The Goddard School

This Goddard- lake forest- stands out for its nurturing environment, where every child is valued as an individual. With a focus on fostering creativity, curiosity, and social-emotional growth, the curriculum is designed to engage young learners through hands-on activities and play-based learning. The staff is highly trained, compassionate, and dedicated to providing personalized attention, ensuring that each child feels supported and inspired. The preschool’s welcoming, safe space encourages exploration and discovery, setting the foundation for a lifelong love of learning. Families rave about the sense of community and the positive impact it has on their children's early development. We were all sad when my daughter graduated last year but thankful we still get to see everyone we love since my son is still there :)

Super nice teachers and faculties! Love all the shades on the playground to allow the kids better enjoy the outside time!

I love the Goddard School because it’s our family’s home away from home.

Xuan Highly Recommends The Goddard School to their friends & family!

The staff at Goddard truly care for the children. I am thankful that not only is my child cared for, but learning knowledge and skills across many domains.

Our daughter loves it here! They do a great job communicating with parents as well. We appreciate the 7:30-5:30 hours and responsiveness of the school.

We've had a wonderful experience at here, with my 2 daughters. The staff is fantastic—caring and attentive to the needs of the children. The facilities are always clean and well-maintained, which gives us peace of mind. The management team is detail-oriented and ensures everything runs smoothly. Highly recommend!

Our daughter has spent two truly meaningful years at The Goddard School, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have been a part of this nurturing community. From Ms. Sonia and Ms.Alejandra class to Ms. Vivian and Ms. Carol’s class, each teacher has made a remarkable impact on her growth and development. We are consistently impressed by how well the teachers prepare the agenda, with such detail and informativeness.

A special mention goes to Ms. Lana, who we believe is the gem of The Goddard School. We absolutely love her and always look forward to her warm greetings every morning. Her presence has been a highlight of our experience and has made a significant positive difference in our daughter’s school days in Goddard.

Goddard has been a family to us and our two daughters for the last 7 years. Our oldest began when she was 2 and our youngest began at the age of 1. It's bittersweet as our youngest has just officially transitioned to TK this school year forcing us to say goodbye to Goddard. This was an extremely challenging goodbye as Goddard has been the village of support that has helped to raise our girls. From the leadership to the individual teachers in the classroom, there couldn't be a better team of caring individuals. They all have made such an impact on the day to day growth that our daughters have achieved, both educationally and emotionally. Ms. Carol and Ms. Vivian are incredible at what they do and their passion and love for all of the children is undeniable. They went above and beyond everyday to ensure that our youngest daughter's individual needs were nurtured. Our little one has...

The quality of the education, the staff, and the facilities are top notch. Even more so with the new playground renovations (early 2024). I also really like how the actual school building is completely dedicated to the school and not shared with any other business tenants. My daughter has grown so much there during her 2+ years of attendance. She also has made so many new friends, which led to new friends even for the parents. :)

Highly recommend, definitely worth the cost.
