We've had such an incredible experience at Goddard Lake Forest right from the start! From our first day, everyone made us feel welcome and comfortable. The staff has been amazing—from the admins who greet us warmly every day to the amazing teachers who genuinely care about the kids. Each and every teacher our son has had has been fantastic—nurturing, patient, and truly invested in his growth. The school has not only provided a safe and happy environment, but it's also laid a strong foundation for our son’s educational success. We’re so glad we chose Goddard and would highly recommend it to any family!
The Goddard School has been an incredible experience for my little one, who absolutely loves all the fun and exciting activities they offer. They just finished a splash day at school but there are so many wonderful activities such as gardening, painting, yoga, etc. The environment is warm and welcoming + everyone is so sweet and caring! The teachers are exceptionally attentive and always updates us. It's truly a wonderful place for children to learn and grow. I highly recommend!
I absolutely love Goddard Lake Forest for my son. As a parent, I want the best for him and believe me, I’ve done my research in looking for the right school. This school exceeds my expectations with their faculty, curriculum, and cleanliness of their classrooms and playground areas. I appreciate how much they genuinely care about my son. At drop off, I can see how kind and truly excited his teachers and the other faculty are to start their day with him. I specifically love his teachers. The activities they create for the kids are amazing and I know he is getting the opportunity to learn in the best possible environment. I also appreciate his teachers taking the time to send me so many pictures of him during the day. It makes me feel included. His teachers always give me an update on his day at pickup as well. They are also so willing to accommodate any of my specific requests when it comes to my son. In short, Goddard is the best school I’ve found and I appreciate the work everyone does every day. I’m more than happy to write this review. Thank you for providing my son a home away from home.
The Goddard family is truly one of a kind. This school is a 25 minutes drive for us but we're willing to make the trek. We fell in love with the admin team and teachers when my older daughter joined their pre-school program (age 3). She (now age 6) still talks about her experience with the teachers and all the wonderful kinds she learned. The facility is clean, inviting, and well-maintained. We now have our youngest daughter (age 3) who is just having the time of her life.
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.
