    Batavia Kindercare will forever hold a special place in my heart. This building is truly full of…read moresome of the BEST humans you'll ever meet. The genuine care they showed to our kids (and our whole family, honestly) for the past four years has been extraordinary. My kids were happy to walk through those doors every single day. We were always greeted by smiling staff members. The kids learned so much from the curriculum they used. The teachers made everything so fun! (Ms. Pam, our kids were talking about your St Patrick's shenanigans JUST today- you created memories they'll never forget). We took advantage of the phonics enrichment they offered (Ms. Alison, we love you!) All kids also received some Spanish curriculum, too! We received pictures, notes, and updates daily through their app. The directors, Ms. Rachna and Ms. Alyssa, are simply wonderful. They work so hard to make the center a true community, and we enjoyed all the daycare parties they hosted outside of normal hours to allow families to connect and socialize. Our kids were safe, well-fed (thank you, Ms. Jackie!), loved, and engaged every day. Leaving this place for elementary school was genuinely so difficult because of the relationships we built here. If you're looking for a "home" for your littles, do not overlook this exceptional place.

    This center is absolutely amazing and the staff are the best. My son LOVES going to "school", looks…read moreforward to spending time with his teachers and friends. Before Covid they had an open door policy and I saw him all the time in the infant room. They are responsive to me and attentive to him and I am so glad we have this school a chance.

    OK this review is solely based on the fact that Learning Ladders changed ownership in June 2011 and…read moreis renamed The Giving Tree. Many changes for the worse have come about. This daycare under Learning Ladders was the friendliest little grandma run business where there was virtually no turnover in staff, and the kids loved being there. Now, it's turned into a corporate, prepay your kid being there, hardly anything for lunch/snack kinda cold, inpersonable daycare named The Giving Tree. The old Learning Ladders staff is a rare find here nowadays, and many, and I mean many families have stopped going here. Trust me there are friendlier and healthier enviroments for your kids to go to instead of this place, check out Rory's in North Aurora.

Unfortunately it was time for her to retire and she sold the business to What it is now, The Giving Tree. I couldn't get Andrew out soon enough. While I was patient enough to wait out the adjustment period, it never ended, and never stopped being the excuse a year later. My son NEVER had the same teacher for more than 2 weeks as turnover was horrendous. While the location had a director, she could never make any decisions without contacting the owner. The owner herself, is solely in the business for the money. Each kid is a number to her and she will put that first before any other human side of a decision. I have spoken to many parents who feel the same way. DO NOT send your child here if you want them to have a nurturing and real learning experience.

We will miss this school so much and recommend this school to everyone with little ones, you will not regret it! Thank you so much to Ms. Brittney for welcoming us with open arms and always having a smile on her face, we will miss you and all the girls teachers so dearly!

    When I was pregnant with our son, my husband and I thought that choosing a daycare would be super…read moreeasy. We live near a facility and assumed that our little guy would go there - but when we did our visit, it was just ok. Now what? A good friend sends her children to The Gardner School of Oak Brook and recommended the Naperville location to me. When we checked the school out, I cried over how much I loved it (and I'm not a crier - I'm super pale and get very blotchy; it's not cute). We signed him up immediately and have been happy with that decision ever since. First, the location is easily accessible from a variety of locations - we are in downtown Naperville, but have friends who are in Aurora, Sugar Grove, Wheaton, etc. The facility is secure and requires two passcodes before entering the main area. It's also extremely clean - I wish my house was that clean... :) But the most important part of TGS is the care and attention that the teachers and directors give the kids. My son started TGS when he was almost four months old, and even though I knew the school was wonderful, it was still scary to leave him for a full day. The teachers and directors are patient, kind, and caring - both with the students and the parents! They are always available for any questions and concerns throughout the day, and I definitely checked in a lot during those first few weeks of school. They are also available for advice - as a first-time parent, I had no idea when to transition my son to the next diaper size or how to introduce solid foods. The teachers helped us with everything, and have made parenting so much easier. TGS has an app that delivers updates throughout the day. I subscribe to all the updates, so I receive notifications when my son eats, has a diaper change, takes a nap, or does any of the fun activities that the teachers prepare for the kids. We also receive pictures during the day, and we love seeing our little guy having fun with his friends. Our two years at the school have been wonderful, and we plan to keep him at TGS until they kick us out :) Seeing our son make friends and learn so much every day has been more than worth the cost to attend, and we could not be happier with the school!
