We absolutely love St. Raymond School! We have been part of the community for six years and…read morecurrently have two boys enrolled--one in kindergarten and one in third grade. It has been an incredible experience for our family. St. Raymond is a truly special community. The traditions, strong academics, and genuine care from the teachers and staff make it stand out in every way. The curriculum is both challenging and engaging, encouraging students to think critically, stay curious, and take pride in their work. Teachers provide individualized attention and support, ensuring that each child is both challenged and confident in their learning. We have seen our boys grow tremendously in their academic skills, as well as in their independence and love of learning. Longstanding events like Breakfast with Santa, the Back-to-School Bash in the fall, and the basketball tournaments--where the entire community comes together to cheer on the eighth graders--highlight the strong sense of connection and school spirit. It truly feels like a second home for our children. What makes St. Raymond even more meaningful to our family is its strong foundation in Catholic faith and values. Our boys are growing not only academically, but spiritually as well. Through religion class, daily prayer, and attending Mass, they are developing a deeper understanding of their faith and how to live it out each day. The teachers play an important role in this, guiding them to become kind, compassionate, and respectful individuals. The school also does an excellent job of helping students develop a strong moral compass--teaching them to lead with empathy, make thoughtful choices, and live their faith in everyday life. In addition, the school organizes many service opportunities throughout the year, such as collecting supplies for local veterans, gathering canned goods for the food pantry, and hosting toy drives for children in need. Older students are often given leadership roles in these efforts, helping foster a sense of responsibility and commitment to giving back to the community. What sets this school apart most is the heart of its people. The teachers go above and beyond--not only in the classroom, but in how they support and care for each child. Whether it's attending students' sporting events or sending postcards from their vacations, these small but meaningful gestures speak volumes. Not only have our boys made wonderful friends at St. Raymond, but my husband and I have as well. The parent community is welcoming, down-to-earth, and supportive. We are truly grateful to be part of such a special village. We feel incredibly fortunate to be part of a school where our boys are growing academically, emotionally, and in their faith. We couldn't ask for a better environment for them to learn and thrive. Thank you, SRS!

They consistently go above and beyond--arriving early and staying late--to ensure their classroom environment is thoughtfully prepared each day. The atmosphere is positive, nurturing, and creative, providing children with the support they need to grow and succeed. The religious component further enriches the environment, helping to foster strong values and a sense of community. Teachers are also highly collaborative, working closely with parents to support each child's development and individual needs. Kudos to the staff at St. Raymond's for their commitment to nurturing and guiding our children.

We've sent all three of our kids to Busy Bees and couldn't be happier with that decision. The Montessori instruction fosters independence and confidence in kids. People are constantly amazed at the things my kids can do -- like putting on their coats, feeding themselves, their ability to focus on tasks, etc. -- at a young age. We currently work with Elda and Gisel in the Eggs classroom, and these two teachers and their aides could not be more devoted to the children they work with. They clearly love each child, and know them very, very well. I also appreciate Busy Bees' willingness to communicate and partner with parents. As much as Busy Bees has been instructive for my kids, I've also learned a lot from the Montessori method they employ and the caring, fantastic staff they hire. We are so grateful for this wonderful little school!

Luckily we did get a chance for someone to show us around. During the tour the only thing that I disliked was the amount of clutter in the cooking area and the bathrooms. The open space in the center was nice and the kids were really friendly. Service wise I think this site could do better accommodating family's with Teachers who only need some months of the year. This place would would rather lock you in for a full year. If you are in the Arlington Heights area and only need a few months out of the year don't waste your time here; your better of not wasting time and looking elsewhere. I will add that they are also terrible about getting back to you.

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.

I've had my daughters here from pre through 6th grade. Up until this year everything has been…read moregreat. They have a new 4th grade teacher who should not be teaching children at all anymore. She's tenured and they cannot fire her. She repeatedly yells at my daughter and berates her. Today she saw my daughter showing another student a drawing, she snatched it out of her hand, crumpled it up and left her in tears until the end of the day. She intentionally humiliated her and left her in tears over showing her friend a drawing. I wish I could say this is all that happened but I've had other parents coming up to me questioning me why their own kids are telling them how mean she is to my daughter. DO NOT send your kid to fourth grade here. Mrs. Allor is her name and she should not be teaching children. My name is Jason Pierce. I love the rest of the staff here, from pre through 8th they have great teachers. I personally do not understand why this woman is working with children.

We've been part of the St. Peter's family for four years, since my son started kindergarten here…read more That's exactly what it is, family!! A family feel with an education, staff and teachers that are top notch! Our son has been thriving here since day one. We contemplated homeschooling during covid, until we found St. Peter's! It was honestly the next best thing. It was very important to us, for our son to get the proper education and keep his Faith intact!! That is exactly what we continue to get here, year after year! We knew academically St. Peter's was amazing, but we never imagined the support and prayers that come your families way, in time of need!! We have gotten through some tough times (including an unfortunate accident recently), with all of St. Peter's loving staff by our side. I couldn't imagine our son getting the love and support, that he needed to get through it, in any other school during that time. We are beyond blessed to have found St. Peter's Lutheran School in Schaumburg

The coaches are phenomenal and have really taught my girls how to be competitive athletes with tenacity and integrity. We now have more confident and happy young ladies that work harder then they ever did before. I honestly can't say enough about what an amazing experience we've had at Immanuel!

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.

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.

This morning I literally said good morning and have a wonderful day to whoever was at the front with curly hair and she didn't even make a sound. The teacher also seems to be extremely sarcastic about anything with these school age kids room. I'm honestly going to reach out to their corporate because they have just declined and this was a daycare I raved about for years and sent many families too. Such a shame since they are so more expensive than most in the area.
