The Gardner School of Warrenville - Warrenville, Illinois

We have had a great experience with The Gardner School of Warrenville. The enrichment classes are so engaging and fun. We love the updates on what the kids are working on via the app and most importantly it is clear to us that the teachers genuinely care for the students. Both our boys have been more than well prepared for kindergarten through their programs and have developed great friends and social skills as well.

Both children adapted very well and very quickly. They both had horrible experiences adjusting to daycare at Active Childcare of Naperville but they felt both welcome and adjusted very well to Gardner, credit to faculty and staff at Gardner school of Warrenville. Plus benefit of no uniform requirement.

My child has been attending The Gardner School of Warrenville (formerly Compass) for over three years. We have seen tremendous growth and progress in many areas, both from our own observations and from the fall and spring assessments the school conducts annually.

Under the guidance of his primary teachers—Lindsay, Maddie, Marci, Alicia, Daniella, Karen, and other assistant teachers—my child has learned to perform most tasks correctly and independently. We are especially grateful for the dedication and kindness of these teachers, many of whom have been with the school for a long time, contributing to the high retention rate. We are also grateful for school leaders Brynn and Brittany, along with curriculum designer Lisa. The great school team work in details to care for the kids.

The well-designed curriculum and STEAM projects engage children with hands-on experiences and encourage intercommunication, making learning both fun and effective. The teachers are incredibly patient and attentive, providing excellent care and instruction.

Our friends, whose children also attend this school, speak highly of the teachers, curriculum, classroom settings, and summer activities. We feel very fortunate to have our child learning and growing at The Gardner School of Warrenville.

We absolutely adore and love the entire staff and teachers at Gardner in Warrenville. If you are uncertain and worried about leaving your child at daycare, stop looking and sign up here! We were so relieved to find such an incredible learning environment for our daughter and are constantly blown away by all the knowledge and skills she has gained here. We are going to miss this school now that we will be starting Kindergarten in our district, but choosing Gardner was THE BEST decision we made for the safety, development, and happiness of our daughter.

My children have attended TGS Warrenville (formerly Compass) since Fall 2021 and we have had only positive experiences with the teachers and staff. The directors are so understanding and flexible to help accommodate the needs of our family. The teachers are so warm and show a true joy in working with the kids. My children have learned and grown so much in their time there! We love how many hands-on and sensory activities they provide for the kids.

My kids have attended the Gardner School of Warrenville (formerly Compass) since 2021, and we've been very happy with our experience. The teachers are caring and attentive and the directors do a great job working with families and staff. While the name of the school has changed, it still embodies the values we have loved from the start.

We love The Gardner School of Warrenville. My daughter started attending when she was 10 weeks old (when it was The Compass School) and was there for three years. She absolutely adored all of her teachers! They truly care about each child and family. My infant son just started. He has the same infant teachers my daughter had and we couldn’t be more pleased. The teacher retention rate is very high, which is not common in daycare centers and makes a huge difference in the quality of care. My son has some feeding problems and they are constantly asking what they can do to help him and are very accommodating to his needs. We drive way out of our way to attend TGS because we can’t imagine sending our babies anywhere else!

My son has been in gardner school of warrenville (compass school before) since June 2022. He went to todder class and 2-year class when he was younger and now he is in 3-year class. He likes all the teachers and classmates in those classrooms. The teachers are all nice and patient with great love and care to children as I observed. The teachers are also very trustful and sincere. My son has grown up and learnt a lot in compass and gardner. He usually does not want to leave the school when we pick him up in the evening. Teachers were also very happy to share my son's daily highlights so that we knew my son had a great day. I also like school curriculum. My son did lots of mix-media art craft and painting, nature science projects, and hand-writing in class, which are important for his development. In the past summer, school also arranged lots of STEAM activities and my son was fully happily engaged.
