The Goddard School of Deerfield (Northbrook)

Our family is absolutely thrilled with The Goddard School in Deerfield! We have two little ones, ages 2 and 4, and this school has truly exceeded our expectations. The quality of the teachers is outstanding. They are both skilled educators and nurturing caregivers, and our children have really thrived.

Additionally, the front office staff is always friendly, welcoming, and ready to assist with any questions. The Goddard School activities are also unparalleled. Our kids have music class every day, are learning Spanish, and our son loves his chess lessons and talks nonstop about "King Chomper."

Finally, what stands out is that people love being there. The PTO is very active and has arranged opportunities for parents to connect and the teachers consistently say they feel lucky to work there. We couldn't be happier, and wholeheartedly recommend The...

We've been taking our two kids here for almost a year now, and we love it.

The owners, Jane and Genia, are very engaged. In addition to the normal curriculum, they are always arranging special events like a juggler, magician, petting zoo, and even a foam party. We love seeing photos and videos each day of the art, science, and music projects they do.

The front office folks are helpful, attentive, and know every child's first name. The teachers have all been excellent. I believe a big part of that, while it is a complex and difficult industry, is that they are better taken care of here than your average daycare.

Lastly, we love how diverse they are. Our children are growing up learning from teachers who have grown up all over the world. I think it's great to hear their perspectives from such a young age.

I cannot recommend this school enough. Every staff member is outstanding. Hunter, our 4.5 year old son, has gone to Goddard for almost a year and they have been INCREDIBLE. They are patient, kind, teach thoughtfully, advance skill sets, and create fun. Each day he comes home and shares something new he has learned - ranging from shapes, numbers, spelling, to languages, kindness, and sharing. He has a community there and loves going. They are AMAZING. We wish they did all the grades and he could stay!

The staff at The Goddard School are unmatched! My son has had such an amazing experience so far. The staff go above and beyond to plan thoughtful activities throughout the day. Children of all ages get time outside daily, participate in Spanish, Music, and purposeful fine motor/art activities. Goddard plans events outside of school, which is such a great way to get to know other families. I am in awe of all of the amazing learning and meaningful activities my son completes each day. Goddard creates spirit weeks and special events for families, consistently. I am so touched by the projects my son brings home. Goddard has created such a wonderful culture and community!

We couldn’t be happier with Goddard School - from the owners to the teachers and the overall program for the kids. The teachers are very patient and attentive to the kids. The owners are always available to offer advice and help answer any questions. Our son’s knowledge grows daily and we couldn’t be more proud! Music and Spanish lessons are an added bonus our son greatly enjoys!

Goddard does a great job in so many areas - compassionate and attentive teachers, diverse array of activities and programs, wonderful mix of educational methods and a top notch food program. Our LO has been going there for years and loves it!

My daughter has been attending Goddard School of Deerfield for over a year, and it has been a wonderful experience! Teachers and administrators are attentive, kind, and seem to truly enjoy working with kids. And most importantly my daughter loves coming here. I would highly recommend this daycare!

Our son was at Goddard from about 9 months old to 23 months. Goddard was wonderful; he learned so much and loved going there. The teachers were so sweet and the administrators were very responsive.

My 4 year old and 2 year old daughters attended The Goddard School of Deerfield and loved it. Every day is thoughtfully planned and full of fun activities and learning opportunities. The teachers, including the music teacher, are excellent and the facilities are brand new and well maintained. The owners and office staff are very responsive to all questions and feedback. We only left since we moved out of state otherwise we'd happily have our kids attend until kindergarten.

We had a wonderful experience with Goddard! I love how Goddard incorporates technology into their learning. The teachers are amazing and the administration is communicative and easy to work with. I also love the hot meals for breakfast and the additional enrichments during the day. Highly recommend!
