Top Academically Focused Preschool Expands Into the Chicagoland Area

CHICAGO, IL, March 20, 2013 (Press-News.org) The Gardner School, an award-winning, academic preschool serving children ages six weeks through pre-Kindergarten, is opening four schools in the Chicagoland area in 2013.

"With so many working families in Chicago and the surrounding suburbs, there is a great need for high-quality child care, so we're really excited to bring our educational programs to this area," said Tammy Robinson, Chief Operating Officer at The Gardner School. "We take the level of care that you currently find in the market to the next level by offering an academically focused curriculum taught by teachers with four-year degrees in Early Childhood Education or a closely related field. From the minute they step into our schools, parents can tell the difference."

The first Chicagoland location is opening today, March 18, in Warrenville, Illinois. Located at 28 W 611 Ferry Road, this new, state-of-the-art school will offer full-time and part-time child care for families in Naperville, Aurora, Wheaton and surrounding communities. The second Gardner School location is set to open in April of this year in Downtown Chicago, Illinois. This school, the West Loop Campus, will be located at 1301 West Madison Street to provide convenient childcare for parents who work downtown.

In the fall of 2013, The Gardner School will open two more locations: one in Glenview, Illinois, and the other in the Bucktown neighborhood of Chicago.

The schools have been heralded by the press as "The Princeton of Preschools," due to their multi-million dollar facilities, renowned curriculum, student uniforms and stringent hiring practices for teachers. Each location is designed to provide a stimulating, creative and educationally engineered environment to prepare young children with the foundation to excel in Kindergarten and well beyond.

Additionally, the schools offer health-conscious, nutritious meals prepared onsite; first-class security measures, including closed-circuit cameras throughout the entire school and a four-digit pass code for all parents to enter; and a full suite of enrichment classes that provide specialized, small-group training in foreign languages, dance, gymnastics, drama, computer-based learning and more.

The Gardner School is a Nashville, TN-based company with seven other locations in Tennessee, Kentucky and Ohio. For more information regarding The Gardner School nearest you and enrollment opportunities, please visit http://www.TheGardnerSchool.com.
