The Goddard School of Elmwood Park

"The Goddard school located in Elmwood Park has been nothing short of a dream. My daughter has learned new skills in faster ways than I could ever teach her myself. Any issues, questions or concerns are met in a promptly manner by the staff, more specially Ms. Lisa at the front desk. Pictures are sent daily with multiple reminder texts of important days & events. Any child of mine in the foreseeable future will attend this specific location. I wish nothing but the best for this business, keep going!"

"My 4 year old used a toilet seat that goes on top of the toilet. And on her first day of school I asked the teacher to keep it in case my kid needs it. They teacher straight away told us that she can’t help the kid use it and not only that she told the kid if she won’t use the toilet without it she will not be taken outside to play with others. She stopped eating and interacting with kids for entire 4 months she was there and cried every single day. On one of the progress calls teacher told me that your child doesn’t like to interact with others and she is very quiet and has no friends in class. I had to ask the teacher to help my kid make friends to which she said that the kids are here together from long time n they have friends already so they don’t really want to make new friends My kid was not afraid of dark before but she suddenly stopped going in dark rooms or lightly lit rooms and after asking her many times she told us that the teacher would put Dracula teeth on in dark to keep us from getting out of the bed at nap time. Horrible experience horrible teacher ms. Amy I waited a year to write this review. My kid did not cry once when she went to the other school. She made new friends in a week max of going to this new school. She is not only talkative but also bilingual and on top of all of that she adores her new teacher at this new school. Please don’t send your precious babies to this horrible place."

"I am in tears as I write this review, to think my daughter will Move on to kindergarten and no longer attend the Goddard at Elmwood park in September. The Goddard came into our lives when we had no one to watch my then one year old, and the fear and anxiety of leaving my baby with “strangers”, but this did not last long. Mrs. Olga quickly put our family at ease with her confidence in my daughters success at her school! It was the cleanest, most welcoming school I looked at. There was no question this is where we belonged. Each teacher played such an important role in her growth, they gave her a routine, independence skills, helped me potty train her, and turned her into a social butterfly. I remember haven’t such anxiety about napping ( my child did not nap lol ) and she napped! And adapted with ease! I can not thank each of them for all they poured into my baby! This school is safe, clean, FUN! and I know the friendships my daughter made here will last for so long. The leaders are transparent, human and professional! I can not recommend this school enough! I will miss them dearly, and all they meant to our family."

"Our child absolutely loved Goddard School of Elmwood Park. He was enrolled since he was 9months old. The staff is incredibly caring and attentive, creating a welcoming environment that feels like a second home. We're impressed by the diverse and engaging activities that keep our child excited to learn every day. Safety measures are top-notch, and the nutritious meals are a bonus. Highly recommended for parents seeking a nurturing and enriching daycare for their little ones!""

"We have been part of The Goddard School family since 2021. We decided to enroll our son into the infants room at that time and it was the best decision we have ever made! The amount of time, dedication and nurture the staff at The Goddard School take with each child is amazing! My son has learned and grown so much since! We would like to thank Ms. Carolyn, Ms. Cat, Ms. Nicole, Ms. Destiny, Ms. Yoliza, Ms. Rafi, Ms. Joanna, Ms. Nathalie, Ms. Rebekah, Ms. Alyssa, Mr. Matthew and the entire Goddard School staff! We are eternally grateful for you all for being such wonderful people! We would also like to thank Ms. Alex who does a wonderful job along with Ms. Alyssa in running the summer camp program! They have so many activities and trips that my oldest daughter loves! A big thank you as well to the owner Mrs. Olga and the directors Mrs. Lisa and Ms. Kayla for always being very involved with the parents and children! My family and I recommend 100% The Goddard School!"
