The Goddard School of Chicago (South Loop) - Chicago, Illinois

The Goddard School (South Loop) is a gem. My son started attending when he was 2 - he is now 3 - and he and I couldn’t be happier with the school. The teachers are professional, kind, engaging with the kids, and genuinely care about the kids’ growth and development. The curriculum is impressive. The administrators - directors, office managers, etc. - are warm, welcoming, helpful, and always communicative. If you’re looking for a school for your young child, this is the place. Bonus: Parents get updated throughout the day via messaging, photos and videos of their child’s school day through the Goddard app. Love that!

This school is incredible! I highly recommend this daycare. Everything is 5 stars from the teachers and staff to the Director and owner. Everyone is friendly and knowledgeable about infants and children. The facility is very clean, secure and has better play areas and an exclusive playground on the rooftop that I’ve never seen at any other daycare we toured. I absolutely love the daily updates they send through their app that provides pictures and notes about what your child is doing that day. The adorable pictures and videos they send will be the highlight of your day! And they teach your children to make adorable art that you will keep forever (see picture)!

I was very nervous about letting anyone watch my child other than myself and family but I feel now that Goddard offers open play areas, socializing, routines and development/learning opportunities that he just wouldn’t get at home or even with a nanny. Goddard of the South Loop is the way to go. So glad we found this school.

Our four-year-old daughter has been at the Goddard School for a few months now and we couldn't be happier with the school. She loves going to school every day and telling us about all the fun she had each night. Everyone we interact with at the school has been wonderful and so caring to the kids. Wonderful place and highly recommended.

I rate the Goddard School a 10 because of their exceptional communication with parents, especially through the use of the Kaymbu app. The app keeps me informed about my child’s daily activities, learning progress, and even shares photos, which creates a strong connection between home and school. The facilities are modern, clean, and designed with children's safety and learning in mind, which gives me great peace of mind. On top of that, the teachers and staff are truly amazing—caring, professional, and dedicated to fostering both education and personal growth in each child. Their warmth and expertise make this school an exceptional place for early childhood development.

I recently visited The Goddard School in South Loop and was thoroughly impressed! The location and facility are top-notch, and the warm welcome I received made me feel right at home. The children seemed happy and engaged, which was wonderful to see. I was particularly impressed with the curriculum and process, which seemed well-thought-out and effective. The abundance of natural light throughout the school was a nice touch, and the indoor area and the outdoor private play ground was truly impressive - one of the most spacious and well-equipped I've seen in the area. Overall, I was blown away by the school's facility and commitment to providing a nurturing and stimulating environment for its students. I would highly recommend The Goddard School in South Loop to anyone.

Our children have attended for several years now, and we've had a very positive experience overall. The infant and pre-toddler teachers are wonderful - they are kind and patient. The lead teachers in those rooms have been at the school for several years - it's been fun having them have both of our kids now. The facilities are clean and well-kept, and there is a good balance between free play and structured activities. Our oldest has learned so much - numbers, colors, shapes, counting to 20 in English, 10 in Spanish. Lastly, the administration has been easy to work with and communicative, which is appreciated with our busy schedules.

Our child started here over year ago and we have been very happy with our experience. It’s a relief to drop him off and trust that he is in good care. The staff are friendly and do a good job of monitoring who is coming and going. They always greet our son with a smile. Drop off/pick up are easy. Communication is great. They do a nice variety of activities with the kids and the facilities are the nicest we toured. Would recommend!
