Recent parent reviews

  • We love the teachers and staff, and we love that the teachers and staff know our child well. We love to get all the updates on our child’s day, through the brightwheel app but also when we drop off and pick up our baby we love to talk to the teachers and hear stories. Everyone is wonderful. We also love the foods provided, and the fun activities for kids and families to participate in regularly. It feels like we are part of a true school community.

  • My kid was going through a hard time getting used to here. The kid was throwing up in the morning before we leave. My husband always cleaned the floor after the accident. Once he was about to close the door, and heard :”I can’t do this anymore! It is disgusting.” We took our child from this overrated pre school the same day. Teach your staff some empathy.

  • Our family loves TGS! We started a few weeks ago and as first time daycare attenders, I was nervous. But the teachers and director made us feel like we were at home from day 1. The teachers are all so communicative, engaging, and experts in childcare. I love the socialization our son gets each day and the staff make it easy to feel like he's getting the best care and attention.

  • Every staff member at The Gardner School Naperville North shows such a passion for working with children and helping them to learn and grow. We feel comfortable every day knowing our daughter is being cared for by a team of loving teachers and staff members. We love seeing the daily updates and pictures of what they did throughout the day. Our daughter is excited to go to school every day, which speaks volumes about the care the teachers provide. And she has already learned so much, from her shapes, letters, colors, and numbers to important emotional regulation skills. We are so happy with our experience at Gardner!

  • We had our son at Gardner when he was only 3 months old. Gardner school makes me feel it’s a safe place for my baby, we love all his teachers, they also offer rich curriculum for little ones, we signed up gym, music etc. as we wanted to expose all different things to my little guy. Real time communication really make me feel secured as a first time mom. Now our 2nd child, my sweet 3 month baby girl has enrolled Gardner school at Naperville, I know she is in good hands :)

  • As a parent - I am so so happy with TGS. My daughter started about a month ago in their twos class. Ms. Angie and Ms. Andrea have made the transition to a new center SO easy and my daughter absolutely LOVES school now! I cannot say enough good things about their classroom and the amount of communication and pictures I’m given daily. As a nervous first time mom, this was a huge relief and it just makes me so happy that she is happy, loved and taken care of everyday!
