    A Truly Wonderful Montessori School -- Highly Recommended!…read more My daughter went to this Montessori school since she was an infant, progressing through the toddler and preschool classrooms, and we couldn't be more grateful for the experience she's had over the past three years. The growth we've seen in her socially, emotionally, and academically has been remarkable. The teachers, especially Ms. Shelby, Ms. Chloe, and Ms. Sal, have been nothing short of amazing. They create a warm, nurturing environment where the kids feel safe, encouraged, and excited to learn. My daughter absolutely adores them. One of the things we appreciate most is how the school follows a thoughtful Montessori curriculum that helps children learn independence, discipline, and responsibility through hands-on activities. They sing, explore new materials, and learn to manage things on their own all of which has supported our parenting at home, too. My daughter loves going to school every day and enjoys spending time with her friends and teachers. We truly miss this wonderful community created by Ms Richa and Ms Prerna and wholeheartedly recommend this Montessori school to any family with an infant or young child in Lake Forest. It has been such a positive and meaningful part of our daughter's early years.

The cost was very reasonable as well! My daughter was in the infant room age 6 months to 2 years. They took all of my concerns seriously and fostered her learning as much as I could ask for. I'm very happy I sent her here :)

Maryam and Amir are outstanding owners--attentive, kind, and truly invested in every child's growth and happiness. Over the years, my daughter has had amazing teachers who cared for her like their own. She still talks about her favorite teachers and how much she loves them! The school offers fun traditions like Pizza Fridays, summer water days twice a week, and exciting field trips the kids absolutely adore. Red Apple has also been instrumental in preparing my daughter for TK--not just academically, but socially and emotionally. She's ahead of school readiness requirements, which gives me complete confidence in her transition to the next stage. We've now enrolled our 2-year-old son as well, and we're looking forward to many more great years with Red Apple!

The teachers are exceptional--caring, patient, and genuinely invested in every child's success. Although we didn't need it, they can even help with potty training! Now that my daughters have moved on to kindergarten and TK, I wanted to take a moment to give this school the recognition it deserves. The strong foundation they built at Red Apple has helped them thrive in their new classrooms, and I truly credit the dedicated staff here for that success. My wife and I are actually sad that our kids do not go here anymore, however we've made some wonderful friendships with other families along the way, which has been such a gift. Thank you, Red Apple Preschool, for playing such a meaningful role in our children's early development!

    When I decided to transfer my kids to montessori, we toured many schools before making our…read moredecision. As soon as we learned about Heritage, toured their campus and met Dr. M, we knew it was the right place for our 3 and 6yr old. We had planned to start in the Fall but decided to put them in the Brain Boosting Summer Camp as well. My kids are so happy here! Dr. M is so warm and caring, and I have full trust that my children are in a nurturing, enriching environment at Heritage. As an aside, with COVID-19 rampant throughout the world right now, it was such a difficult decision to choose in-person school or try online. But I can unequivocally say that I do not think there is another school that would have a better balance between letting kids learn and play with their peers but also keeping them safe, than Heritage. Having Dr. M, who is the director of the school but also is an MD, and the rest of the staff putting in so much thoughtfulness and consideration to keeping the staff and kids safe helps put my mama heart at ease. The campus is beautiful! It may look small from the street but the playground area is quite large and the classrooms are nice and large for the kids to have space to move around (or physical distance as needed). Everything about the campus feels warm and safe..exactly what I want to help cultivate the environment that gives my kids the freedom, safety, inspiration and confidence to learn and grow. My kids are thriving there and I can't recommend it high enough!

    **Yelp Review for Heritage Montessori School**…read more Heritage Montessori School is an absolute gem! The atmosphere is buzzing with warmth and excitement. It truly feels like a nurturing home away from home for the kids. My daughter started in Class 1 last year, and I cannot say enough about the incredible experience Dr. M, Ms. Gabi, and the entire staff have created. They are not only passionate about the kids general wellbeing but also deeply committed to fostering each child's individuality and love for learning. Dr. M is direct to the point, but she recommended an amazing sleep schedule for my daughter to adjust to starting school, and her advice has been extremely valuable to a new girl dad! I get the sense that she and Ms Gabi are deeply committed to making a Heritage a safe and successful experience for every every family and are looking for parents to take an active role in improving their kids lives at the school. The personalized attention and encouragement my daughter has received have made a world of difference. The creativity and joy in the classrooms are as clear as day. From the activities to the animals and interactive learning, this place blows most daycare type schools out of the water. If you have the opportunity, I wholeheartedly recommend enrolling your kids here.

Ms. Jennifer, Ms. Lana and Ms. Delmy know all the children's names and take the time to really interact with the kids as well as the parents. The teachers treat the children with such love and care, and they also give attention and communicate well with parents. Daily reports are shared along with photos so parents can stay in the know about their child's day to day. Parent teacher conferences are useful as teachers share the progression of work when it comes to academics. There are also tons of wonderful activities brought to Goddard like basketball camp, reptile day, water/foam day (for summer time) plus visits from professions that teach about music and the importance of brushing your teeth. I love the fact that everything is onsite so your children never need to leave the school (compared to public school/elementary school). The facility is clean and bright, and the seasonal decor on classroom doors are fun to look at (designed by teachers that sometimes include the children's faces). Kids come home with art projects, drawings and some academic work (letters and numbers for their appropriate ages). AM and PM snacks are now provided (lunch must be brought and labeled with names and dates). That was nice because we had to bring in our own snacks during Covid and for a long while after Covid. Goddard is a great preschool and I highly recommend it. As a note, they do have a mandatory rest period from 12:30pm - 3pm and most kids nap. They turn down the classroom lights, play calm music and have the kids lie down on cots with blankets. If you don't want your kids napping, this can be problematic. I've had conversations with the teachers and Ms. Parina (the owner) about securing more staff to allow non-napping kids to have other things to do (ie quiet activities like coloring) but no solution was ever reached during my 3 years there. I've heard pricing for babies is pretty high and babies are required to come in 5 days a week vs part time. I saw prices rise a few times during my time there as well. That said, you get what you pay for, and I believe Goddard has set the bar pretty high. I'm very pleased with the education my kids have received (heartfelt thank you to Ms. Vivian and Ms. Chetana) and I wish public school was as excellent when it came to the level of service and care we've seen at Goddard.

The school was very accommodating to our son's serious allergy restrictions. We also appreciated the level of communication to the parents - constantly keeping us in the know with detailed reports/updates on what our son is learning. We highly recommend!!!

They came home everyday being so happy and we could tell they've learned so much from school. Special thanks to Ms. Agnes, Ms. Preetika and Ms. Antonella.

Ms. Preetika is very patient, caring, supportive, and super sweet to kids. My kids are very grateful that they got yo spend the last year with them. We adore these wonderful teachers!
