  Absolutely the best!!! Our son has been with Luke’s other friends from 3 months through preschool. It is amazing. Staff turnover is low and they are so sweet and caring. Arts and crafts and activities are wonderful. The outdoor playground is huge and great for the children. He has been potty trained and started preschool learning on track. Family activities are terrific. Luke’s other friends is truly special.

  My family had the best experience! All staff are warm and welcoming. Our little one was always happy and eager to go to school. We loved all the activities that the school had for the children and families. She learned a lot and we feel that she is ready for kindergarten. It was our first year here but we could see how a community was developed for other families with more years coming to this program. Our family couldn’t be more grateful for all the work with our child. And the peace of mind while we were at work was priceless! I’ll recommend your program any chance I have. Much success in the future! Thank you for everything Luke’s Other Friends, we’ll miss coming here!

  I couldn't be happier with the care my daughter receives at Luke's Other Friends. From the moment we walked in, I was impressed by how clean, safe, and welcoming the environment is. The staff truly go above and beyond – the teachers are attentive, nurturing, and clearly dedicated to each child’s growth and happiness. One of the things I love most is how engaged the children are every day. There’s a perfect balance of fun and learning, with creative activities, hands-on play, and even field trips that keep the kids active and excited. My daughter comes home smiling and full of stories, which speaks volumes. If you're looking for a daycare where your child will be well cared for, stimulated, and genuinely loved, I highly recommend Luke's Other Friends. It’s truly a special place!

  Luke’s other friends in goshen is truly been the best child care for my kids. I had two children attend full time for years and they absolutely loved all the teachers and staff they interacted with. Jen and her staff care, go above and beyond for the kids and truly care. The curriculum for the kids is fun and engaging and events for parents and children are always beautifully done. During our time at Luke in friends, my family needed community support for a tragedy we were facing, Luke and friends stepped in and helped us in more ways we could ever thank them. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for childcare!

  There are not enough words to truly capture the gratitude we feel for having found Jen and Luke's. We were one of the first families to enroll our kids when Jen opened in 2021. Our son was 4 at the time and our daughter was turning 1. Our daughter experienced each program Luke's has to offer (the baby room to the 4/5 year old room) and we were beyond impressed with the care and education each program had to offer. The staff is more than staff - they are your friends and an additional source of love and guidance for your child. Both my kids still refer to Lukes with such fondness and love. We are so blessed to have such beautiful memories with them.

  I cannot say enough about Luke’s Other Friends. The entire staff and Jen are the most amazing people who care so much about our little ones. Both my girls have come so far and with my oldest leaving for kindergarten this fall she is more than ready, and I as a parent feel so confident in her year ahead. If you want a warm inviting and caring place where you feel secure as a parent to leave your child look no further than Luke’s Other Friends.
