We couldn't be happier with our experience at The Gardner School of Schaumburg both of our kids have been students there for nearly 4 years. From the very beginning the staff has been warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in the well-being and development of our children. It's clear that they create a safe, nurturing environment where kids feel comfortable, supported, and excited to learn. The communication with the parents is excellent-we always have felt informed about our children's day, activities, and progress. The curriculum strikes a great balance between structured learning and play. Our oldest is heading to kindergarten this year and we feel she is so well prepared to move into elementary school. We are so grateful to have found a place we trust completely. We highly recommend TGS to any family looking for a caring and high-quality daycare!

The more time we've spent at Gardner, the more we have loved it for our kids. The teachers are great, you can tell they are all professionals and care about giving the kids a good experience. They are both adored by the teachers, and we only hear good things at home from our 2 year old. The hours are flexible, the feed them really well, and keep them on a good schedule. We tried other daycares before Gardner, and there is no comparison. We are very grateful for them.

Teachers are professional. My son loved a school. Unfortunately we have to move to other state in the US, they had a farewell ceremony for him. They are great teachers.

Our kiddos love coming to school and I trust that they are loved and well-cared for in my absence. I am so happy with how my daughter's food allergies are being handled as well!

Got it — this reads like a **parent testimonial** that just needs polishing and flow, not a change in meaning. I’ll keep your voice, experience, and warmth intact, just tighten it up and clean up grammar and clarity. Here’s a refined version you can use as-is: --- As a teacher and former principal, I understand firsthand the daily challenges that administrators and teachers face. Having my children attend three different Gardner Schools over the past few years, I can confidently say that this leadership team works together better than any I’ve experienced. As a parent, what I value most about my school administration experience is feeling **informed, respected, and included**. Becca, Emma, and Kim truly make the school feel like one big happy family. I appreciate the clear and timely communication—knowing what’s going on at the school, important dates, and any changes without having to chase information. When I reach out with a question or concern, someone always responds thoughtfully and follows through. No matter who you speak with—Becca, Emma, or Kim—you receive the same information, which speaks volumes about how well they communicate and function as a **great team**. I also value how approachable and visible the administrators are. They’re not just names on emails. This builds trust and reassures me that decisions are always made with students’ best interests in mind and that parent feedback is welcomed and valued. Most of all, this positive administration experience gives me real peace of mind, knowing my children are in a school where adults are organized, caring, and truly working together. As for the teachers, morale at this school is clearly high—no small feat when working with children every day. What I love about The Gardner School Schaumburg experience is that it feels **supportive and balanced**. The teachers genuinely know the children and care about their well-being, not just academically but as individuals. Both of my children enjoy learning because lessons feel meaningful and engaging, especially when classes are interactive. I also love the strong sense of community—my children talk about their friends at home, which says everything. The structure of the day gives them rhythm, helps them stay motivated, and supports their growth. Overall, my experience reassures me that my children are growing, supported, and being prepared for what’s next—not just getting through the day.

I can tell the teachers truly care about students at Gardner. My daughter has grown so much with her being enrolled in the last 6 months. She absolutely loves it and has built a ton of social skills that I believe Gardner has helped to foster.

Great teachers and admin. Responsive to our children’s needs. Potty training was a snap with Miss Kimmy, Kyra, Gina and Jianna. We really appreciate that. Miss LaKisha and Miss Maricruz have made my postpartum return to work a dream. I do not worry about my babies when they are at school. I do think 3 is too young for uniforms however, and I’d prefer if we could support local restaurants when we need to outsource meals instead of little caesars.

Even though it’s my kid first day , I am sure he is going to love going to school everyday and learns a lot from teachers and other kids ! Cleanliness is also super maintained which is important for the kids .

I’ve experienced a few challenges with The Gardner School, but I truly appreciate the teachers and directors taking the time to communicate and collaborate to find solutions. At the end of the day, it’s clear that the teachers genuinely love and care for my son which gives me comfort and confidence knowing he’s in such good hands. I’m grateful for the dedication and warmth the team shows each day, it truly makes a difference.

Excellent teachers - we stay with TGS because of them. We also appreciate that corporate is taking safety concerns seriously and installing bollards.
