Chicago (West Loop) 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.

  • Everything’s good including the professional and patient of the teacher. I also love the cleanliness of the center and teacher who help the kids to keep everyone nice and clean. My kid rarely get sick and able to go to school everyday with such good clean environment. Keep up the good work. Thank you.

  • Goddard in the West Loop is great! I was very hesitant to transition my daughter to daycare but the staff and owner put my mind at ease and are great with my child. They genuinely care for the children’s wellbeing and safety which was my top priority when selecting a daycare. If I have any concerns, they are taken seriously and addressed promptly which is a huge relief as a parent. I will continue to recommend Goddard to other parents/caretakers!

  • It's been a great first month! The communication between us and the staff has been really good. Ms. Cecilia is so kind and you can tell she cares about the kids and their wellbeing. We especially love the app communication - pictures, daily report, school communication, etc. Thanks for welcoming us with open arms! It might seem small, but Isabel also looks forward to which fruit she's going to pick each day :). It's a very thoughtful touch.

It makes me so happy to see how excited he is to see the Goddard teachers and his friends in the class! Means he's happy there!

  • Everyone at Goddard has been incredibly welcoming and kind to us and our child. They have met him at his level and have worked with him to meet his needs and make the transition into school easier on him. We truly feel the teachers and staff have his best interest at heart. The teachers are incredible and go above and beyond to take care of our son, and to make sure we feel heard and in the loop.

  • Staff does a great job engaging with our daughter and helped us get through the first month of daycare. When our daughter started she seemed so unhappy, but after a month she's excited to go to school. Our teacher is amazing! It seems like she comes home every day with a new word that she knows. The food they give her has a lot of variety and is healthy. 10/10 would recommend to a friend.

  • We are now six weeks into our 20 month old daughter enrollment in the school. After looking at several other daycare options in the West Loop are are 100% sure we made the right choice. She is learning and having such a good time her 3 half days a week. We can't believe how fast her vocabulary, motor skills and her ability to play with her classmates are changing every week.
