The Gardner School of Naperville South

We love this place—what a wonderful environment for children to start their journey! We’ve known this school since our first child attended, and now I’m sending my second one here without a doubt—because I know the kind of care they provide. We love everyone at this school, especially Brittney. She is incredibly helpful and patient with all of my questions, whether they’re about the school or even the little things related to my child’s feelings. Thank you also to Ms. Amanda and Ms. Sam. They provide the best care and teaching for my 2-year-old, who just started a month ago. My daughter keeps talking about them—she’s so happy and absolutely loves her teachers! A big thank you as well to Ms. Lizzy and Ms. Kate. And from my first child’s experience, thank you to all the teachers she loved and who gave her such wonderful memories: Ms. Rae, Ms. Lesley, Ms. Lizzy, and Ms. Jennifer. We’re so grateful for everything you’ve done for our family.

I have an absolute peace of mind at leaving my kids at Gardner (formerly 'Compass'). They have retained many of the senior teachers who are outstanding and have years of experience in early education. Parents receive regular updates throughout the day about the class activities. We also found our kid to have been well prepared with a good foundation to enter the public school system.

The most exceptional workplace and educational institution, fostering a nurturing environment for children . The exceptional communication skills and welcoming atmosphere create a safe and supportive environment for children and parents. The dedicated teachers prioritize individual attention, ensuring that each child feels comfortable and enjoys learning. I hold immense respect for this institution and cherish the positive and great memories I have made here. I express my gratitude to the entire team for their contributions on my journey, and also for the beautiful impact on children life’s.

We’re so happy that our son is attending this school! He absolutely loves Ms. Rae and Ms. Lesli—they take such great care of him, and he’s learning so much. The school staff, Ms Brittany and Ms Kate are amazing and always on top of everything. They also accommodate his food allergies, We’re beyond grateful!

Gardner School (previously known as Compass) was the BEST decision we made for our girls since the age of 2 (now 5) - we absolutely love the teachers and all the staff involved, so welcoming and sweet towards everyone consistently! 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!
