The Gardner School of Chicago - River North

Embracing a community-driven approach to early childhood education

Where small class sizes and engaging curriculum set the stage for kindergarten readiness

Located in the heart of Chicago's vibrant River North neighborhood, The Gardner School of Chicago - River North offers a unique educational experience that prioritizes community and individualized attention. At our preschool, we believe that every child learns differently, and our experienced teachers craft engaging lesson plans to meet the needs of each child. Our school's small class sizes and low student-to-teacher ratios allow for meaningful relationships to form, creating a sense of belonging and supporting each child's social and emotional growth. Our curriculum is carefully designed to lay the foundation for successful kindergarten experiences, with a focus on literacy, numeracy, and social skills. Through a combination of play-based learning and structured activities, our students develop essential skills and a lifelong love of learning.
