My daughter goes to the Goddard school in lake in the hills. We love it and would recommend it to anyone looking for a structured quality childcare. There is an open house on July 25th (at the Lake in the Hills Goddard) from 10-noon where you can go and meet some teachers and the owners and bring your kids to enjoy the activities. It's a good time to visit and meet other parents whose kids go there and actually ask them what their opinions are. The owner of the Lake in the Hills school sent her girls to the Elgin school up until she got her own school and I have a friend who sends her son to the St. Charles school. Have heard great things from all 3 places. What sets Goddard apart from other schools is that the owner is on-site and has a vested interest in a "full" school so they want you to be happy with your decision to place your child there. The owner is not the principal/director which is a point of difference between Goddard and many of the other "chain" childcares.
I'm sure you'd be happy sending your little ones there. When it came down to making a decision for our family Goddard won with Chesterbrooke coming in 2nd, absolutely nothing positive to say about any of the other local choices I had.
