We are very happy with our experience at The Gardner School, (River North). Christian absolutely loves it, and that says everything to us as parents. The teachers are super nice, caring, and attentive. The entire staff is always cheerful, kind, and very professional. We truly feel that Christian is in a safe, loving, and positive environment where he can learn and grow. We highly recommend this school!

Hours & Staffing Daily schedule from 7am - 6pm Remains open even on Chicago Public School snow days, which is very helpful for working parents who still need to go into the office. Consistently well-staffed in the infant room, which provides reassurance and continuity of care.

We love the teachers and the vibrant classrooms! The playscape is great and we love that the kids go to the park, especially in the summer. The attitude is laid back but also very focused on the children's growth and learning. All the children seem to be smiling! Our child learns something new every single day and she has grown so much at Gardner!

Our daughter has been at TGS River north since she was 5 months old, and we couldn’t be happier with the care she receives. The staff are always friendly, responsive, and truly invested in helping her grow with great habits and learning happily. She’s made wonderful friends she looks forward to seeing every day, and the program design keeps her engaged and learning. We also appreciate the enriched meal options and the variety of fun enrichment activities—she’s never bored!

I appreciate the trust I have in the teachers and staff. That my son is safe, learning, developing, and having fun with the other babies/kids. I love that my son is happy when I drop him off and just as happy when I pick him up. Daycare can be challenging for new parents and TGS has been a wonderful experience for our family!

Teachers take the time to know my kid. They know what he likes, what he doesn’t like, and when to foster his curiosity! I cannot imagine a weekday without going to Gardner and seeing my child’s face absolutely light up.

So far our child has been there for 3 weeks. The attention from the staff and management has been nothing short of amazing. We are very grateful our child is going to school at Gardner River North.

Our daughter couldn't be happier with her summer camp experience which means WE as parents couldn't be happier! The communication is stellar, the activities are so diverse making every week unique, and the meals are not only healthy but incredibly diverse so they aren't eating the same thing over and over. Thank you for providing such a safe and loving environment for our child!!
