Great learning center!…read more My daughter started at 13 months. She is currently 3 years old. The growth emotionally and with her education has me beyond excited for her to be in preschool with this center. She has learned letters, numbers, physical growth and they helped with her processing those big emotions famous with the twos haha. She has close relationships with all the staff, not just her current and previous teachers. She talks about school at home so I get to hear about her day as well as getting updates (photos and listed updates) through their app SproutAbout! You can also view your child so you can see them playing and interacting with other kids. I truly love La Petite and all they've done to help my daughter grow and become more school ready! They also have a very fun summer program that the kids enjoy and seeing the pics and videos from the events helps solidify that it was money well spent. Couldn't do it without you La Petite

We highly recommend this preschool to any family looking for a place where their child will feel loved and supported.

Our family has had a wonderful experience at AMT over several years. They are truly an extension of…read moreour family and have taken phenomenal care of our children - nurturing them and helping them grow, develop, and learn. We have built long-lasting friendships that have survived different elementary schools and activities due to the tight bond the children built while at AMT. The same teachers that welcomed our oldest child when we first started so many years ago are the same teachers that are seeing our youngest child off to kindergarten at the end of this year. The consistency of staffing and lack of turnover are truly unique and it is one of the primary factors that led us to AMT in the first place (and we have not been disappointed!). There will be many tears shed by multiple members of our family when our last child graduates and we move on from this phenomenal, nurturing, home-away-from-home that has been so instrumental in the development of who our children have become. We are eternally grateful for the incredible staff and administration at AMT who have made the lives of these two working parents so much easier and less stressful knowing our children are in the most capable and loving care while away from us.

Once our daughter turned a year, we started her in TGS infant program with Miss Ashley/ Christina…read moreand now with Miss Mary/Jess. I can tell she absolutely loves it and is so excited to be there. She jumps and giggles when she sees them. They always have fun activities going on (hello bubble parties ) and cool themes each week. The teachers always keep us up to date during the day with pictures and notes. I know she's in good hands. Im very type A, and searched long for a daycare. I laugh because I was so set on another daycare prior to touring TGS, and had high expectations going in. I was so impressed and the vibe was warm, that we changed our minds and decided to go here. I'm really happy with our decision!

-As a teacher and former principal, I understand firsthand the daily challenges that administrators…read moreand 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.

Had to create a new account seeing as I can't remember my ridiculously embarrassing email I used prior, that being said, pardon my lack of credible reviews. Now, on to it. My daughter has been at GBDC for a little over 6 months, not a long time, but just enough to get a good feel. From the moment we decided to go with this center I have been beyond happy. My daughter is learning basic Spanish words, as well as counting to 20, (I have an older child who struggled with this) confidently knowing all her colors and then some. This to me is very impressive. What I find even more impressive is the smile on my girls face when I pick her up. She is speaking with confidence, walking tall with confidence, and sharing what she has learning, you guessed it, with CONFIDENCE. That is not an easy task for a very keep to herself little girl, I know, I have two more just like her. That excitement she carries is straight from her teachers there at the center, and for that I am grateful! She always tells me how her lunch was, " so yummy, mommy!" Kids and teachers other than her own have treated her tiny little self with love and respect, what more can I ask for? So while I could probably keep going with my rave, I'll cut it short. I'm a little concussed as to why there are so many negative reviews on here? I guess everyone's either full of it and bitter, or just........ . There is not a bad thing to say, and I will forever tell anyone I know to send there kids to GBDC as well! Thank you ladies for all you do, and all the endless hard work to take care of my baby while I'm away! And for whoever is out there reading these reviews while endlessly searching for the "perfect" daycare for your perfect little, please don't only look at the negatives on here. I promise this center is worth the shot, if you don't believe me ask my little Bless.

A couple of weeks prior to my child being neglected and not being changed Timely, I had informed…read morethis Daycare owner that my child had been diagnosed to be on the autism spectrum! This is why my child is 4 years old and not completely potty-trained! The KinderCare just up the street understands this issue... And never blamed my child for any neglect because they didn't neglect him. Great Beginnings did. I have never brought my child there with a rash! He had a wound on his leg because this daycare did not change him for however long! So the audacity of the owner trying to shift the blame on my child not being potty trained is absolutely ridiculous... Considering he's been in several other daycares where this has not been an issue, I know where the blame lies. So we can go back and forth on this issue until we make it to court! Because I still have the pictures the day it happened. And that's the exact day I told these people my son would no longer attend this daycare! I just so happen to take him home and find the wound after. He had been giving me signals of abuse previously that I didn't understand until I found this wound. My child can't speak for himself , so I have to be the one to do so. This daycare knows that my son was unable to speak for himself... Which gave them license to neglect him! KinderCare down the street and NEVER neglected him. Or tried to blame him for his delays in speech and development! How dare you! You should be ashamed of yourself. I'm not the first parent to figure you out. The fact that you thought you could blame an innocent child shows how disgusting you are. And that you shouldn't be caring for any children. Let's ask KinderCare to provide their assessment of my child! Or the primary school he currently attends! You would look absolutely foolish! You stating that I brought my son in with a rash is an absolute LIE! If this had ever been an issue previously, why would I have said anything? He's never had a rash... And you have never reported a rash! I asked why an incident report wasn't drawn up. And the response was,' oh we hope Jax is okay why don't you come in and discuss the situation'... the reply to my initial review was an absolute lie!(ref attached )If that were the case you would have responded to my first inquiry with your phony fact! The fact that you say you can't attend to a child with special needs every half hour- just shows you were/are not equipped for the special needs that you were advised of! Which the next day there was an Autism pamphlet near the check-in! Was that some type of help? I was told that there was a speech therapy program?? Okay then why did I have to have my son assessed Elsewhere for you to understand he had speech issues for his age? There was also a teacher that previously worked there who was the only one to mention this... A week later she was gone. So this place doesn't like to employee people with actual credentials that want to help children. I think this is a place where people pass through when they realize their skills are better utilized to actually help children..., rather than neglect them for time management purposes. It's a good thing I took my child out of there! I would never step foot in this place again! So much so that I have to send my own posted envelope to get a tax document that could easily be uploaded, or sent in the mail. But because the owner is so difficult, and wants to control people is my opinion. Better me send the postage, then go up there and say what I have to say to their faces. Also I would have to record the whole incident because these people can't be trusted. Like I said before if you love your children, don't send them here. I won't go up there because I do love my child... Enough to have taken him out of that place, as well as not put myself in a situation to get in an altercation and end up in jail! I am livid that this person would actually try to say 4 months later that I brought my son in with a rash! Care to take dueling lie detector test? I'm ready! Kindercare can even attest to the fact prior to my son attending Great Beginnings, he never had rash issues despite the potty training! That's a fact. I have facts and this place has deflection. I guess they thought since my mom picked up my son the majority of the time, I would overlook this incident. But I will continue to defend my son against Any Lies! The nerve of a child caregiver, blaming an innocent child for their neglect. Had someone never appointed this ridiculous place out to me, I would have put my son back in KinderCare as I planned initially... good thing also I put him back in KinderCare in November after the incident... And they only reiterated what a true daycare it's supposed to be like... How it is supposed to function for the good of the children, and how special needs are addressed with attention, and CARE. Not neglect. Or excuses!
