The Gardner School Of Chicago

We have had a wonderful experience with Gardner School! Our daughter started here when she was only 6 months old, and she is now thriving in the Discovery C classroom. The teachers are truly amazing. Ms. Iesha is incredibly creative—our daughter absolutely loves the arts and crafts, singing, and dancing they do in class. Together with Ms. Jakyra, they do a fantastic job of keeping the children entertained while also focusing on milestones like counting, shapes, and colors. It’s so sweet to hear our daughter come home singing the songs they learn together! I also really appreciate the frequent updates; they post so many pictures and videos on their app, which makes it so fun to see how much fun the kids are having throughout the day. We highly recommend this school!

Ms. Santa and Ms. Kaia, along with the entire support staff in Classroom Fascination A at The Gardner School of Bucktown, are outstanding. They demonstrated exceptional kindness and patience during our daughter’s transition from her longtime nanny to daycare, making the process much smoother than we anticipated. During those first few weeks, they thoughtfully shared many photos of our daughter which provided tremendous reassurance and helped us feel connected and confident that she was doing well. Thanks to their care and support, our daughter adjusted quickly—by the third week, she was no longer crying throughout the day and now greets them with smiles. This gives me tremendous peace of mind knowing she is in such capable and caring hands while we are at work. I would also like to recognize Megan, who has been extremely helpful and accommodating. Her professionalism, responsiveness, and excellent interpersonal skills have made a meaningful difference in our family’s experience. We are sincerely grateful for the dedication and commitment this team shows to the children and families in their care.

My son started at Gardner when he turned two years old and he has thrived at this preschool!! I am so happy with his development, including social skills, communication skills, and academically. Everyone is so kind and caring. Absolutely love this preschool and would recommend it to all my family and friends. Miss Cassidy, Miss Raven, Miss Teresa, Mr. Noah have been incredible!

Ms. Victoria and Ms. Alexis are so wonderful! The curriculum they provide for our 2 year old is so fun and he always talks about the activities. Plus they are so caring. I never feel bad leaving my babies at TGS. Ms. Jac, Layla, and Shilvon take such good care of our infant too. She always smiles so big when we drop her off.

We’ve had a great experience in the infant room at TGS Bucktown over the past two months. Ms. Alejandra and Ms. Elisabeth have been warm, welcoming, and great partners in helping our daughter transition smoothly to daycare! We’re very grateful for their care and support along with the floater teachers, Ms Erika & Ms O'Dalis.
