I love that teachers! I love the community! I love how organized and communicative Ms Megan is! I love that teacher turnover is low! I love that everyone knew my daughter after only being there for a month! I love that everyone still remembers my son despite not being there for two years and also still asks about him from time to time! We made our network of community and very good friends because of Gardner! I sing its praises quite frequently!

We love the Gardner School in Bucktown. Our daughter has been there for a year and is thriving in the 3s and pre-k classrooms. It's been so good for her socialization. Our son started when he was 4 months old and I felt so comfortable with his teachers and classroom. We love the teachers and staff.

From the moment we started our kids at TGS Bucktown, it was abundantly clear that our kids were going to be in a safe, loving, caring, and engaging environment. Our daughter has grown up so much throughout her years at TGS Bucktown, each of her teachers assisting her in different growth milestones. And our son is just beginning is own TGS journey, loving his new classroom and teachers, and all the care and attention they give him! TGS teachers have helped our kids with learning to eat, stand, walk, talk, play nice, potty train and everything in between - we often wonder how we could have managed to do this all alone, if not for how much TGS has helped us. Dropping your kids off at daycare is hard, especially at such a young age, when we'd surely be wanting to spend every waking moment with them. But from the day we started at TGS Bucktown, we've known it was the only other place we'd want them to be, when unable to be with us. We love the care, the transparency, the pictures, and hard work, and flexibility and all the ways that every person at TGS Bucktown supports our kids and our family. Thank you all!

Amazing teachers. The kids love it. 7am-6pm is nice for us since we have demanding work schedules.

We are two months in and it warms our heart to see our 8 month old excited to see her teachers! They helped our whole family so much during the transition.

The engagement provided, the structure of classes and involvement of teachers, most importantly.

My toddler loves going to school and the teachers are great. The photos and videos sent daily show us the fun and educational activities they are doing throughout the day.

I love all the teachers and administrators we have interacted with, they seem to enjoy being a part of the school community and to genuinely care about their students. I also think the curriculum is wonderful - it makes me feel good to know how much she is being exposed to even just in the toddler class.

The teachers have been fantastic. Everyone who interacts with our child does so with just care and intention and create great bonds with them. Our child is always excited to go to school and see them. It makes a huge difference!

The teachers are fantastic, very caring and thoughtful. The community around the school is great. We have yet to have anything remotely negative occur at Gardner.

For enrichments, I think we should be getting quarterly progress updates, kind of like we did with the old karate class (and with other extracurriculars we do on the weekends). We are paying a lot of money for these, so it would be nice to see what they are learning and working on. For example - sports, what skills are they learning? Has my kid mastering throwing, kicking, etc.?

We love our teachers, Mrs Santa and Ms Kaia! We also like how clean the facilities are and how kind the staff and parents are to us and our child.
