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!

My daughter recently moved into the 3s classroom. I can’t believe how much she has learned in just a few weeks. Her teachers have helped to make her transition smooth. The directors and owners truly care about every child at Goddard.

We LOVE The Goddard School! Our two girls, 3 and 5 years old, are learning so much and having a ton of fun. The owners are fantastic. Their kindness and enthusiasm extends to their amazing directors and teachers. Our kids love all of the enrichments, including Spanish, music, and yoga. The facility is new and very clean. We love the attached playgrounds and the indoor gym with climbing wall. During the summer, they have water day 2x per week and outside ice cream snacks. We have been very impressed with their communications and safety protocols during COVID. When we drop our kids off at The Goddard School, we know they are safe and happy.

We enrolled our 2 1/2 year old son earlier this year, just before Covid hit. Miss Angela and Miss Ryleigh are such sweethearts and my son just loves them! We use an app where they send us daily photos and videos of our son doing certain activities, a description of what he is doing, and the goals around that. They do so many awesome things, like growing their own radishes in their garden and eating them, touching and learning about worms, science experiments to see what sinks or floats (they're always doing so many different fun science experiments with the kiddos!), exploring the letters of their names, and yoga (my son is always trying different yoga poses at home now :-)). They also include a very detailed daily report stating the times they went potty, time they napped (if any), the meal and snack times along with what exactly he ate, and how much of it. I feel like I was there...

My children recently started at The Goddard School. We have been so happy with the quality of curriculum and staff. They have Spanish and Music classes daily and come home with adorable art projects.

Both of our sons go to The Goddard School in Deerfield. We are so happy with the warm and loving environment, creative and interesting curriculum, enrichment programs, and of course the amazing staff. The teachers, owners, and entire staff go above and beyond expectations to make sure that each child has a great experience. Our boys are very happy learning, playing, and making friends at Goddard. It’s truly a great place for a kid to be!

We just started at Goddard school! We have been really happy with the care of the teachers, Director, and owners with both our son and us as parents. I feel they are making a welcoming and warm environment!

Amazing school with lots to offer for the kids, great staff, and curriculum. My 4 year old son has been attend this school since opening day. He has always struggled with separation and any change was very stressful for him. The staff at Goddard are incredibly helpful with making him comfortable. The all hands on deck approach from the teachers, the director, and even the owners have stepped and helped my son. Now, he goes happy and tells everyone how much he loves his new school.
The food is amazing!! The food is healthy and delicious. My son has asked for several of the foods to be made at home. My very picky eater is now trying new foods.
Every day he comes home telling us about new activities they did and projects. They are alsways doing something new and learning so much. He told me all about the earth and his test tube science project. Not to mention, he...

Everyone is friendly, the curriculum is top-notch and most importantly my son loves it. My wife and I both enjoy getting daily updates and pictures from the phone app.
