River Trail School

We really like the teachers at this school. They're a dedicated staff that works hard to make learning fun. I love that they have gym every day as well as a rotation of art, music, library, and technology. They also teach coding starting in kindergartners. All in all we've been very happy with the education our daughter has gotten at this school.

My child has thrived since joining the toddler program at Country Meadows Montessori School. From the very first weeks, I could see noticeable changes—not only in independence, but also in confidence, communication, and overall happiness.The teachers are incredibly patient, nurturing, and attentive. They truly understand toddlers and meet each child exactly where they are while gently encouraging them to grow. I’ve been especially impressed by how thoughtfully the classroom is organized to support self-directed learning. My child now eagerly participates in activities, follows simple routines, and takes pride in doing things “all by myself”—something I credit directly to the Montessori approach practiced here.Overall, enrolling in the toddler program at Country Meadows Montessori has been one of the best decisions we’ve made. The environment is safe, warm, and enriching, and it has helped my child blossom in ways I didn’t expect so soon. I’m grateful for the care, structure, and dedication the staff provides every day.Highly recommended for any parent looking for a supportive and growth-focused early childhood experience!

Under NO circumstances should you consider this school. The management & care have a considerable opportunity for improvement.

My grandchildren attend Gurnee Christian School and they are happy, well rounded, and courteous children who are excelling in all areas of learning. The teachers do a great job of teaching all students Christian moral values and witnessing to them through their personal example. The friendships forged here, with students and staff, bring joy to my grand kids and make their experience a positive one for them both. Thanks GCS!
