This is the best preschool in Wheaton. It is a 4 day program, which is a bit much for some, but I…read morecan't believe all the stuff my son learned here! They have their own gym and library and an awesome playground. They also have a great community within the school and have an ice cream social, a family fun night and other events. All the teachers are degreed, some have advanced degrees, and their are aids in the room as well, some more than others. They really know how to motivate the kids and get them to learn. We really enjoyed this program and I really recommend it if you can swing the cost!

Ms. Laniya and Ms. Laurel are so sweet and compassionate towards all the kids in their class. My 3yr old is with Ms. Christina and she's his favorite person! He loves going to daycare and I love how structured her classroom is. The communication is top tier and having cameras to check on your little ones is a huge bonus. Latrina and all the staff at COA love the kids and it shows. They're always finding new ways to keep us connected as a community and I love all the events they host. I'm so happy we found a place that my children are comfortable with and we all love.

I am so disappointed in what happened at this daycare. My daughter was here when she turned 2 and I…read moreloved the staff everyone was so understand and sweet and really listened to the parents. My daughter is now 6 and returned just for summer on certain days and I can't get over how much unpleasantness you feel just from walking in here. This morning I literally said good morning and have a wonderful day to whoever was at the front with curly hair and she didn't even make a sound. The teacher also seems to be extremely sarcastic about anything with these school age kids room. I'm honestly going to reach out to their corporate because they have just declined and this was a daycare I raved about for years and sent many families too. Such a shame since they are so more expensive than most in the area.

They have a great indoor gym for those days that they can't go outside to play. That's an important thing in preschool! They also do a good job of teaching them the basics - numbers, letters, colors, being nice to others, etc. As far as price goes, it's pretty comparable to the other schools in Wheaton. They have parent teacher conferences and even provide baby sitting for them, which is really great. Alas, our favorite teacher, Mrs. Craig is gone. She was the bomb!

I still tell everyone who asks about local child care that The Goddard School in St. Charles is not…read morea daycare, rather a school. 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
