This review is specifically for our waitlist experience, we have never had a child enrolled at Gardner.
We put our child on the waitlist and paid $200 in October of 2021 for an infant start date of August/September 2022. We went with Bright Horizons in Oakbrook since they had an opening, and we’ve had a really great experience (love their teachers, curriculum, and facility).
I continue to get emails from The Gardner School thanking me for my patience, but saying they still don’t have a spot for my child’s age group. It’s ridiculous (my son turns 2 in a month) and wanted to share this review for those looking at care options. Kensington in Elmhurst was very upfront with us about the slim likelihood of getting into their infant room back in 2021, but we were able to join their waitlist for free. I don’t think it’s right for a childcare institution to charge a wait list fee if their availability would be THREE YEARS.
We’ve paid non-refundable waitlist or enrollment fees at a few places, but Gardner stands out egregious considering the timeline. I hesitate to write negative reviews, but maybe my experience can help an expectant mom.
TGS Oakbrook has been a great experience for my son in the Pre-K room. When he first started here as a pre-schooler, he was quiet. He didn’t really have trouble interacting with people but was generally shy. We have seen him blossom. He is so much more independent and confident in his day to day interactions. He’s excited to go to school and lead/ help with school tasks. The feeling of warmth and care that the kids experience here is unparalleled! We are positive that his experience and learning thus far at TGS will have a positive impact on who he will be as a Kindergartener. Kudos to the staff and administrators of TGS Oakbrook!
