My son atttends this school and I feel so fortunate to have found it. I went to many many preschools and decided on Children s Garden as soon as I met with Ms Mawani and watched the other teachers interact with the children. It is the most loving, warm, nurturing environment while still teaching the children respect, kindness and order. It really is a joy to see my little man's face every day when he tells me about his day at school and how much fun he had while learning. If I could choose 6 stars I would

toys are really old. they're even older than those in Oak Park public library. I donated some toys to them but my daughter told me she never saw them in the day care. some teachers came from India were nice but after 6 months they left and never came back due to visa problem. then, they hired a very young teacher without any experience.

My son just graduated from pre-school at Children's Garden. He loved the teachers there and has asked me a dozen times if we can still visit them when he's in kindergarten. The CG teachers are gentle and wonderful people I can see why he is sad to leave. I'm not sure what happened with the person who had issues with his/her deposit being returned. We got ours back in full. Perhaps the school is frugal, but to me where they buy their snacks is not relevant compared to the quality of the teachers and curriculum. My child has learned so much here, has always been treated lovingly, and I feel he is well-prepared for kindergarten.

you can't imagine how greedy they are. to maximize her profit, the owner always buys snacks from Aldi (http://aldi.us/) rather than dominick's. if my son is the last one waiting for picking up, they usually leave only one light on to save electricity. you never get your deposit ($700) back no matter how long you have stayed there.

To me it is close contact and suprvision .School and family have to tow lines upon the future of kids.Still a bit of freedom to propitiate caos and self-esteem they should be granted

I definitely want to be more of a presence on my child's middle school campus and be more of a voice for the parents.

Be proactive in my son's education. Be more involved with his school, support his early academic career in all aspects socially emotionally
