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.
Every staff member at The Gardner School Naperville North shows such a passion for working with children and helping them to learn and grow. We feel comfortable every day knowing our daughter is being cared for by a team of loving teachers and staff members. We love seeing the daily updates and pictures of what they did throughout the day. Our daughter is excited to go to school every day, which speaks volumes about the care the teachers provide. And she has already learned so much, from her shapes, letters, colors, and numbers to important emotional regulation skills. We are so happy with our experience at Gardner!
Such a welcoming and nurturing environment. I love the collaboration between teachers and parents and watching the relationships grow between staff, child and parent. You feel confident everyone is invested in ensuring the children thrive and enjoy their time at Gardner and that the parents are confident in their children's environment.
I like the caring adults/educators, the fact that everyone in the school seems to know every student in every classroom's name, and the personal attention our child gets.
I love that it feels like family here. The front office staff are so welcoming, kind, approachable, listen, and truly care for and want the best for all of the kids + families!
The friendly staff, Colleen/Julia are great and I feel like she has personal relationships with all the students and families/mom's and dads. I like the open communication and the app - all the responses are timely, the picture updates are great.
