St. Barnabas preschool is truly special! The director, Ms. Kathy is passionate, kind and leads a well run program. The teachers are wonderful and loving. We feel so lucky our kids have had the chance to learn and grow in their preschool years at this school. My kids are always excited to go and come home with huge smiles.

We absolutely love St. Barnabas. My kids actually ask to go to school! We trust the staff completely and our kids have learned so much since being there. Everyone is so warm and truly cares about each child. We have and will continue to recommend to others.

Hands down THE BEST preschool! My son LOVES going to school here! The teachers and staff are like family. He has learned so much this year and is definitely prepared for Kindergarten. Along with growing academically he has built a relationship with God this past year that has just made this whole experience absolutely amazing.

We have sent 2 of our 3 kids here and can’t wait for the third to go also. I have never met a group of people who truly love their jobs and love kids more than the sweet people at this school. I could not recommend this school more!

My twins have gone here for the 3's class and 4's class. Each year that had different teachers, but both years my kids had teachers that were simply above the rest. From the Director, Kathy, to the office administration, Chris, and all the teachers, Liz, Rose, Sue, and Julie... there was never a time I didn't feel safe and confident that my kids were taken care of. My kids have learned a lot, and I feel that the teachers really help them grow in their learning through structured play. My kids are also learning phonics in their 4's class, which has helped them want to learn to read and build the confidence to know their letters. My kids will go to kindergarten next year, but I know that they have been given a great pre-school education, filled with support and attention from this school.An added bonus is the family friends we have made during our two years at this school. The families that attend St. Barnabas are such a caring and fun group, and we have really become a village. I'm so thankful for the people we have met here, and am very excited for the lifelong friends my kids, and us parents, have made during these two years.

Choosing a preschool for one’s child can be both daunting and overwhelming. For us, the process was easy once we visited St. Barnabas Christian Preschool. The staff at St. Barnabas is top notch. Here one will find warm greetings, creativity, kindness, experience, and a family-like atmosphere. We could not imagine any other place to send our child.

Our favorite school!!! We absolutely recommend them. This is truly a family. They care so much about their families. You will meet such wonderful people here. This is the best decision I have made for my child. She has had an excellent learning experience here. You can’t help but to be happy when you walk in here. Also this school is so clean and my children haven’t gotten sick nearly as much as they used too. The education my child has received has been top notch. A true community!!

We have been so blessed to be part of the St. Barnabas Preschool family. My twins have been at St. Barnabas for the last three years and all of their experiences have been amazing! The preschool offers a loving environment for all. They offer experiences in which my twins have developed leaps and bounds spiritually, socially and academically. The teachers’ communications allows for parents to be involved in their child’s learning. My children are so excited to go to school each day! We are very thankful to St. Barnabas!

Between both of my children, we have been attending St Barnabas for four years. And what an incredible four years we have had. This school offers so much more than an outstanding education; it offers exemplary staff and teachers .. More compassion and kindness than we've ever experienced. And a true family feel. We could not recommend this school enough! Send your children here and they will grow by leaps and bounds academically, emotionally and spiritually .

We took tours of 5 preschools between Crystal Lake and Barrington because making a decision is tough and there are a lot of options!!! Upon leaving our tour at St.Barnabas, my daughter immediately told me that she really liked the teachers and that school. She did not say the same about the other schools and our decision was made. Now it’s been just over 2 years and I can honestly say that her intuition was spot on. The teachers and all staff are amazing. The families we have met are down to earth and extremely caring. The amount of growth I’ve seen in my daughter is wonderful and most importantly I feel so so so safe leaving her there. Doors are kept locked between pick up and drop off, staff members greet everyone walking in/out during drop off and pick up, and the school is cozy all on one floor so no hiking up flights of stairs with bags or younger siblings EVER! St. Barnabas truly feels like an extended family, everyone knows (or at least recognizes) everyone and would always lend a hand if the need arised. They focus on play based learning which is exactly what kids of this age need. I am so happy we took the tour and followed my daughters intuition and I cannot wait for round 2 with my little guy!
