The school truly feels like family. The directors + front staff are amazing and you can feel the natural passion they have to work with kids and provide them a safe and happy learning environment. The Pre-K teachers are outstanding. We had Miss Karen and Mr. DeQuan and they prepared our child for kindergarten while nurturing and forming bonds with all of the children.
The teachers, assistants, admin, the healthy/organic food, the huge shaded playground, and the fun crafts all make Gardner a great place! My daughter is always greeted by name and they know her interests, favorite color, etc and bring them up when we say hi/bye. The school is awesome.
The teachers at the Gardener School have come to love my baby so much more than I could have imagined. Every morning we are greeted with smiles and excitement and every afternoon we get waves and bye bye's from his favorite staff. Nothing means more to me then on his first birthday, when his teachers set up a "First Trip Around the Moon" photoshoot for him. My heart absolutely melted and brought me to tears. Being at a school that cares just as much about your kids milestones and celebrates along side you is the absolutely best feeling. Choosing the Gardener School was the best decision I have made for my baby.
Our family loves TGS! We started a few weeks ago and as first time daycare attenders, I was nervous. But the teachers and director made us feel like we were at home from day 1. The teachers are all so communicative, engaging, and experts in childcare. I love the socialization our son gets each day and the staff make it easy to feel like he's getting the best care and attention.
We only transferred into the school 3 weeks ago from another Gardner but it has been a seamless and wonderful experience. The administrative team was very on top of our onboarding - ensuring we were all set up the first day upon arrival. Our daughter’s direct teachers have been nothing but wonderful. They immediately took your daughter to ensure she felt safe and comfortable in her new room. Drop off support if there was any sadness is always there and we get consistent pictures and updates throughout the day. We already love Miss Sarah and Miss Kelly so much and really appreciate all their effort and support.
With the administrative changes, Gardner is our home away from home where everyone in the family feels welcome, safe, and happy. Our kids love coming to school everyday. Have to callout the Mr Jadyn has been amazing.
Our child very much enjoys going to school each day and interacting with her friends and teachers. Her teachers have been very friendly and created a warm, welcoming and nurturing environment for her to learn and grow each day. It is nice that the playground has plenty of shade for hot sunny days. The administrative team is very welcoming and we appreciate their willingness to answer all of our questions and that all parties (admin, teachers, staff) partner with us as parents to best support the care and development of our child.
I can not say enough good things about our experience with Gardner. The entire staff is fantastic and we feel so comfortable leaving our daughter there each day. They go above and beyond in all ways!
All the teachers and staff are very friendly. Can tell that my kids enjoy going to school there.
One small recommendation would be to ask the teachers who do not have kids to park their cars towards the back of the lot to ensure there is more open space for parents towards the front door during drop off.
Our 3 year old has been at TGC North Naperville for the past 18 months and we love it. Lot of credit to Ms Erica, Colleen and Julia for managing this center. The teachers are caring and love the curriculum and facilities!
We've been sending our daughter here for the past 4 months and have had nothing but positive things to say! The staff is very friendly and take such good care of her. They are very receptive to our feedback, as well as help us with things they see with her every day. While there is some turnover (as at any daycare), most of the staff has been there for a long time and you can tell they love it!
Very engaging everyday. I appreciate all of the fun activities that my child gets to experience. She is very happy to go to school and never wants to leave. A whole different experience than her previous school. We’re glad that we found you all!
Our kids are so happy at Gardner. Since the leadership changes last year, the school has transformed into an amazing place where everyone is kind, considerate and happy. The teachers all seem to feel supported. We absolutely do not regret our decision to return to Gardner after a brief switch to another daycare.
