Ms. Victoria and Ms. Alexis's class has such rich programming! We've been so impressed with how Eliot has developed while in their room and impressed by how much he's been exposed to this year. Thank you for all you do!

We love how the infant teachers, Shilvon, Jack and Mia are so dialed in with the newborn developmental milestones for Owen. They are truly invested in his success.

Our experience with Gardner has been much better at Bucktown than at the previous location we were at. The teachers are wonderful, calm, knowledgeable, and warm. They have let our baby practice eating/feeding skills with solids which we appreciate the support with and have been great about communication. They post pictures every day which is very important to us. The communication in the app is positive and kind. They never seem annoyed or bothered which is important. It's really important to parents that we get a sense that our child is liked by the staff and I get that feeling at Bucktown. We like the administrators communication and engagement in the school community as well.

The activities our child is doing in his classes is incredible. As a toddler and a 2-year-old, he's had such amazing teachers with creative ways to reinforce building of key skills.

We love the structure and the care Gardner provides to our son. He is always happy when he comes home from school, racing about his teachers and classmates. TGS teaches our child with new learnings and explores art and imagination, we only wish they had more outdoor time but understand the complexity that goes with it.

My son learns so much from the teachers and other kids in his class. There's a good balance of organized learning and open play time.

Wonderful, caring teachers; helpful front-desk / admin staff; lots of enrichment activities for my son (infant, then toddler room) - he is learning sign language, learning how to clean up, use utensils, socialize, all incredibly valuable for our family.

We've had some really exceptional teachers that go above and beyond to nurture our child. We have been at the school for over 3 years, our daughter has thrived. She loves going to school and has made some great friends. The Parent / Teacher conferences are very helpful in understanding the developmental goals for the class and where our child falls. We have been very happy with her progress.

I love my kids’ teachers and the attention they, and the rest of the staff give them. My 2 children also love the school and that’s a testament to how great everyone there is. I also feel the school has been a great benefit to both of my kids and it amazes me how much they are learning and growing both academically and socially.
