The owners are amazing...the staff is so caring, kind, they communicate. They are so clean and I don't worry about Covid, they take it very serious and our up to date about everything. I also would like to add that my daughter went there from 2013-2016 and many of the same teachers and staff are still employed, goes to show they love their jobs and the owners take care of them. Thanks!!!

They are dedicated to children's learning and safety, and don't compromise on either. The teachers, owners, and all staff are loving and caring. They are constantly reevaluating what they do to ensure a fun and engaging learning environment. We could not recommend them higher!

Every single teacher we've had is fantastic. They're very attentive to the children's needs and it is not like a typical "day care" where people just look after your kids while you can't watch them. This is a "learning" and "teaching" day center facility. Both owners are very much interested in every child's well-being. A very well-structured environment for any child

I love the positive, nurturing environment Goddard (Elgin) creates—it helps to maximize our son’s learning and growth. Staff also promote positive social/emotional skills that contribute to the full growth of a child.
