I must say that the experience has been nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I walked through the doors, I knew that I had made the right choice for my child's early education and care. Mr. Akhtar and Ms. Amy are amazing and very caring and accommodating.Communication between the daycare and parents is excellent. The staff keeps me informed about my child's progress, daily routines, and any significant milestones achieved. They also encourage open communication, making themselves available for any concerns or questions I may have. This level of transparency and involvement is reassuring for a parent like me. My child loves his teachers and directors. It gives me peace of mind knowing that my child is in a safe and healthy environment.

I can't say enough good things about Goddard. The staff is wonderful- they are all very caring and trustworthy. The owner is always there and cares deeply for the school. We have had a great experience for both of our children.

Spanish and sign language curriculumThe Spanish and sign language curriculum are wonderful. I truly feel that my daughter has received the competencies required to be successful in kindergarten.I must mentioned that she has also attended The Goddard School Aurora since daycare! She has blossomed in ways that are exemplified through physical, social and academic measures! My daughter A’mia has just graduated on Saturday June 8th, 2019 I was beaming and tearful with pride and confidence that my baby will soar now at her new school and kindergarten in the fall! Thank you Mr Aktar, Ms Amy,Mrs Sparkle and all the wonderful teachers before! It has been a wonderful journey we will never forget!

Goddard has been a blessing to our family. Our two youngest girls have both attended and we were genuinely sad when it was time for them to move on to public school. The schools in this area are terrific, but Goddard provides learning in an nurturing environment. They truly care about the kids in their care and their families. I especially love the use of technology, the communication throughout the day and via the mobile app and the "vacation days" families can use to take time off when needed.

The only reason my child no longer attends is because we moved out of state. They seem to really care about the kids development and I noticed a difference in my son very quickly. He absolutely loved it there. They were all very nice, helpful and any issues were dealt with promptly. The director is a down to earth guy who also ha dhis own children attend the school, which to me says a lot! Great school, you won't be disappointed.

I had an interview at this location, I sat in the directors office for an hour before my interview waiting for them to be "ready". The director was rude and very unprofessional, also she appeared to have just rolled out of bed. I was offered the position and decided not to take it due to the fact that after given a tour of the school it was dirty and I witnessed a teacher on her phone while she was supposed to be watching children. I just did not like the atmosphere of the school. I wouldn't reccomend working or sending your children here.

My Children attended the Goddard School in Aurora (on Waterford Dr.) for several years and I broke down in tears the day the last of my youngest graduated from their Kindergarten program. It was truly a Godsend for my family. It is the cleanest, most nurturing and amazing place for any child. It always amazed me how the whole staff knew all the children at the school. They cared for each child on an individual basis. My family has many fond memories. The staff seemed a happy bunch. The management does a great job of handling the staff, parents and kids with kindness and patience. My kids are thriving in Elementary school and have adjusted very well. I thank the Goddard School for their amazing presence in my family's life!

Goddard School definitely earns all 5 stars. My son attended from fall 2014- summer 2017. From the moment I dropped him off at Goddard at 12 weeks old, I knew he was safe and cared for. Here are just a few of the reasons this is an excellent place for your child.1. The staff was excellent and my son formed bonds with them instantly. As his language skills progressed, he would say, "I love Miss Jenny or I love Ms. Maggie". The staff also bonded with my son, and I felt he was cared for by staff who treated him like family.2. The feedback and communication from the staff and directors is excellent. I received daily reports and photos showing my son's activities as well as regular reports of developmental milestones he achieved. The staff also gave helpful tips on when to initiate potty training and worked with us to use consistent training techniques.3. The curriculum is top-notch and nationally known. When I moved out of state and was enrolling my son in a pre-school with a competitive admission, they stated that, "if he went to Goddard School, we know he will fit in just fine here".4. They are flexible on scheduling and pricing, allowing part-time and part-year scheduling. This was helpful as my wife is a teacher and has a portion of the summer off. They are open almost every day of the year, with the exception of major holidays and one in-service day. For two working parents juggling schedules, Goddard made our lives a lot easier.5. They have a great location, just off of Ogden Avenue, near Rush-Copley Hospital. I would highly recommend this location for anyone living in the Aurora/North Aurora/Naperville/Oswego areas. I lived about 10 minutes from Goddard, and pick-ups and drop-offs were always smooth without major traffic delays.

I worked here for three years. I ended up leaving to pursue other career options, but if I had children I would send them to Goddard. The place is a tight knit community and the owner is one of the kindest people I have ever met. It is also the cleanest and most organized school I have ever seen.

My daughter started attending The Goddard School when she was two years old. I just attended her preschool graduation this past June. In 4 years, my daughter not only received an excellent education, she was nurtured and loved by all the staff members. I always knew that she was safe and well cared for when I dropped her off each morning. She still asks if she can go back and visit her teachers as well as Mr. Akhtar and Mrs. Amy. I could not be happier with the care she received at her time at The Goddard School. I feel confident that she is ready to enter Kindergarten and excel in the fall thanks to her wonderful teachers and the caring staff!
