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.

They didn't provide any updates when I picked my child up something like a day activity sheet so I didn't know what he ate, how was his diapers, how his day went etc. I feel that's something every daycare should have. I felt like I was buying boxes of diapers every week like they were using his diapers with other children. A few times he came home with a different brand. He couldn't use Pampers brand due to them causing a reaction, so I only brought huggies. One day he came with pampers brand on and he had a bad rash. They didn't even bother to call, they just waited until I picked him up. The payment system is horrible, they don't accept credit cards . I elected to do checks and I kid you not they wouldn't cash the checks sometimes until 2 weeks later at times. One time, they charged both checks in the same week. It was such a inconvenience for my husband and I because during tax time we couldn't elect for the daycare expense because we barely had receipts and the 2-4 receipts we had was just pointless. I knew this wouldn't be a long term daycare for my child a as a few times the director would yell angrily at the older kids like she had no patience. I believe our child was there only two months.

Lack of professionalism, lack of attentiveness, lack of compassion here…read more The staff are frequently unkind in the way that they speak to the children. The staff often appear irritated, impatient, angry and mean with the exception of the infant room (the older the child, the less patient and more unkind they appear to be). This seems to be acceptable to the owner. I've heard her be snappy with the children as well. As a side note, I would NEVER recommend anyone bring a child here with special needs. It is not uncommon for a new child (infant room) to start here, be reasonably upset and crying, and be LEFT CRYING without being offered comfort bc the staff are too busy doing other things to comfort your child. I've witnessed this various times when dropping off my own child, and have had to let the owner know that the staff needed help/the child needed comfort. They do not give any report or summary for your child at the end of the day. Most places have a slip of paper they give you, summarizing what your child did, ate, what their mood was like, if they pooped, if they slept, etc. Not that the children actually do anything all day here, other than wander around the room playing with the same old toys, trying to entertain themselves...but if you want to know anything about your child's day, be prepared to have to hang around and ask a million specific questions at the end of each day. I have never been given a lunch menu, so I never know what my child will be eating...I do ask most days and they don't provide the healthiest of options (I was shocked to be told 1 day that my son, not even 1 1/2 had fried chicken for lunch...). At 12 months they gave my son cheese balls for snack (you know, the hard, crunchy, neon orange balls of junk...perfect size for blocking the throat of a 1 year old with barely any teeth!) and he couldn't chew them. Good thing I saw it bc he started gagging on one of them. Not to mention, the "teacher" had left the room without even saying anything and left me alone with all of the children...The "juice" they give the kids looks like Kool-Aid maybe (?) and I asked that my son not be given the "juice" but he sometimes had red juice stains on his clothes at the end of the day, so they were not respecting my dietary requests for my son. If your child is breastfed, don't expect to be told in a timely manner when/if your child has run out of breastmilk... I've also witnessed various questionable interactions between the staff and children. I have even witnessed older children who cry when they get dropped off at this place in the morning. And quite frankly, I do not blame them. They probably hate it there because the staff are so mean. I've told the owner, but nothing changes. Also, if you do not bring your child in on a day when you typically would bring your child in, they don't bother calling you to check in with you/confirm that your child is with you and safe (like most other child care facilities do). The owner is irresponsible and inconsistent with cashing her tuition checks from parents on a weekly basis. Don't be surprised if she cashes at least 2 of your checks at one time (therefore, you are essentially paying double the cost of your tuition some weeks). She has done this to me on 3 occasions, despite specifically asking her not to. I'm not sure she is even allowed to do this (legally/ethically??).

The teachers we've had so far are wonderful, and the management is usually prompt to respond to concerns/messages. Food and formula are included, which is so awesome. And their curriculum is incredibly well-rounded, including world languages and yoga. They also have a nice enclosed playground for children to get fresh air on warmer days. Unfortunately, there seems to be a high rate of teacher turnover this year, at least in the younger classrooms, which can be challenging for consistency and building relationships. However, the staff who are there seem dedicated and are very caring.

There is a record of our children attending Primrose for over 2 years. We communicated our concerns directly with Ms. Vaghani and would never write a review like this if we felt she trying to work with us. The teachers and Mrs. Mims are amazing. Our children learned so much. The curriculum is excellent. However, it appears to be about money for the owners and the teachers are not supported. We witnessed the lack of support first hand from basic maintenance requests taking forever to be addressed and the leadership not supporting the teachers when they asked for help with a student safety situation in class. The office staff was dishonest with us on 2 separate occasions. We loved the teachers and everything that went on in the classrooms, but the leadership made it a poor experience. Be very careful when considering Primrose Carol Stream. Update 6/25/23 The Primrose Leadership asked us to take down this review. We will acknowledge a successful resolution to our concerns. After several emails to the owner, posting this review, and contacting corporate, we received a call from Mrs. Vaghani and were able to resolve everything. We are thankful to have the issues addressed and appreciate the closure. The Leadership Team was reflective and this can be a growing and learning opportunity for benefit of the teachers & children they support.
