Our daughter had a tough time adjusting to a new school and the teachers were very helpful in working with her on the transition. Now she’s excited to go every day. We are also happy with the progress she has made with numbers and colors since joining TGS. Overall we are thrilled with our choice to join TGS.

We have been at the Gardner School for a month and are really pleased with the care and instruction our child receives each day. There are so many educational opportunities to help kids grow, try new things and thrive.

We have thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Gardner School thus far. Our daughter has so many friends and is consistently learning and challenged with fun tasks each and everyday. She gets to grow and explore on her own throughout free time. We are very happy and would recommend the school to others.

We are so proud to be a Gardner Family and we love all the teachers and admins at the Lincoln park location. They consistently go above and beyond for our girls and we could not be more appreciative of them!

Every single teacher truly cares about the kids. Almost every teacher knows every kid, which is so crazy to believe! They put on such elaborate, fun, and hands on activities for the kids. Our daughter has totally flourished and the teachers take such good care of the kids and really know them as individuals. It feels like a boutique experience!

I would absolutely recommend the Gardner School. From the first interaction of us inquiring about the school to our son’s first several weeks of school, everyone had been so kind and caring. From the beginning, they were very accommodating and answered our endless questions. Before our son started, a meet and greet with his wonderful teacher Ms. Elisa was set up. This was so helpful especially to get our son a bit more comfortable for his first day, as it was our son’s first time in a classroom environment. From there, he has been doing so well. Ms Elisa and Ms Gloria have been so patient and supportive and are why our son is adapting well. We can tell he feels comfortable with them and he is always excited to tell us about his day. Thank you TGS for helping us through this transition!

The staff was outstanding - Evelyn really connected with everybody. Events were excellent as well. We really could not have asked for a better school for Evelyn's early years!

We love the staff, facility and curriculum at TGS Lincoln Park. The staff is so friendly and it is clear our children have a great relationship with so many of them, even those that are not their teachers. Shanti is an incredible school director - she has fantastic communication, leadership and a clear passion for making it a great place for kids to be everyday. The facility is always clean, organized and easy to access, which makes everything easier. The curriculum from infants through twos (where we are now) has been perfect for our children's development and keeps them engaged/excited while learning.

We love the current leadership, Shanti and Keishla are truly a dream team. The culture feels so much better than it did a year ago, and everything seems to be running really smoothly. We’ve also had such positive experiences with the teachers. We’ve been lucky enough to have Krishna for two years in a row, and she is just wonderful — always such a calm, steady presence with the kids. We’ve also been very happy with our infant teachers, Iesha and Crystal. No complaints at all right now, everything has been great!

The staff are very kind, understanding and caring. The rooms are very clean. They provide updates of how the kids are doing throughout the day. They have an affordable drop in option.
