The Goddard School of Mokena - Mokena, Illinois

The Goddard School of Mokena is a top notch school and I urge anyone with children to consider this school. The staff is very friendly and are knowledgeable on keeping children engaged, happy, and healthy. They have an app which is updated daily so you know what your child has learned that day, when and if they’ve had diaper changes, what, when, and how much my child eats, when my child naps and for how long, whose watching them, and when able to the staff uploads cute pictures of your child during activities. At the same time they also respect privacy and so what goes on the app and even on their webpage is completely controlled by you! We have been there since around NOV 2024 and my children have taken leaps and bounds in their education and social aspect of their lives. My 2 year old had seperation anxiety and in about 2 weeks she was walking into her class by herself waving bye to me. My 4 year olds speech has grown leaps and bounds and about 2 weeks ago she came up to me and counted to 10……… in SPANISH! This school is great for all children and I will keep suggesting this school to anyone whose looking for a daycare!

My daughter had never been to daycare before and her first couple weeks at Goddard were hard. She would cry everyday at drop and be so happy when we picked her up. She found a connection and affection with one teacher and from there she realized “when I get here to this place Ms. Rasha will be there and I’ll be okay”. The entire staff at this Mokena location were amazing during her transition and all throughout her time here. We would recommend Goddard Mokena a million times over and over again!

I love this school! We visited a bunch of daycares in the area, and Goddard was by far our favorite. The staff are warm and friendly, the space is clean, well-ordered, and bright, and my child is engaged throughout the day. I would recommend Goddard Mokena to anyone!

I am a speech therapist that sees children at the Goddard School in Mokena. They have been warm and welcoming. The teachers are kind and dedicated. The owners are great!
The school is organized, clean and there is an atmosphere of kindness. I appreciate being able to help parents in the area by providing speech services right at the building for their children. Highly recommend!

We feel so fortunate to have our daughter in the care of Ms. Toni, Mrs. Diane, and the entire Goddard staff! We have felt an overwhelming sense of "home" as she's now been at the school for a little over a month in the infant room and are so grateful for the constant love and care that is taken while she is there. We know every day dropping her off that she is in the best of hands and we thank you all so much for that! We are excited to see her learn and grow from all of you.

We sent our daughter to Goddard when I went back to work after maternity leave and it was the best Decision ever! We absolutely loved it there! The owners Neel and Dolon were incredible. Ms. Lisa the Education Director was wonderful and our daughters teacher Ms. Donna was such a blessing to our daughter. She thrived and loved it at Goddard! I can not recommend Goddard enough for your family and kids! If you’re thinking about Goddard definitely check it out!

I'm amazed and delighted by this school! The classrooms are spacious, clean and full of materials for the little ones to play with and learn from.

My daughter turns 5 in October, which means she will miss the September cutoff date to get into Kindergarten. This essentially would mean she would be falling behind nearly a year in school, since she will be close to 6 when she goes into her first year of Kindergarten. Thankfully this school has a special class for older pre-k children. In the Junior pre-k program, my daughter is getting exposed to a variety of subjects such as Spanish, yoga, math, or sign language just to name a few. She doesn't lose interest quickly because teachers are constantly challenging her with new things, and most importantly she is happy and is enjoying herself. She comes home with a smile on her face and is excited to share with me what she has learned at school.

Staff, teachers, and owners know me and my daughter by our names (not something I can boast about other places). Everyone is super friendly and the environment is very welcoming.
Not to mention the security in the place...nice cameras and hand scanner! It gives me great peace of mind 🙂

If you want your little one to get the care she/he deserves while getting an excellent education, send them here. You won't regret it. Thank you for all you do!!!

Our children attended the Goddard School for over 5 years. We are very happy with how our kids learned and grew during their time there. They were able to develop social skills and were well prepared for kindergarten. The staff and ownership were always very respectful and supportive to our family. We are very grateful for experience our family had with the Goddard School.
