My 3 year old started school at Clarksburg Little steps on opening day and he has grown into an independent, well-spoken, and determined 5 year old. He has been introduced to concepts in practical living that are life-long skills and will serve him well for years to come. He feels as he has the freedom to explore and extend his thinking in a safe, clean, and caring environment. At first I felt like the Montessori style seemed like magic that kids will roll out a mat and calmly work with a material, putting it away when they're done, etc. It of course takes time to teach them this, but I am a believer after seeing the progress our son has made. He also takes pride in the independence he has gained and when he successfully accomplishes a task. We feel so lucky to have found a school where our son seemed to be thriving at. We have been very pleased with Clarksburg Little steps. Thank you for everything!

As a grandparent picking up my grandson there I would say the teaching staff was always lovely. I…read morewill also say to their detriment is that La Petite is concerned about their money first and foremost . My daughter gave a full time tuition. They made her sign a paper stating when the child would be dropped off/ picked up even though her work schedule was variable weekly ... and they knew that. If she arrived later than the time they made her state then they wouldn't allowy grandson to attend that day.,. Even though they received full time tuition. I quickly leadned that they did that to observe only necessary teacher - student ratios to pay the least hourly teacher wages possible. Also, many times at the end of the day, your child would be in another classroom because they had already sent your child's classroom teacher home and put them with another teacher until uou arrived .... Also to save them money. Management seems nice but is not transparent at ALL. Be wary. Get what you pay for and be sure to ask about full time tuition and open hours . Bonus : They also like to send kids home for any health reason they can imagine.

I can honestly say that I am beyond grateful for the family we have found at La Petite. The staff and teachers care. They love my daughter, they nurture her, they are shaping her to be a wonderful human during some of the most important developmental years of her life. It brings me joy to know that when she's not with me I can rest assured that she is still being loved and cared for by people who want to see her be happy and succeed in life. This place is an extension of home. I will be forever in their debt for helping me raise such a great kid.

I had 2 of my children attend the Goddard School in Urbana over the course of the last 2 years. It…read morestarted out great & wonderful, the upbeat of the teachers and the kids loving the School. However, as time has worn on, it seems like the true colors of the school has shown themselves. The owners of the School (in particular Jill) seems to be all about the money. I don't understand how they can justify increasing the costs each & every single year (when they already charge an arm and a leg for tuition across the board) & they say it's due to them losing their talented teachers to the local Public Schools. Jill thinks throwing more & more money at the Teachers will make them want to stay at Goddard. I think the reality is why don't you create a better culture and focus more on the environment for the Teachers to be happy in. They even created a Kindergarten program for the first time this year. Instead of the classroom being located inside of the building, they added a Trailer outside of the building next to the Playground. It seemed as though the class was totally separate from the School itself (literally & figuratively). There were also many times throughout the year when we received conflicting messages/emails between the Goddard School & the Kindergarten classroom on different activities & events. At times, this caused us confusion and many emails/phone calls to the school to determine what was really going on. If you are looking for a quality Pre-School located in Urbana, I would HIGHLY recommend going with Kid's Villa Learning Center. Save yourself the money & the headaches

This is our little one's first year at Goddard (Urbana) and we could not be more please. I thought…read moremoving to a new town and a new school would be a bit overwhelming for her, but with Goddard's help she took it all in stride. They embraced our little granddaughter and the responsibility for her learning care with all the gusto we could hope for in those charged with caring for her for a significant part of her day. Now five, she gets up each day knowing and excited that something new and different awaits her. Learning is everywhere and concern for her well being is front and center. Be it their attentiveness to her numerous allergies or their proactive eye towards seeing that she is in the right level and with the right classmates so that she continues to be challenged, the school is a great fit for our always curious grand baby. An added bonus has been the daily sharing by email of her progress as she navigates a balance of guided work and learning play that the curriculum affords each student. I'm confident she has been well served and will be more than kindergarten ready in the fall, but her time at Goddard will not have ended there. Being just steps away from her new primary school, we will be taking advantage of Goddard's before and after care program giving us the reassurance that she has a safe and nurturing place to get homework out of the way and be with friends until we come to collect her. We've never had second thought about enrolling her.

The teachers who and aides are fantastic and always greet you with a smile. We love that LHP keeps us updated through the Brightwheel app about our child's week. It's a wonderful and affordable alternative to full-time care. Honestly, if your child were in full-time daycare, you're paying for a two-hour nap. If your schedule allows, I highly recommend LHP! A few things to know as of 2025: -It's part-time(9:30a-1:30p). -Potty training is suggested prior to starting. -They host family sing-alongs around the holidays. -It's located in a synagogue, so you'll need to pack a kosher-friendly lunch. We are currently in our third year of going to LHP and we have zero regrets!
