The kid is artistic and I am not at all, but we both enjoy the hell out of all of it. Heather is a talented artist and educator. She has a deep understanding of art and art history. This comes through in her own work, of course, but also in how she talks about and guides people through their own projects. She is also one of the kindest people you'll meet. Heather can instantly connect with anyone--literally anyone. She helps people feel at ease and encourages their growth. This disposition, combined with her talent and knowledge, makes for an unforgettable experience. We are so lucky to have this wonderful studio in Downers Grove!

I highly recommend J. Boebinger Studio. We had an absolutely fantastic experience and would do this…read moreagain in a heartbeat! We were looking for a nice family outing to do with our two adult sons over the holidays. After a few internet searches, we called Jason at J. Boebinger to discuss making some glass artwork. He was very patient on the phone and did a good job explaining our options. He was also very accommodating regarding the scheduling. The price was very reasonable so we decided to give it a go. We were certainly not disappointed! The outing turned out to be a highlight of our trip to Chicago. We had an absolutely great time designing and then making our glass pieces of "art". Jason, the studio owner, was not only a great guide for our artistic adventure but also a very nice host. We ended up spending around 3 hours making up our pieces. We were able to pick them up a few days later, after they had been fired in the oven. Besides the great experience on that day, we now also have nice mementos of our Christmas vacation.

11 of us each picked a project and did our own DIY class. Jason was very patient with all of us…read moreand spent 3hrs coaching and helping us create our masterpieces. Fun night!

Never in my life have I experienced a private music school with teachers as exceptionally talented,…read moreknowledgeable & personable as SoR Naperville. It's a classy, extremely high caliber music school disguised in a humble, charming building and taught by humble charming people. Additionally, randomly, their bass teachers are also really, really, ridiculously cool. And smart. And funny?! And for some reason their rooms always smell the best?! Anyway, just my observation as someone who walked by it on the sidewalk once and definitely not the bass teacher with the essential oil diffuser (it's cedarwood oil). On a more serious (quarter) note: enrolling your kids here opens them to an extremely supportive, positive, driven community while at the same time exposes them to the highest caliber private & small group music instruction in Naperville.

School of Rock Naperville is absolutely fabulous! As a mother of three children, I consider School…read moreof Rock to be one of the most influential factors in their creative growth and discovery. It's about the The Music: you will be amazed with what the teachers at School of Rock will do with your child. We have done at least a dozen performances series, as well as private lessons, for years. Huge shot out to Adam and Sean!! It's about Teamwork: my 12 year old son practically calls School of Rock Napervillle his second home. It is truly like a family here! Great life lessons are learned behind these doors: Respect, Empathy, Team Skills, and Positive Communication and Affirmation. It's about Passion: my son has found his soul here. He now goes to his piano to wind down and release any stress. This is a life-long gift. We treasure this beyond words can say. School of Rock is a gem. I would recommend starting with a one week Summer Camp. Surely to amaze!!!

Sam is a highly experienced and knowledgeable artist and teacher and has a very welcoming, friendly, relaxed, and fun approach to teaching. In our class, each person works on their own piece, using a variety of mediums, and her class becomes a community, where we converse comfortably while working on our art. There is no feeling of competitiveness, but of mutual support and encouragement. Sam provides suggestions and instruction on techniques to help guide us whenever needed, and the atmosphere in the class is very relaxed and friendly. I highly recommend her art classes for people of all ages.

Fond memories for our child…read more We sent our child to Goddard school in her Kindergarten year. She had an amazing and fulfilling experience there. The administrative staff is very supportive and always jumps in for special needs. Our daughter had some tough time settling into the room with bigger kids after school and Ms. Meghan would keep her in her office until she became more confident. Ms. Moira and Ms. Taylor are always around with a smile. Our child's teachers in kindergarten Ms. Lisa and Ms. Tawana before her were hugely supportive. Ms. Lisa had a new project or activity every few weeks that kept our child and us hooked to what was happening in her class. Our child especially loved the 'Goddard bucks' program that taught her so much about being patient and financial management early on. And over the last few months, as a class, they read Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and The Adventures of Edward Tulane, all of which made for engaging dinner conversations. The memories we collected here will remain with us forever.
