The Goddard School

We love Goddard. My son is always talking about all the fun and educational activities they do at school. The teachers are friendly and always willing to help give advise if I need it.

We love the Goddard School! My child is always telling me about the wonderful activities that they are doing throughout the day. Usually we have a hard time convincing our children to leave at night. We couldn't be happier!

My daughter has been there for about a year and while we like the management and the school overall, I think they must be doing something wrong. They can't seem to keep their teachers, my daughter has had over ten teachers in one year, and we're considering a switch because of these staffing issues it has been really hard for her to adjust to a new teacher every month!

The Goddard School in St. Charles, Il. has been a blessing for our granddaughter. I interviewed three other pre-schools in the area, none compared to the child friendly environment Goddard offers. The staff and teachers are truly devoted to early child development. Our granddaughter always comes out of class with exciting news of her day's events.

This school is wonderful! My son has been attending the school for 8 months and he has grown dramatically since he started. The teachers are nurturing and caring with the children which is exactly what they need during this time of their live. When I pick my son up I always get wonderful stories about things he did during the day.

Goddard has prepared two of my children for grade school and will most likely prepare my third. The staff at Goddard - St Charles make it feel warm and inviting, more like dropping them off at a friends house. But definitely have a program that they follow. Although I definitely plan on returning to Goddard my only complaint would be the size of the classes. The year my daughter attended Goddard it had just opened and the classes were smaller - she seemed to have more attention than my son who attended two years later. All in all the expereince was really positive and the children were completely ready for grade school.

We love it! We found the Goddard School to be an excellent experience for our two-year-old daughter. She started attending Goddard School when she was 11 months old. Mr. and Mrs. Farimani, the owners, have created a safe, secure, clean, caring, fun and educational environment for all the children. All the teachers that my daughter so far had are educated, friendly, and caring. They take education very seriously. Spanish, sign language, art, yoga, music and some other skills that are necessary to enter elementary school are provided. I could not found a better school for my daughter. She loves her teachers, the director, assistant director and Mrs. Farimani. She loves being there and I do not feel guilty about dropping her off in the morning.

We love this school! My 6 year old son attended for 2 years before he started grade school and my 2 year old son is currently enrolled. Parto and Nasser Farimani, the owners, have created a safe, secure, and educational environment for our children. The teachers truly care about the individual child and work with the parents on key developmental skills like potty training. They also provide Spanish, sign language, socialization and the basic PK-K skills necessary to enter grade school. The owners and director are always there to greet you and make you feel part of an extended family. As a working mother, its great not to feel guilty about dropping my son off at preshool. He loves his teachers, always has a hug for Parto, and wants to be there.

We found the Goddard school to be an excellent experience for our daughter. The owner is always there and welcomes you in - as do the teachers. They take education, safety, cleanliness, and development of your child very seriously. Spanish is included along with sign language in the instruction. Our daughter was in the preschool but they start with babies on up to 6 years.
