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.

My kids are happy and have always felt safe. Anytime I've had an issue, the center leaders have always kept an open door to my concerns and have collaboratively worked through it with me. We visited a few daycares in the area and for us, they were clean, the most reasonably priced for value and was most convenient for us in terms of location and hours. My sons have love their teachers there, I keep in touch with many and they are all very caring and sweet to the kids. This center also has a webstream service so I can look in on my kids in their classroom or common areas of play. Good security as you'll receive permitted key access to the building. Center director and asst directors are up front and they know all the parents. They really keep an eye on the kids. Apps notify of drop off and pick up times, bathroom time (until trained) and how much food was eaten. Pics are also shared on the apps as well. There's a monthly newsletter, and food menus that outline weekly meals. They provide breakfast, lunch, and an afternoon snack and to go snacks during pickup. Highly recommend our daycare, we feel lucky to have found them. Also good covid measures taken and they follow CDC guidelines. Kids and teachers and staff are masked.

I cannot say enough good things about the staff at Mini Steps! As a former employee (director…read morequalified) of five years at KinderCare and an early education major, I held Mini Steps to high standards going in. I must say, I was pleasantly surprised to realize that I could drop my children off at a "non-chain" daycare and receive exceptional care at an affordable price. My youngest son started attending Mini Steps when he was only 10 weeks old. As a single mom, nothing was harder for me than leaving my newborn at daycare while I went to work every day. The quality of loving care and nurturing that he received on a daily basis from Ms. Marie and Ms. Jan was beyond any of my expectations. I quickly felt at ease leaving my newborn at Mini Steps in the loving and capable hands of the staff there. As my newborn grew and moved up to the toddler room, the transition was so easy and natural because he was already so comfortable and attached to Ms. Jan. From the toddler room he moved on to the 2s room with Ms. Sarah and again, I have nothing but amazing things to say. Ms. Sarah loved my son as she loved her own, and I knew that he was in the best hands possible. In the 3s room with Ms. Robbin and the 4s room with Ms. Barbara my son grew into the adorable, stubborn, hard-headed, sweet, hilarious, and smart child that he is today. He loved going to school and playing with his friends, and I loved how much he was learning through play and not even realizing it! My oldest son was a schoolager when he started Mini Steps in first grade. We both love Ms. Kay and cannot say enough wonderful things about her! She is a teacher and friend to her students, which can sometimes be a hard combination, but it comes as second nature to Ms. Kay. Not only is she caring and compassionate, she is strict when she needs to be. I recently purchased a new home in a new school district and had no other choice but to remove my children from Mini Steps. I cried on their last day. How do you say "Thank You" to the amazing teachers who helped you raise your children for 5 years?? Words just don't seem like enough. Tracie and Moe, thank you for giving me peace of mind every single day for 5 years while I was away from my boys. Thank you to the entire staff of Mini Steps for loving my boys the way I do. I will forever be grateful. xoxo

Both of our boys have been there since they were infants, and they absolutely adore their teachers and look forward to going each day. Ms. Ahmed in the infant room is truly exceptional--warm, attentive, and deeply experienced. It's clear how much she loves and cares for the children, and the consistency she brings has meant so much to us over the years. Our school administrator, Ms. Dharti, is equally wonderful. She is highly involved, frequently present in the classrooms, and goes above and beyond to ensure that both teachers and students have everything they need to thrive. Every teacher we have had has been incredible with our boys! What stands out most is the nurturing, supportive environment combined with a strong commitment to Montessori principles. The classrooms are thoughtfully prepared, and there is a genuine emphasis on each child's individual growth--academically, socially, and emotionally. We have seen our boys grow in confidence, independence, and curiosity in ways that have exceeded our expectations. We truly cannot say enough positive things about this school and would wholeheartedly recommend Kripa to any family looking for a caring, high-quality Montessori environment.
