriculums on this amazing app and you meet great parent and have tons of play dates and you get to act like you did all of that for your amazing child (because you did when you drop them off at Goddard school in Lincoln Park!)

We’ve had a fantastic experience at The Goddard School in Lincoln Park. The teachers are warm, attentive, and truly invested in the kids’ development. Social and academic excellence, at the earliest of stages. The communication with parents is excellent, and the facility is always clean and welcoming. Highly recommend to any family looking for a nurturing, structured early education environment.

Our son spent a little over a year at the Goddard school and recently left because we moved. He had a great experience at Goddard and the staff was always super friendly, helpful and accommodating. This was his first time attending school and they made him (and us!) feel so comfortable. Every teacher he had cared for him very well and always provided us with great updates. He learned a lot too! We would highly recommend!

I can't express enough how grateful I am for the amazing care my two children receive at Goddard in Lincoln Park for the last four years. From the moment we first walked through the doors, we felt welcomed and confident in their ability to provide a safe, nurturing, and educational environment.

The staff is truly exceptional – warm, attentive, and deeply caring. It's clear that they treat every child like their own, and I appreciate how they take the time to get to know each child’s unique needs and personality. My kids are excited every morning to go, and it’s a joy to see how much they’ve learned and grown under their care.

What stands out the most is the balance they strike between play and learning. The curriculum is both engaging and developmentally appropriate, fostering creativity, critical thinking, and social skills. My kids come home singing songs,...

Absolutely thrilled with our experience at The Goddard School in Lincoln Park! Over the past seven years, all three of my children have had the pleasure of attending this fantastic school, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the care and education they received. From the moment we enrolled our first child, we knew we had found a special place with large and bright classrooms, secured outdoor playgrounds and ample indoor play space. Both the teachers and management are incredibly dedicated and nurturing, creating a warm and inviting environment where learning and growth flourish. Each teacher we have had, from infants to PreK, were not only skilled but also genuinely passionate about early childhood education, making every day an exciting adventure for my kids. Goddard really helped us raise our children to who they are today!

The curriculum is thoughtfully designed to...

We’re really happy with Goddard. The school is very communicative and flexible. We appreciate the social interaction that our daughter is getting at daycare and can see the progress in her since she’s attended Goddard.

We started our son at Goddard when he was only 4 months old and we had the best experience! The most nurturing and thoughtful environment!

The management staff is phenomenal! They are quick to respond and super attentive and accommodating! All of the instructors are so patient and kind to the children. It's a difficult job and they all do such a wonderful job!!
