Testimonials
I have been thrilled with Glasser. I'm a big fan of the play-based
curriculum and am pleased to say that through that play, my daughter was
more than prepared to enter kindergarten, both academically and
socially. Additionally, her artistic talents and passion were nurtured
and she is now quite the budding artist! My son has now entered Gan
Katan and he is thriving. Couldn't be happier to be a part of the Glasser
Preschool family.

I was looking for a school that had a play-based curriculum where my four-year-old could thrive. She learned the importance of cooperation and the social skills she needed to start Kindergarten. We were so happy with our choice, it made it easier to send our younger daughter. I knew, even though she was mostly potty-trained, that accidents would not be a problem because the staff is ready to help with that transition. I greatly appreciate that there are Jewish words, rituals and songs shared as part of each day’s learning, yet there is sensitivity to those of us who are interfaith families. We are blessed and pleased to call Glasser Preschool our children’s learning home. - Joan

I love Glasser Preschool. It has given my daughter a strong foundation
of knowledge and her enthusiasm for continued learning as a result is
wonderful to see. Additionally the community of friends for both her
and myself is a fantastic addition to the preschool experience.Thanks! - Courtney
We were hoping to find a part time program that would allow my child to
have fun, learn social skills, connect us more to the Temple, and
initiate her Jewish education. We have been very happy with the
transition, from being primarily at home to attending school three days a
week. She looks forward to going to see her teachers and friends,
enjoys visiting Tot Shabbat outside of Temple, and has been developing
more friendships. We find the environment supportive and friendly to
our interfaith, multicultural family. Some of my favorite aspects of
the program are the intimate setting, only 8 kids maximum to 2 teachers,
the sunlight filled rooms, and the attached play area where she can
socialize after school easily. My husband, who is not Jewish, has been
pleased to learn more about Judaism through her activities through the
school and loves the artwork that she brings home and the new songs that
she sings. - Lisa
We are currently putting our third child through the program and have been so pleased. Glasser Preschool offers a wonderful, welcoming and fun play-based environment for children as young as 2! Children don't need to be potty trained which was a huge plus. My children have learned so much and have made life long friends. My oldest is now an 8th grader and still friends with all of the children with whom she attended Glasser Preschool. The extended day and lunch programs provide an extra learning opportunity and time to bond with varying ages, and is been lots of fun for all three of my children. So happy to have such a wonderful preschool in oak Park. - Holly
We are so happy with everything about Glasser Preschool! We moved to Oak Park in January (from New York) and were so fortunate to have found Glasser! My daughter is thriving there; she comes home happy & literally singing....she is learning while also having meaningful social interactions and most importantly she is cared about and having such a positive school experience! We aren't Jewish and so going in we didn't know what to expect and we have been embraced and included in every aspect of the school....Miss Marci the director is an incredible resource, she is always available, listens and responds immediately....I've found communication to be a huge part of the school....it's a true community and I would recommend Glasser to everyone looking for a wonderful school experience for their child! - Kim W
We are so happy we chose Glasser Preschool for both of our daughters! We are an interfaith family and love that GPS is open to those of any faith. The teachers are welcoming, patient (think assisting in the potty training process on the school end) and enthusiastic. Local Kindergarten teachers have said what they need most from preschools: social preparation. The play-based curriculum addressed our older daughter's need to pretend as part of her learning process. Our younger daughter's shyness has faded while her ability to join a group activity or play well with others (a.k.a. sharing) has blossomed. Thank you Glasser Preschool! - Anonymous
Glasser is an amazing school. The warmth, compassion and love that is felt throughout the rooms is remarkable. The staff are open to suggestions, helpful and are always there to help guide our children through their first years of school. It is clear that everyone there has a love for children and they continue to educate themselves on the most effective way to reach all types of learners.
As a mother of three I feel comforted by the different approaches the teachers used to meet the needs of each of my children. The staff takes the time to get to know each individual and provides them with a beautiful opportunity to learn. The classrooms are bright and cheery. As you walk down the halls you see smiling faces, beautiful artwork and evidence of leaning.
The director, Marci is outstanding. Her ability to connect with each family, is a wonderful quality. She is always available to answer questions and she goes out of her way to make each families experience a positive one. Her bright smile greets the students each morning and she knows all of them by name! They just adore her.
My family and I feel so lucky to be part of the glasser community. My experience has been filled with great memories, kindergarten prepped students, and above all...happy kids! - Alli
