The Goddard School

The Goddard School has been amazing for my baby. It was a big transition for her and they helped us handle it with grace. Could not be happier with her progress so far.

We started my daughter at this wonderful preschool two years ago. She's graduating soon and I'm honestly sad to be leaving this school. I'm writing this review to give other families the benefit of our opinion after two years of experience.

I'm a fairly picky and particular parent/customer, because my husband and I both work full-time and we really needed a school that would make our lives easier as well as providing excellent education. This has to be one of the best-run preschools in the country. I never had a single complaint and have been beyond impressed with the love and dedication constantly shown by the teachers and the administration.

I regularly compared notes with my friends who had their kids enrolled at other nearby preschools and frequently found myself saying, "I'm so glad our school doesn't do that!" The way this school is managed...

Great facility and great staff. Our granddaughter really enjoys going to the school. Highly recommend this school!

We love the Goddard school! Great staff, caring teachers and phenomenal programming. While the cost is high, you do get a great school for your kids. We recommend this school to all of our friends/families/neighbors!

My husband and I can’t stress enough how wonderful this school and staff has been for our son. He started going there at 6 months and has thrived in learning, sign language, social skills and kindness. They truly treat your child like part of their own family and we always picked up a smiling face. We recently moved out of the area and switched schools and have been so unhappy decided to bring our little one back with a commute. Hands down the best experience all around for us as parents and the communication and for our little one. Not all Goddard's are made equal (we tried another) - early communication speaks miles to how your child will be treated. Thank you to your entire staff for everything you do every day.

Amazing teachers! My son is always happy to see his friends in the morning and love his little art projects he brings home.

Our son spent an awesome year at the Goddard School in Lake Forest. It was overall a fantastic experience, from the quality of teachers to the curriculum. There's great communication from the teachers everyday about our child's performance at school. Ms. Parina runs a great operation and is very approachable with any questions or concerns. Highly recommend this school if you are in the area.

Let me start by saying this School and their staff is just amazing. My husband and I searched for a daycare for our daughter for quite a while and were so relieved when we finally stepped foot into The Goddard School in Lake Forest. Every other place I visited with my big pregnant belly on my hunt to find a suitable daycare for my daughter seemed like a never ending line of people who didn't really seem to care - it was like pulling teeth to get any information from anyone at these places. I was starting to dread leaving my child at any of these places when I was going to have to return to work. But...enough about my struggle to find a suitable daycare because the day my neighbor recommended The Goddard School in Lake Forest, I literally drove there the same day to check it out. I walked in without an appointment and was instantly greeted by Julie (Assistant Director). Julie was...
