Skokie (Evanston/ Wilmette) Reviews & Recognition

Austin absolutely loves his teachers in Sea Lions. He has learned so much academically and socially and he’s only been there 7 months. My husband and I can’t wait to see him continue to grow and go to the other classrooms with the rest of the fantastic teachers at Goddard!

I would recommend Goddard Skokie (Evanston/Wilmette) to anyone in a heartbeat. The teachers and staff are incredible and feel like family. Every time our son transitions to a new room, we are sad to say goodbye to the teachers because they have become such an important part of our world. They create a space that is nurturing, fun, educational and safe. This place is magical and our son is so lucky to be a part of this community.

My daughter, 11 months, LOVES her teachers. Drop off is rarely a problem and if I have to pick her up early, she doesn't even want to go with me - she wants to stay with her teachers! (Sea Lions!)

Will & Molly's Mother

Preschool Classroom

The staff and teachers are clearly so caring of my children, encouraging of them, and passionate about fostering their social/emotional/intellectual growth. I can tell every teacher has gotten to know my children well. Also, all staff communicates regularly and clearly so I know what my kids' day-to-days are. Finally, the staff has been so supportive to us as parents when troubleshooting certain behaviors like tantrums or difficulty entering the classroom in the morning.

Administrative staff and teachers are warm and caring, get to know my children, and clearly communicate with us as parents. COVID precautions have been stellar. To boot, the actual facilities are wonderful. I only feel good when I send my children to Goddard in Skokie and my confidence is reinforced by my kids' excitement to return to Goddard the next day to see their friends and teachers.

Our boys Yoni and Jonah absolutely love coming to school! The teachers are always so welcoming and warm! With one child on their way to Kindergarten and another just starting in Sea Lions its been an incredible journey watching Jonah grow the past five years, and we cannot wait to see Yoni do the same. Thank you guys so very much! We appreciate you more than you know.

Jonah & Yonatan Yoni's Mother

Pre-K Classroom

The whole child approach to learning is appreciated. While we feel confident that our children will be more than prepared for the academics of kindergarten, they will also be prepared social-emotionally to advocate for themselves and others.
