We love Good Shepherd Institute! The staff and director, Mrs Esther, are excellent! They really make sure to give each child individualized attention and develop plans unique to each child and their growth. We love that there are a variety of learning activities to ensure that every learner is engaged and participating. My daughter was reading at a first grade level even before starting kindergarten thanks to Mrs. Esther. While other children were falling behind, the children at GSI were thriving and advancing. In addition, they have gone above and beyond during this pandemic. Our children went everyday and not once were they sick. It really is a wonderful facility that believes in a wholistic approach to childcare. Best kept secret on the Northside!
