  Choosing a daycare can be daunting, but transferring to this location has been the best decision for our family. Ms. Tina and Ms. Cat are absolutely amazing with my daughter! As a first-time mom, I was incredibly anxious about transitioning my baby away from the bottle. I reached out for advice, and Ms. Tina went above and beyond—sharing best practices, providing daily feedback on how the transition was going, and completely putting my mind at ease. It is so comforting to know that they truly have my daughter’s best interests at heart. I genuinely feel like I have great partners in childcare, and I always feel completely comfortable reaching out to them for guidance. The safety and attentiveness here are also unmatched. Since transferring from our previous daycare, we haven’t received a single report of our daughter getting hurt, which speaks volumes about how closely they watch the children. Every time I walk in, the staff and supporting teachers are fully engaged—I have never once seen them distracted on their phones. They are incredibly caring, attentive, and wonderful at what they do!

  My daughter, Hazal, started The Gardner School in June 2025. She was shy and rarely interacted with others outside her family. I needed help with potty training and building her confidence. She started her summer school classes with Ms. Zoey and Ms. Ari, but she found them challenging because they were new to her and outside her comfort zone. Later, she joined Ms. Gia’s class, where she met an amazing teacher. However, Hazal wasn’t happy with her classmates and struggled to adjust, despite having two good friends.. One day, she attended Ms. Sana and Ms. Lulu’s class, and she’s never been happier at school. I switched her to Ms. Sana’s class, and since then, she’s excited to go to school. She was potty trained in about two months. She loves spending time with Ms. Lulu and Ms. Sana. The Gardner School provides everything a parent would want to nurture their children and help them bloom. Ms. Angelika, Ms. Natalie, and Ms. Stephanie are doing an incredible job with their team of other teachers. They are always responsive to your queries on time. TGS transformed my shy toddler into a brave and independent individual. I couldn’t be happier with the positive impact it has had on my child’s life.

  Our experience at The Gardner School in Yorktown has been absolutely wonderful, especially in the Imagination B class led by Mrs. Sana. Mrs. Sana Noaman is truly exceptional. Her dedication, love, and genuine affection for the children shine through in everything she does. She is incredibly engaged with her students, always present, attentive, and intentional in her interactions. It’s clear that teaching isn’t just a job for her — it’s her passion. We’ve been especially impressed by how she balances nurturing care with a strong, thoughtful curriculum. She focuses not only on academics but also on building independence in meaningful ways. From basic life skills like self-care and responsibility to early academic foundations that prepare them for the years ahead, she thoughtfully guides the children every step of the way. Our three-year-old son has grown tremendously under her leadership — socially, emotionally, and academically. The Gardner School overall is a fantastic school with a warm, supportive environment. However, we feel especially grateful for Mrs. Sana. She is truly making a difference in our son’s life, and we cannot thank her enough for the impact she has had on his early education. Thank you, Mrs. Sana, for everything you do every single day.

  Words can’t express how much we love The Gardner School Yorktown. Our two daughters go there and they are so happy to go to school. Their teachers Miss Pam, Miss Angel, and Miss Nayely are so kind and loving and we feel so comfortable leaving our children with them. We know they are safe and wel cared for. Our toddler has really flourished at school, and our infant is quickly learning how to nap and eat and play thanks to the wonderful teachers. The teachers are second to none. We love our school so much!

  Choosing a preschool is such a big decision, but we couldn't be happier with The Gardner School - Yorktown, in Lombard. The teachers truly treat the kids like family. A huge thank you to Ms. Kate, Ms. Pam, and Ms. Angel—they go above and beyond every day to make sure the kids feel safe, loved, and excited to learn. My children comes home happy every single day, and I’ve seen such a boost in their confidence and social skills.

  My son is currently in the 2s classroom with Ms Pam and Ms Angeles. 2 year olds can have big feelings and lots of transitions and these teachers handle everything with patience, understanding and genuine kindness. My son has learned so much in their class. His vocabulary has grown tremendously, and their consistency with potty training has made it feel like a team effort between school and home. Beyond the care they put into curriculum and learning at this important age, they make sure the kids have fun too. The integrate play into everything they do and help the children burn off energy. I honestly don’t know where Ms Pam and Ms Angeles get all their energy! Everyone, from former and coverage teachers to the administration, knows your child greets them by name and makes you feel welcome and safe every day. We are grateful for every teacher we’ve met at this school and are very happy with our experience at TGS.
