The daycare is not bad when your kids are very easy going. The place seems to be not prepared at all for any challenges. Pretty much you need to expect from your child doing everything and exactly what everyone else, otherwise there are tons of complaints from the teachers. Since discipline and respect is very important and your child needs to listen to the teachers, some teachers are extremely confused when your child has a more challenging day (I feel like some teachers are paid for staying with the kids and not taking care of them - but you expect for the big $$ you pay to have somebody to work on/with your child, right?). Especially the nap time - if your 4yr old just doesn't feel like sleeping or staying in the bed for 2 hours - you have an issue since the place will call you immediately to tell you must pick up your child. The day care seems to be not accommodating and flexible; they do not try to find out what the issue is and how to approach the kids but they expect the children to behave exactly how the daycare' regulations say. Simply - if your little daughter doesn't want to take a nap, they will force her to stay quiet for 2 hours (it is pretty challenging for a 4yr, isn't it?). They do not try to find some quiet activity or other solutions, but they call and make a huge deal of it. Unfortunately, at this point you are being blamed as the parent and regardless the fact that you pay for taking care of your child - it is said pretty much "do something or we will not want your baby here". I would expect more from a certified place stating that all the teachers have knowledge to approach every kid the way that works...

I just LOVE that my son gets to attend the Goddard School in Elgin. The teachers are so sweet and engaging which is everything that I want for my little one. He comes home with artwork and projects every day and I get many pictures of him involved in classroom activities daily. I love the video clips that get sent home as well! This is a terrific school and if I can't be home with him, I am glad he is at a place where they genuinely care for everyone!

Greatest school ever, especially in that area! Owners are great, teachers are wonderful and caring. The curriculum is organized and taught well, my daughter always surprises me with things she learns. Overall, I feel comfort in knowing I don't have to worry about my daughter's well being, environment and safety.

Great staff, curriculum and learning environment. The entire staff is friendly and has the student's best interest at heart.

If I had a billion dollars and never had to work; I would have my son attend the Goddard School in Elgin! It is a happy and healthy environment that focuses on individualization and is still wonderfully structured to bring out the best in each child. My son flourishes in this environment. The owners are hands on and the teachers are the absolute best of the best! The Goddard School is the best place in the world for the love of my life to learn and grow!
