This school is incredible, no other word for it! Everyone that works there care so much about the kids and their families. My girls have learned so much from all their teachers over the last 3 years. I am so thankful to be part of the Goddard family. Thank you!

We absolutely love Goddard! All of the teachers and staff are kind, loving, and understanding of all the developmental milestones for each age. We have been lucky enough to have our children experience the happy and nurturing environment that Goddard provides. We are so thankful for you all :)

The staff and teachers are clearly so caring of my children, encouraging of them, and passionate about fostering their social/emotional/intellectual growth. I can tell every teacher has gotten to know my children well. Also, all staff communicates regularly and clearly so I know what my kids' day-to-days are. Finally, the staff has been so supportive to us as parents when troubleshooting certain behaviors like tantrums or difficulty entering the classroom in the morning.

The administration is wonderful and the school is well-run. The teachers are caring and take time to individualize learning for each child. The facilities are great. Our daughter comes home each day happy and telling us all about the things she did with her teachers and friends.

Administrative staff and teachers are warm and caring, get to know my children, and clearly communicate with us as parents. COVID precautions have been stellar. To boot, the actual facilities are wonderful. I only feel good when I send my children to Goddard in Skokie and my confidence is reinforced by my kids' excitement to return to Goddard the next day to see their friends and teachers.

Our boys Yoni and Jonah absolutely love coming to school! The teachers are always so welcoming and warm! With one child on their way to Kindergarten and another just starting in Sea Lions its been an incredible journey watching Jonah grow the past five years, and we cannot wait to see Yoni do the same. Thank you guys so very much! We appreciate you more than you know.

Abra's Mother

Pre-K Classroom

The whole child approach to learning is appreciated. While we feel confident that our children will be more than prepared for the academics of kindergarten, they will also be prepared social-emotionally to advocate for themselves and others.

Pre-K Classroom

Words can hardly even begin to describe how close this school is to our hearts. We have been a part of the Goddard Family in Skokie for nearly 4 years and our daughter has been given many tools that allowed her to shape her own personality with nurturing teachers throughout these years. Her mind was opened up to new ideas, her creativity has taken on new levels, and she’s more inquisitive about the world, than ever before.

Goddard - Skokie has been a great experience so far! The teachers in both the 2 year old classroom and the toddler classrooms have been comforting, engaging and great at communicating with us! Our boys feel good about going to school everyday which makes all the difference!

The staff and owners treat your children like their own, wonderfully kind and thoughtful. This is a nursery that provides quality education that helps little one blossom. A business run truly by heart, this is so much more than “day care” it’s an investment in your child’s future, and I feel lucky to have found them.

We love that you take such good care of Leela! Goddard has been so attentive to Leela’s needs, her allergies and keeping her safe during this pandemic. We have loved every teacher she has had and all the fun things that they teach her. Leela has learned so much more being at Goddard than she would at home. We appreciate the safety measures being taken during the pandemic and believe Leela and all of the children and staff are safe!

Leela's Mother

The Goddard School staff and teachers make you feel feel part of the family from the very beginning. In a school with many children, everyone knows your child's name. You never feel lost in the shuffle. The staff is responsive, the teachers are loving and creative, and the students are happy!
