As someone who has work in the Early Childhood industry for many years, I wouldn't choose a place for my child where I wouldn't work myself. I'm excited to share my wonderful experience with the Goddard School of Deerfield. Since my now 4-year-old started attending, I've been consistently impressed. Their exceptional program creates a nurturing and stimulating environment for young minds to thrive. The teachers are not only amazing but also caring and attentive. My child has learned a lot and developed a love for learning, thanks to their dedication. It's heartwarming to see my 4-year-old thrive academically and emotionally, and I'm delighted with my decision to enroll and work at the Goddard School of Deerfield! Read more >

I don't ever leave reviews because I am always on the go and just don't make the time. However, given that this involves the person that I love most in this world, I wanted to share how much we adore The Goddard School of Deerfield!

The integration of music, Spanish (I come from a Spanish background and having my son learn Spanish is SUPER important to me!), and chess into their curriculum is simply outstanding and in my eyes, sets them apart. Although they are all there to educate our children, they do this with a sprinkle of fun and enrichment, and honestly we couldn't be happier.

Having been in business myself for many years, I truly believe that in any industry there needs to be a good boss/staff relationship. Every time that I take my son to Goddard I can see what an incredibly strong relationship the directors have with their teachers. I see them go... Read more >

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... Read more >

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. Read more >

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! Read more >

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! Read more >

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! Read more >
