The Goddard School of Deerfield (Northbrook)

We couldn't be happier with our experience at Goddard Deerfield. From the moment we walked through the doors, we felt welcomed by a team of genuinely warm, caring, and dedicated educators. The staff is attentive and takes the time to truly get to know each child. It is clear that they care deeply about the their wellbeing, development, and happiness. We feel confident that our daughter is safe, supported, and loved throughout the day. What stands out most is the playful and nurturing environment. Every day is filled with engaging activities, creativity, laughter, and opportunities for learning through play. The communication is excellent, and the staff consistently goes above and beyond to make both children and parents feel valued.

Our family has had an incredible experience at Goddard over the past 5 years. We truly could not have asked for a more loving, supportive, and caring environment for our two boys. The programming is amazing, the teachers are excellent, and the sense of community among both the staff and families is really special. Goddard has truly been a home away from home for our family, and we are so grateful for the foundation they’ve helped build for our boys. We cannot recommend them highly enough!

Goddard is wonderful. The teachers and staff are attentive and truly care about the kids, the parents, and the experience every family gets.

Goddard has been an incredible school for our son. He has grown academically, socially, developed a love of learning. The Goddard administration and teachers go above and beyond to create a fun, creative, and warm learning environment. My son has especially loved his daily music classes with Ms Nadia and loves to sing songs for our family at home. This is such a special and unique component of daycare! We couldn’t be happier with Goddard and highly recommend the school.

My daughter loves coming to school and seeing all of her wonderful teachers, especially Mrs. Marwah. She always talks about the amazing time she has playing with her and being in her class. The Tiger Classroom has created such a warm and joyful experience that truly made her love coming to school. Thank you to the Tiger Classroom for making such a positive impact on her. ❤️

Our three year old son thrives in Goddard’s environment with Ms. Maddy and Ms. Alondra at the helm of the Koala room. He is able to make ‘big boy’ decisions as he rotates through the stations each day. He is learning to name his emotions and express them safely. He is developing his gross and fine motor skills and having fun while doing it. I would highly recommend this school.

Our experience with The Goddard School has been so wonderful. Since my son started, I’ve truly seen him grow and come out of his shell more each day. He’s learned so much, and it’s clear how much love and effort goes into everything they do.

I’m especially grateful for his teachers—Ellen, Ivette, Janice, and Kyle. They are so caring, patient, and genuinely invested in the kids. You can tell they really go all out to make learning fun and meaningful, and it shows in how much my son has developed.

It gives me so much peace knowing he’s in such good hands every day. We’re beyond thankful for this team and everything they’ve done for him!

We've been at Goddard since 2022, and both of my daughters are absolutely thriving.

We’ve had one amazing teacher after the next. Ms. Marwah, Ms. Anusha, and Ms. Shruthi have challenged my 5-year-old in ways I didn’t know were possible at this age. She looks forward to science experiments and creative crafts each day and is learning impressive math skills and how to read!

Ms. Angela and Ms. Kathie and Ms. Dulce have been rockstars with our 2-year-old and helped us conquer potty training while managing a classroom full of 2 year olds.

Ms. Nadia offers amazing daily music - one of my girls favorite parts of each day, and Ms. Yuli is a wonderful teacher — I’m blown away by how much Spanish my kids have learned.

Both of my girls love going to school each day. They’re always greeted with warm smiles, and the directors, administrators and...
