I think, it's a non-for-profit school, and therefore, they don't advertise their services. My kid is a 10-year old boy, and although he doesn't always want to go this school because of the extra work, he understands, how much it benefits him to attend classes there. Now, he is one of the best students at his regular school and attends an advanced math class! He also gained some programmer's skills at Stella Academy and built his own website. We are really proud of him. I hope the owners of the business wouldn't mind me opening this page. I just thought that more people should know about it. The teachers are good (Paul is our favorite), the prices are very affordable, and kids get really smart there.

After withdrawing him last week (30 days notice required), we drop him off today to find his cubbie gone and no one even greeting him. This place is so unprofessional! The teachers here are unresponsive and lazy (1 to 5 kids ratio), yet all these incidents keep happening. This child care is a joke and is a glorified "kinderCare" with more $$. I would not recommend bringing your kids here.

Absolute Nightmare I'd avoid at All Costs! I regret to my…read morecore ever trusting KinderCare In Buffalo Grove with my child. Everyone was friendly during the initial tour, but the reality was complete opposite, raising serious safety and quality of care concerns. The food they serve is ridiculous. They have a menu but rarely follow it. I've walked in at meal times and food is rock hard, cold, and super repetitive and rarely any proteins. Not to mention the portions are ridiculous. On top of that the facility consistently felt understaffed, children often left with inadequate supervision. I'm shocked how so many parents feel safe leaving their children at this facility.

Every…read moreyear that passes, my appreciation of not just the school, but the standards and staff grows. It is run systemically and professionally, but there is still so much warmth every time my family walks through the doors. I've considered other schools but after taking a summer off to try a different summer camp, we came running back to Primrose! I'm extremely grateful for Jenny and Rich + the entire team that helps run the school. The teachers truly care and it always shows.

Immediately, we noticed a huge difference in the way the teachers are treated by management and how that reflecTed onto the teaching of our 2 daughters.

Every single teacher we've met has been so loving, patient, and kind, and it's clear how much they genuinely care about the children. A special thank you to Ms. Christina, Ms. Sravini, Ms. Hari Priya, Ms. Lupe, and Ms. Bre. Each of them has gone above and beyond in ways big and small--whether it's giving extra comfort on a tough morning, celebrating the little milestones, or noticing the tiny details that make such a difference in our son's day. Christina and Sravini, in particular, have cared for him like he was their own. They've always looked out for him, picked up on his needs even before he could express them, and supported him in ways that helped him grow not just academically, but socially and emotionally too. As parents, it means so much to know our child is surrounded by teachers who truly see him, nurture him, and want the best for him. We are beyond grateful for the love, attention, and encouragement he's received here, and we feel incredibly lucky to be part of this community.

We followed the Director, Sarah, here from the Northbrook location something like SIX YEARS AGO…read morewhere she had been serving as the assistant director. She is phenomenal and even if you do not put much stock into reviews in general, the proof should be we followed her to an entirely new school and now have our third child at the school... by the time we are done with this one we will have been with Sarah almost ten years! This Gardner School is fantastic. It starts with the leadership at the top and is felt all the way down, but you cannot miss the attention to the detail and just how great this school is. First, they are great with the kids. Seems basic, but needs to be said. From the 2 rooms through every room we have experienced the teachers and staff know how to make kids happy, healthy, safe, smart, etc. Second, the actual programs at this school are unmatched. The core programs in the classes are fantastic and are some of the best planned out things I have seen any school offer for kids this young. Not only that, but the extracurricular actives offered are diverse and awesome. The new assistant director has been excellent putting together these programs and provides awesome photos/videos. Yes... they do cost extra money, but (a) you easily get the value out of it, (b) you get to expose your kid(s) to things you may not have the time to outside of school because of things like work and (c) the kids love them. Third (and I'll make it last), the communication is unbeatable. I cannot oversell this! The staff and teachers are always receptive to conversations, feedback, etc. (I talk to Sarah more than I talk to my mom)... and the teachers are great with the app they use. Even if something doesn't go accordingly to plan at the School it isn't a complete disaster because the School actually communicates with you and you feel fully in the loop. The pictures, updates, etc. on the app make getting through the work day so much easier. Anyway, as a growing family we have moved from Morton Grove to Highland Park and have experienced different daycares/Schools. All have positives, but the Gardner School is far in away the best school ever. This location in particular has something special about it! There is literally no one in my life I wouldn't recommend this school to. No one asked me to write this review, but I really do feel passionately about the school and want to support it in anyway I can. Best decision you will ever make.
