Naperville (83rd Street) Reviews & Recognition

The love and commitment of our Goddard families inspires us every day. To help make each child’s learning experiences the best they can be, we are always happy to listen when parents share their expectations. Here’s what our families have to say.

  • The curriculum for one. You provide a challenging environment that supports failure while promoting growth. You have teachers who are truly student centered and they truly care about the students. My kids love learning because of you.

  • Everyone is very personable and helpful. When I met the owner and teachers, I immediately felt comfortable with sending my son there. I appreciate the facility is well cared for and have strong security in place as well. I value that my son is learning a specific curriculum each day as well. Best of all my son loves it and I get pictures every day! Thank you so much!
