The Goddard School

My son is 18 months old in one of the toddler rooms at The Annex, and has been at Goddard since 4 months old. What a joy it has been to see his growth and development flourish with the faculty in each classroom. Our son loves to go to school, loves his teachers and the dear friendships he’s made already! They keep him busy and do such fun activities. He absolutely loves the water days twice a week in the summer. At Goddard, they make classroom transitions easy and give peace of mind to this working mama!

Our daughter was enrolled at Goddard and we will put our younger one on the waitlist. Goddard is an amazing school with wonderful, caring, energetic and nurturing teachers. The director truly cares for his students and the families and makes sure everyone is happy, well cared for and thriving.
The classrooms are bright, warm, happy places and the curriculum is both fun and stimulating. We’re very impressed by how much they taught our daughter and how much she has grown during her time at Goddard. Thank you!

There is no comparison to the value of the Goddard School philosophy and education. We have been happier than we ever thought with our LO at Goddard Lincoln Park. The facility is top of the line-including the most up to date technology, beautiful wall murals, clean and stimulating classrooms and an actual on-site outdoor play area which is rare in Lincoln Park. The administration and owner are available at all times with any needs we've had, and it is clear that the staff and teachers truly care about the children and value their role as educators. We cannot recommend this school enough!

Our child attended Goddard for 9 months (until we relocated outside of IL). Our high expectations were met while she was part of two age- appropriate classrooms. We were very pleased with our child's experience! The children are well cared for - they learn to grow as individuals, as well as socially with others in a classroom environment. Teachers provide organized activities and free play and with that, the children learn so much. They acquire life skills, confidence, the list goes on. We felt the teachers and staff truly care. It was such a positive experience in our daughter's life - she loved her teachers and was quite fond of her classmates. We reviewed the Tadpole videos/photos every day together. The app allows parents to get a glimpse into their day. It is a fantastic way to be involved and be able to chat about the day with your child. All in all, this is what we...

Amazing preschool with small class sizes and daily outdoor activity, even in the winter! We throroughly enjoyed our 2 years of preschool at Goddard. All of the teachers and staff are so kind, patient and make the effort to really know everyone. My shy, quiet son really thrived in the smaller classroom. He learned so much in his 2 years there, we wish he could stay for Kindergarten!!

Our daughter went to Goddard from age 3-5 and she loved it! She always came back from Goddard excited about all the activities she did and what she learned. Goddard engaged her and tapped in to her creative nature. We definitely feel she is prepared for kindergarten. Jason does a great job running the school, and was extremely accommodating to our requests. He is always trying to bring new things to Goddard including coding, a science fair, teaching Mandarin, Mr. Andy's music class, and so much more. The teachers were always kind, supportive and provided great feedback at parent-teacher conferences or whenever we asked. We couldn't have asked for a better experience for our daughter and highly recommend Goddard in Lincoln Park.

#1 reason: my daughter is happy and loves it! She's learning and looks forward to school every day. Additionally, I love the updates so I know what my child is doing. There is great communication from the teachers, directors, and even owner who are all incredibly responsive. It's been great decision for our family.

The LP Goddard School is absolutely wonderful! Our family loves all the teachers and how much they care for the children. They are so considerate of each child's needs and very aware or allergies etc. Our son has enjoyed being a part of the school so much and talks about his teachers, friends, and classes at home all the time. Unfortunately, we are moving out of state and it will be so hard for me to say goodbye to Goddard and especially to the teachers who have been a part of my son's life and his first experience with school. If you have a chance to send your children to this Goddard location please do. You will not be disappointed.
