Comments from parents
"This is a wonderful school where the entire staff cares greatly about its students. My girls love it here.
Jennifer G."An intimate, warm and friendly place."
Ameen G."For me, what sets Barbereux apart is their music program. Both my kids can sing songs with advanced melody lines."
David B."A frightened, introverted, socially immature little boy has been turned into a happy, inquisitive, eager young man with many friends - he just doesn't understand why he can't go to Barbereux on Saturday and Sunday."
Cathe B.Barbereux has a well-rounded program that includes music, dance, pre-reading, science and math games and experiments plus a wide spectrum of arts and crafts activities, as well as outside play—so much better than most programs.
Katja S.Thank you for all you do daily to make Barbereux a great place. We are so thankful for our choice to have our son attend this wonderful Evanston preschool.
Jodi M.Our son has really enjoyed being at the school and has grown so much in the kindergarten class. We are so fortunate that he is learning and developing in such a loving, nurturing place.
Andrew B.Our experience at Barbereux has been wonderful from the very beginning, including my own time as a student 30 years ago. Barbereux is a nurturing environment, full of play, art, and music. Our son loves going to school each day. The individual attention he receives is invaluable and I know he is receiving the best preparation for his entry into the school years beyond.
Linnea C.While the arts are being cut in schools across the country, Barbereux puts creativity at the center of its curriculum. My son is developing foundational skills for reading and writing, but through fun activities like drawing and piano concerts. And as a working parent, Barbereux offers me the best of both worlds--a great preschool education AND before and after school care. Knowing my child is being intellectually challenged, but having the ease of full-day care relieves an incredible amount of stress.
Tessa B.Barbereux has been a part of our family for five years. Both daughters have been taught, stretched and most of all loved by teachers, staff and the community at large.
Candace C.Our son really thrived in the Kindergarten class, with all the individualized attention, creative hands-on activities and enriching field trips. We love the homelike atmosphere of the school, the caring staff, and the healthy, freshly prepared meals and snacks.
Sara C.Barbereux is a warm and inviting setting for all children to flourish and grow. My son wants everyday to be a school day. I am so impressed with the skills he is learning, but more with his new-found ability to question and investigate the world around him.
Sara W.Moving here from California was a huge transition for my daughter, who was three at the time. Barbereux lovingly helped her with that transition and that is why my son is now attending.
