Schools near DeForest, WI

“When looking at daycares, I wasn’t sure if the Goddard School was in our budget, given their well respected programming. After doing our research, we found the cost to be comparable but the value to be exponentially greater than other local options.Since day 1 of starting at Goddard School, our expectations have been exceeded. The teachers in each of the 3 classrooms our child has been in are kind, caring and passionate, and they truly connect with my child. They are responsive to my child’s unique needs, and they work alongside parents to help foster development, including working through age appropriate behavior issues. I am amazed at what my child is learning at such a young age, and he is very clearly ahead of the curve compared to other kids his age at other daycares.My child looks forward to going to “school” each day, and he barely realizes I’m leaving at drop off because he’s already playing with friends. He even lists off the names of his teachers and friends on the way home each day.We couldn’t be more happy with our experience this far, and we look forward to our future child attending Goddard as well.”

“My kids loved going to Teddy's Place! The teachers/owners were awesome and my kids received great care there. They really care about the health and safety of the kids, as well as helping prepare them for school. If you're looking for quality child care/preschooling, this is one of the best in the area.”

From the director to the teachers, my daughter and I are always greeted with a friendly face, and I feel like the staff truly cares about my daughter. They are great about doing activities with the kiddos and posting pictures on the app during the day for you to see what your child is up to. The facility is also very nice and updated with a large playground area for the kids to enjoy being outside.”

The onboarding process is painless, the facility is nice, spacious, and full of natural light, communication with both the teachers and the director has always been quick and easy…I’ve never had a question or email go unanswered.

“I really can't overstate the impact JFM had on our family. We were struggling at a toxic situation in our previous daycare, the care and attention they gave our son was truly remarkable. I never felt like our son was a problem, it was always faced like a good kid having a tough time. Now, only a few months later everyone is thriving and loving school! Ms Missy and Ms Erin were literal lifesavers and I will never be able to thank them enough for what they did for our family.”

“My infant started at this Kindercare summer 2023. I’ve been very grateful for the care received in the infant room. Miss Tona and Miss Kamiyah are so kind and gentle and take great care of my baby. The new center director, Miss Michelle, is also responsive and proactive in ensuring that there is a safe environment for the babies.”

“My girls (2&3) have been going here for about a month and a half and absolutely love it. Their vocabulary is expanding daily and are always learning new things each week. They do so many projects and keep the kids busy and interactive. Coloring, painting, water days, scavenger hunts, walks, games, learning about each holiday that comes up and the meaning behind them. Their app is amazing as well as I can see what they are doing during the day. Super happy.”
