My son loves coming here! The teachers are amazing. Love the environment, and the communication. Highly recommend this daycare/preschool. They will be missed when he goes off to Kindergarten. read more

Now that both my son and daughter have graduated, I can share the preschool they went to. Little Golden Goose has been absolutely incredible. Between both of my kids, they have gone there for over 6 years. The owners and staff have been amazing. Life changed and they adapted to the changes with no questions asked; all they said was "anything you need, communicate." All of the teachers through out our years with the goose have been exceptional, Ms Tima has and always will be my children's favorite teacher ever. She got into a bad accident last year visiting her family, and my children cried, they wanted to make sure Ms. Tima was okay. WE are SO blessed she is still here with us today. My daughter LOVED helping Tima with anything in the classroom and Tima knew she could always count on my daughter to help her. Ms Tori, you may feel like you're not recognized enough, but you ARE. You are SO appreciated, loved, and thank you for making sure the school is the way it is. The school couldn't be the way it is, without YOU! Lastly, Bridget and your family -- we cannot thank you guys enough from welcoming our family with arms wide open, loving, caring, and teaching our children for the last 6 years. You guys have gone through changes with us and through all of that, you and the staff was nothing short of amazing, supportive people that we adore. I cannot thank you and your staff enough for getting us through it all and allowing my children to have a safe place, teaching them, and allowing them to grow into themselves. We already miss you guys and I promise to bring them and send cards. THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH. I will FOREVER recommend the goose to any family that's needing assistance. I have had golden goose's phone number on my "favorites" list and the app for 6 years, I'm not ready for those things to go away yet. I cannot thank you guys enough. read more

There are no words to describe how happy we have been to have had our kids at Little Golden Goose for the last 4 years! We have loved working with Bridget, Tori and are so impressed with the care our kids have received. Our daughter is in elementary school now, but our son loves going to school and is always so happy when we pick him up. I commend the teachers and staff for helping him reach his full potential developmentally and emotionally! He is ready for Kindergarten thanks to his preschool education at LGG. I am also impressed with their cleaning measures as our kids were hardly sick with "daycare bugs". We are certainly going to miss LGG and I will continue to recommend this school to every new parent! -- The Casci Family read more

I love this adorable and quaint little school. My son has been enrolled for a year and loves his school routine. Watching him flourish here has brought our family some much joy. His development and social skills have been very exciting to watch as he has made his way through his first year in an environment without family. And I'm sure I only have his teachers to thank! The entire Covid situation was handled with safe precautions and care. We greatly appreciated that. The new Procare app has made payments and child updates a breeze. They have been constantly updating features that make checking on your child so easy. Photos and comments are uploaded through the week which just makes my day. Looking forward to the pre-k program! Thank you LGG! read more

Little Golden Goose - Photo Update from App - Preschools Near Me - Reno, Nevada

What can I say about this school besides the fact that it's amazing! My daughter has been here for the last 3 years and has loved every moment here. They do so many fun activities and are great at communicating through their app. They also send pictures and plan a lot of activities for the parents to come as well. They have a Halloween parade/party where the littles get to dress up and feel like they're at a carnival. For Christmas the pre k kiddos have a recital which is ADORABLE! And they also keep the kiddos nice and cool with water days. The teachers we have come to love so much. Bridget and Tori are amazing, they always send updates and reminders for whatever they're doing that week! My daughter has been with Ms Fatima the last 2 years and she's a breath of fresh air. She's amazing with them and loves her kiddos so much! Every teacher here is amazing and id refer anyone here. I'm so sad to take my child away but she's more than ready for public school, this preschool has really prepared her I have no worries that she'll excel anywhere she goes. read more

I cannot say enough good things about this school. We moved from Houston to Reno for one year (July 22-Aug 23) and my son was a student at LGG from right after his 2nd birthday until just after he turned 3. This little gem turned into a home-away-from-home for my 2 year old, and honestly for my husband and myself as well. My son was in a mother's day out program in Houston before we moved, but he really blossomed under LGG's care. They have a very team-based approach to caring for the kids and we got to know and love so many of the teachers, even outside of those specifically assigned to my son's class. I love that they incorporate UNR student teachers as well and we loved and trusted them all so much that we even hired some to babysit on occasion (which was very appreciated since we didn't know anyone in the city!) Bridget really took the care to make sure we knew and understood the school before enrolling and accommodated our out-of-state location by offering us a virtual tour (and another in-person one after we moved!) She is super hands on as well; much more so than I would've expected a director to be! They use the ProCare app for tuition/messages/occasional pictures of my son, which was very user friendly. Everyone was wonderful about recommending activities and events to us as well as they knew we were new to the city. LGG also offers a bunch of experiences (Soccer Shots offered through the school and Spanish classes on Wednesdays, to name a couple) and my son truly looked forward to going to school every day. It really did feel like a SCHOOL where everyone was genuinely invested in my son's growth and this wasn't just a place to babysit him while I worked. Leaving this school was one of the hardest things about moving back to Houston and honestly we still miss this school every day (my son still talks about "Reno school") even though we have a school in Houston. If you are wondering about whether to enroll in this school...DON'T HESITATE. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone who asks. read more

LOVE this school, and appreciate them so much. My son has been going here for the last 4 years. When he started he had some issues adjusting to the daycare life. they gave me a therapist referral, since the therapist he has been thriving in school, he is now in kindergarten knowing how to count from 1-30 and say all his ABCs. This school has no only taught my son all that he needed to know to be kindergarten ready. They are also the best most warming and loving caregivers. I can not express how much I appreciate this school and Bridget the daycare owner. 1000 stars out of 5 ! My son was sad to leave. Thank you little golden goose read more

Great Preschool!!! We enrolled my 3 year old daughter this past Summer and LOVE it. The teachers are very caring and patient. The day to day program encourages lots of arts and crafts, sensory play (dyed spaghetti noodles YES PLEASE!), and storytime....Basically all of her favorites things. As a parent, I also appreciate the weekly newsletter to keep me up to date on events, weekly highlights, and the personalized behavior chart **Bonus** they lead with their values of diversity and inclusion. We loved their celebration of Black History month this past February. I highly recommend others to enroll and join the Little Golden Goose family. read more

Little Golden Goose - Noodle sensory play :) - Preschools Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Little Golden Goose is one of those places that just treat you like family. My son enjoyed every minute he was there. I am so sad that he is graduating from this school. Bridget and her entire staff are absolutely top notch. This staff made sure my son was in a safe environment and made sure he had every opportunity to grow his little mind. From the way they handled the pandemic to just everyday operations Little Golden Goose is truly the best of the best. Thank you to Bridget and her staff for treating my son like family. read more

Both my babies went to Little Golden Goose where they were spoiled with love, respect, kindness and good vibes from age 2 till 5. At school the kids learnt manners, kindness, amazing content that made them kinder ready, and oh my...made wonderful educational art projects that I still cherish. Mrs. Bridget (the owner) has a background in Education and really knows how to run the place and work with children. The school has very good teacher retention and an organized curriculum. As of location, Little Golden Goose is in Midtown, on a lovely historical building. Covid was never an issue here as all the staff follows procedure to keep the place sparkling clean. I highly recommend Little Golden Goose. My kids graduated recently and we already miss them . read more

I would recommend this preschool. They were very patient and understanding with my boys. I appreciated the weekly progress reports, monthly newsletters, and sending pictures and appropriate updates when needed. I always loved seeing my littles' artwork creations and hearing about their outdoor play. This preschool is wonderful read more

This place will kick your child out without warning to make room for their friends. They might give you one week notice and no conference or reason. Who kicks out a three year old? No community, horrible lazy pre school "teachers" and terrible new managment. Preschool is the most important time. Wow. I never write reviews and always assume positive intent, but this is devastating. This is the type of business that has no business working with children and gives real preschool teachers a bad name. read more

The Little Golden Goose is a step above the rest for us! While some local preschools only care about taking your money, the Goose cares for your child, their safety and well being, and will get your child ready to rock kindergarten. As an educator myself for nearly 20 years, I keep my standards high and the Little Golden Goose gets an A+! read more

After reviewing and visiting many care centers in Reno and Sparks a friend of mine directed me to The Little Golden Goose. Upon meeting the director and visiting the school my husband and I were immediately comfortable and knew this was the place for our daughter. Because it is small they do have a waitlist but we weren't in any hurry so we put our name on. During our wait I berated the director with questions because as a first time Mom and my first daycare experience I was worried. They answered all of my questions and were so patient with me. I can't begin to tell you how amazing our experience has been. We are so grateful for their caring teachers and small homelike feel. I cannot recommend them enough. read more

This preschool came recommended and I enrolled my son. On his first day (new kids, teachers, surroundings and routine) he was asked to be removed by noon. My kiddo had a melt down and they couldn't handle him....or didn't want to. Now I have been told they pick and choose the kids and parents to make themselves look better. To boot, I was handed references that were from the late 90's! I cannot recommend this facility. It's a shame there are such false facilities out there...kids are more important! read more

I couldn't recommend Little Golden Goose more! They are warm, friendly and have a genuine interest in helping both parents and their kiddos! The teachers take a sincere interest and listen to any concerns I may have. So thankful to have them in the Reno area! read more

We just moved to the area and were needing a preschool for our 2 year old, my friend that has a child here recommended we check out the Little Golden Goose. With three children, We have high expectations for schools. We were so impressed by the professionalism and care shown by the staff during our tour, we immediately enrolled our son. The owner truly cares about the well being and happiness of all of the children. We are thrilled with all of the social and academic bounds our son has made since being there! Our son is always so happy to go to school, which makes us feel like he loves it just as much as we do! read more

I have to leave one last review for Little Golden Goose. My youngest just left LGG because he is starting kindergarten. We will greatly miss the love, compassion, and learning from this wonderful place. In fact all of our children went to LGG! They have always been so well taken care of and leave well prepared for kindergarten. As a parent I have never had to worry about my children while I was at work because I knew they were always being cared for in the best way. The positive impact they have had on my children and myself will always hold a very special place in our hearts . Thank you for being the best of the best LGG! read more

We were recommended to this preschool by a coworker who had nothing but great things to say but when meeting the staff and seeing the preschool and explaining the struggle my son had in his previous daycare they seem to be confident that they can handle situations like that. First day of school new surroundings new teachers will be overwhelming for any 3 year old but literally three hours at school this daycare called me to pick up my son and to have a conference about my sons behavior. My poor son had a melt down and they just didn't have patience with him and this continued for four months three conferences later. They wanted to give him three chances which means 3 days we are paying them just so our son will be kicked out and if he had a melt down and couldn't control himself within 30 minutes he would get kicked out of their daycare. 3 chances for a three old. When we got to the daycare for this talk my son was the most upset I have seen him and that alone didn't sit right with me and his father because he is not like that. I hate to think my son was getting mistreated or not getting treated with the same patience and respect as the other kids. They just expect every kid to be perfect and the same and that is a horrible way to look at children. Would not recommend this daycare at all I will be letting all my friends and family know what has happened and have them spread the word. Sorry not sorry. read more

Reading these reviews has helped me realize that the Little Golden Goose, under an inexperienced owner, has a culture of easily giving up on children. The owner has allowed Golden Goose to become a space in which children do not feel valued or loved. The first day I dropped off my two year old in the care of the "co-director," she failed to acknowledge me or my crying child. When I was told my son was no longer welcome at the Golden Goose, there had been no prior conferences, no parent education, and no formal plan to work with us to find solutions to problems he was having. I had never even met his new teacher. This establishment needs to take a good hard look at itself. Is it the children who are the "problem" or what the adults are doing? I hope this helps others who are looking for a quality early childhood experience. read more

The Little Golden Goose is a safe, kind place that nurtures the whole child. The enchanting school has the nicest collection of kids and teachers in Reno. Coming from Washington state, it was hard to find a place that checked my long list of boxes for I am a kindergarten teacher with high preschool expectations. The staff manages to keep it play-based yet academic. I am happy that my little girl has had this early childhood experience and has met lifelong friends. The director truly is a safety first kind of a leader and for that I am grateful. read more

My wife and I are so glad we found this place. We have been so pleased in the progress of our child since he started! We appreciate the hard work the teachers put in. read more

Little Golden Goose is absolutely hands down the best preschool in town. Its locally owned, and the owners, Bridget and Bryan are passionate about their business and make a diligent effort to make every child feel comfortable and welcome and engaged throughout the entire day. The staff members such as Miss Tori, Miss Kiana, Miss Kelly and Miss Nicki for EVERY class are highly trained and come up with fun and unique curriculum every day. The school is smaller and has highly visibility so there are eyes on every child at all times. Little golden goose is sure to become your second family. read more

My now four year old started attending Little Golden Goose almost six months ago, and for a child that has been cared for only by his parents, he has adjusted beautifully to Little Golden Goose. After researching for months the different daycares/preschools in Reno and Sparks, I was delighted when my son's therapist recommended Little Golden Goose. We toured the center and spoke to the Director and felt that we had found my son's home away from home. The center is located in an inviting and charming house that has been turned into a preschool many years ago. The owner, Ms. Pat is a delight! She is on top of everything going on with your child and at the school. My son loves his teachers and knows each one of them; he makes sure to say "good morning" and "good evening" to each teacher in the center by stopping by the different classrooms. He has made many friends and loves coming home to tell me about the adventures he had with his friends that day, and of course, showing off his artwork. I was very afraid of my son being negatively influenced and losing his good manners once he started school (as I've heard happening to other parents' children); however, this has not been the case at all! The staff at Little Golden Goose have taught him more in the past six months than I could have imagined. They have reinforced his love for learning by teaching him things that are at his level. Even though the class may be working on a certain subject for the month (ocean, animals, etc.), my son gets work that is tailored to his skill level. Being a child with a hearing impairment, they have been wonderful at accommodating him according to my suggestions/instructions. I cannot say enough good things about Little Golden Goose. If I could give them 10 stars, I would! read more

We love Little Golden Goose! I love the positive discipline and creative learning opportunities, and my daughter loves making friends and crafts. We recommend them to all our friends with young children! read more
