We’ve been at Goddard School for two years now, and I honestly think it’s the best choice we could have made. When we first moved here, my older daughter started at 2.5 years old and adjusted so well. The teachers are warm, friendly, and truly care about the kids. My girls have built such strong relationships with them. When my younger one turned two, I didn’t hesitate for a second to enroll her here too. The staff is stable, the school is clean and organized, and there’s always something fun happening throughout the year. Both of my kids have grown so much here, and we’re so grateful for this amazing community.

We love the Goddard! Both our kids love going to school, love their teachers and love all the fun activities and friends they get to play with! Teachers are amazing and it's so clear that they love children.

We switched to the Goddard School of Aurora South last year with hesitancy, after not being happy with two prior daycare centers and not knowing if we’d be happy with any daycare center. I am SO glad that we switched to Goddard and couldn’t be more pleased — I wish we had enrolled our kids here sooner! The front office staff is helpful, responsive, and always available (my daughter asked last week if they live at the school 😆). The teachers in the classroom are consistent and go above and beyond to create a nurturing, joyful, engaging, and safe environment for the kids. It’s clear they are passionate about what they do and our child’s development. In the past year, our daughter has started reading and writing and comes home every night eager to share about the activities they did and new things she’s learned. We are so grateful to have found such a wonderful daycare where our daughter is not only safe and cared for, but also thriving! We love the Goddard School and especially the amazing staff and owner!

We love The Goddard School of Aurora (South) and have recommended it to friends and neighbors. Both the front office staff and teachers are wonderful, organized, and caring. Our daughter loves "going to school" and we feel incredibly comfortable leaving her there. She has thrived at this school and has grown both socially and emotionally. Additionally, we love The Goddard's School's advanced play-based curriculum. Our daughter is currently in the Pre-K class and she is excelling at (and loving) learning how to read, how clocks and calendars work, how to play chess, and do math. We couldn't ask for a better preschool experience!

Simply put, we couldn’t be happier. The leadership team, including Janessa and Shannon, is incredible—so involved, warm, and truly passionate about what they do. We especially adore our little one’s teachers, Miss Erika and Miss Dalila. They’ve created such a loving, engaging environment, and it’s clear she is learning and growing every day. She absolutely loves going, and we genuinely enjoy drop-off and pick-up because the entire staff is so friendly and kind. As first-time parents, we did a lot of research, and GSAS has exceeded our expectations. We feel so grateful to be part of such a supportive and embracing community.
