They taught my daughter so much and fostered her creativity and independence. I didn't feel guilty leaving her there every day to work. I felt that they were actually doing more than I could at home. All of the teachers took special interest in my daughter and tried to get to know me as well. The director and support staff helped me get through the pitfalls of being a mom and loved my daughter. Such a supportive place! When we moved closer to our jobs I tried to figure out a way to keep doing the commute so that my daughter could go there but realized that is ridiculous. It is a fantastic place!

The genuine care they showed to our kids (and our whole family, honestly) for the past four years has been extraordinary. My kids were happy to walk through those doors every single day. We were always greeted by smiling staff members. The kids learned so much from the curriculum they used. The teachers made everything so fun! (Ms. Pam, our kids were talking about your St Patrick's shenanigans JUST today- you created memories they'll never forget). We took advantage of the phonics enrichment they offered (Ms. Alison, we love you!) All kids also received some Spanish curriculum, too! We received pictures, notes, and updates daily through their app. The directors, Ms. Rachna and Ms. Alyssa, are simply wonderful. They work so hard to make the center a true community, and we enjoyed all the daycare parties they hosted outside of normal hours to allow families to connect and socialize. Our kids were safe, well-fed (thank you, Ms. Jackie!), loved, and engaged every day. Leaving this place for elementary school was genuinely so difficult because of the relationships we built here. If you're looking for a "home" for your littles, do not overlook this exceptional place.

I cannot say enough good things about the staff at Goddard and the impact they have made on not only my life, but my son's as well. The entire staff are caring, compassionate, and true educators/nurturers. The program they have in place to assist with developing learning and language is unmatched in our opinion! Our Son continues to learn so much daily and frequently does not want to leave when we come to pick him up as there are so many fun things for the kids to experience (crafts, various toys, activities, etc). The Teachers are wonderful and genuinely excited to see the kids each day! Also, Ms. Deb, the chef, is wonderful and it always smells delicious when she is cooking for the children! Thank you to everyone at The Goddard School St. Charles you're doing a wonderful job and have made many families immensely comfortable and happy.

I strongly and unequivocally disagree with the statement provided by the school. As a parent, my…read moreconcern is not only valid but supported by the seriousness of what occurred. This matter was significant enough to warrant involvement from DCFS, and a formal case was opened and documented as a violation. That alone directly contradicts any attempt to minimize or dismiss the situation. The claim that there is a "zero-tolerance policy" and that all children are consistently kept in a safe and nurturing environment does not align with my child's experience or the outcome of the investigation. Policies are only meaningful when they are properly enforced, and in this instance, there was a clear failure to uphold the standards that are being publicly promoted. I find it deeply concerning that the response avoids accountability and instead attempts to deflect by not addressing key details. As a parent, I trusted this facility with my child's safety, and that trust was compromised. The fact that this resulted in a documented DCFS violation speaks for itself. I am sharing this not to engage in conflict, but to ensure transparency and to emphasize that this situation was real, serious, and formally recognized by the appropriate authorities. Parents deserve full honesty when it comes to the safety and well-being of their children. CITATION- 407100A3 & 407100A10
