We love the Gardner school! The staff is lovely and have helped us all adjust to being in day care. The curriculum is so fun and my little one is learning so much. We love Ms. Dani!! Everyone is warm and welcoming and genuinely caring. Highly recommend.
Chelsea MassinoMar 27, 2026We love Gardner South! We have been going there since my oldest was 6 months old and he is now 3! My younger child has also been there since 3 months and is thriving. I always feel so comfortable dropping my kiddos off everyday knowing they are in excellent hands, the communication is phenomenal and I never feel in the dark on how my kids are doing. We have loved so many of the teachers at Gardener South! Currently my oldest son is with Ms Dawn and Ms Kelly and he adores and respects them both! He frequently talks about them with much admiration when not at school. My younger child is with Ms Morgan and Ms Joesline and even though he is too young to tell us what’s going on, their timely updates make me feel at ease! I feel so lucky to have found Gardener South!
Christine NelsonFeb 27, 2026Thank you to the wonderful teachers, Ms. Jaclyn and Ms. Rukhsora, for fostering a nurturing and disciplined environment that allows young minds to thrive. Their bright smiles and morning greetings make the kids eager to start their day. It's truly heartwarming to see them care for the children as if they were their own.
lakshmi saujanyaFeb 25, 2026We are so glad we found this place. Our kids absolutely love it here. From day one, the environment has been safe, clean, and welcoming. The staff genuinely care about the children and create a nurturing space where they can learn, grow, and build confidence. A special shout out to Ms Toni, Ms Brenda, Ms Rachna and Ms Mia. They are truly amazing. Their patience, kindness, and dedication do not go unnoticed. They treat the kids with so much love and attention, and it gives us complete peace of mind knowing our children are in their care. Highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a supportive and caring.
Shazia ZoebFeb 13, 2026We are so happy we made the switch to Gardner last summer. From our visits before switching and the day she started, it has been clear how much Ms. Tonie truely cares about the children. Both her and Ms. Brenda are attentive and genuinely invested in each students well being and development. Ms. Tonie is always helpful and takes time with answering our questions and even helping us through tough transitions and situations at home! Most importantly our daughter is thriving and we have seen her growth. All the staff is very nurturing and supportive! I am so happy to have found this school!
Shermin TejaniFeb 11, 2026We have been continuously impressed by the outstanding care, love, and education our two children have received during their years here. The teachers are exceptional. Ms. Toni, Ms. Christine, Ms. Lia, and Ms. Jaclyn, to name a few, have made a huge difference for our family. The admins, Brittney, Kate, and Lizzy, are incredibly helpful and supportive as well. The private kindergarten program is also fantastic and truly set our child up for success both academically and socially. We cannot recommend TGS South Naperville enough. It is simply a wonderful school!
