We love The Gardner School! Every single employee we've encountered has been friendly, warm and kind. Our daughter loves coming to "school" each day and has so much fun. We feel lucky to have found TGS!

We had the most amazing experience having our daughters enrolled at Gardner West Loop for summer camp and preschool. The program was the perfect setting to educate the girls in the most fun and nurturing way. The environment was very positive and the teachers were so professional yet personable. We will miss seeing the staff here that helped launch our educational journey. Mrs Cornesha, Mrs Gwen, Mrs Nina and Mrs Ann were so awesome! Thank you

Compared to other daycares we've attended we've loved the community feeling that Gardner creates. The admins genuinely care about the children and know them and teachers across the building seem to know my kid as well. All the parents are friendly and warm and it just feels happy in there. We've also appreciated the dedication to safety - from the building structure itself having a lobby and double locks to the diligence when going to the park - we've never had to worry. The only challenge we experienced so far was high turnover in the toddler classrooms, but it seemed like a difficult staffing situation and my child seemed to be happy throughout.

My child is learning so much! He loves his teachers and loves his daily schedule. He gets plenty of play time and has friends. His soiled clothes always come home and the school is very flexible with accommodating therapists, drop-off and pick up time.

Friendly staff and teachers. Great neighborhood with a park next door for the children to use. An organic menu that exposes the children to various foods.

Absolutely love The Gardner School for my 5 month old girl. Both of her teachers (and all of the Infant team members) are so caring and passionate about helping her developmental growth. The school itself is always a positive environment, hosting amazing activities and events for kids & parents as well as I appreciate the building security & constant in-app updates of my baby in her classroom!

TGSW has truly been the best place for our son. The teachers are incredible, and we feel completely at ease bringing him to school each day. He genuinely loves going to school—he’s made such a wonderful group of friends, and every classroom experience has been amazing. The monthly activities, dress-up days, and fun celebrations keep him excited and engaged, and we’ve been blown away by how much he’s learning. He can already spell, count to 100, and continues to grow every day. Thank you for creating such a safe, joyful, and enriching environment for him while we’re at work—we’re so grateful!

The teachers at TGS West Loop are truly phenomenal. Our older son attended from 15 months through Pre-K, and he was more than prepared for Kindergarten. Our almost 1-year old has been thriving in the Infant classroom and has already learned so much. We absolutely love TGS West Loop and have made some of our closest friends through this school.

We LOVE our teachers (Ms Kim & Mr Martin), but all of them are wonderful. Ann & Cheyenne are great and accommodating as well. My son loves school.

I feel our children our so nurtured—and challenged—at Garnder. The teachers and staff truly seem to care about each student and they are invested in the students doing better. There does seem to be a lot of teacher turnover and/or teachers shifting around among classrooms, but each new staff member seems equally as invested, so that is good. I'm impressed by the events and projects, and our children are so happy there.

Ann is very approachable and excellent at her job. I would like to thank her, Ms. Denisse, Ms. Kathrine, Ms. Nina, and Ms. Aquimi for the great education they provided to my child.

I love all the unique activities and crafts the school includes in the curriculum for my son. He is 1.5 years old and is excelling in his development because of the attention to helping his skills.
