The Gardner School has been a wonderful choice for our children and exceeded expectations. Their preschool program is excellent academically and socially. Our son was well-prepared to start Kindergarten. The teachers are exceptional and loving to all the kids across the school. The Director and Asst Director have been at the school for years and truly make it feel like a community. My kids are loved, safe, and challenged.

We love Gardner and the care that it is clear all of staff pours into the kids. We are so grateful for Ms. Brooke and Ms. Kya and how they see our little girl, support her, and communicate with us about her progress. Overall, Gardner is fantastic and has been a great community to join!

TGS has been a really great fit for our 3 year old. We love the administration, teachers and support staff. The schools approach has provided our son with the support and encouragement to grow both academically and personally. We love that he has learned through play, exploration, relationships, and hands-on experiences. Thank you Gardner School!

We love the consistency and quality of the Gardner School. With clear programming and low turnover we know what to expect any given day/week. It's clear where and when to pick up and drop of everyday, who our child will be spending time with, what they will be doing and who will be communicating with us about our child and the school. This provides comfort for parents and children. My child loves to come in and see all her friends and teachers.

The teachers and staff seem caring and invested in my child's development. My child seems comfortable and content there, which was not the experience we had at his former school. We are very grateful for the experience we have had at Gardner.

What stands out the most about our experience at The Gardner School is the incredible leadership team — Charlotte, Meghan, and Cecelia. You can truly feel that they run this school out of genuine passion and deep conviction, and they actually have fun doing it! What is particularly remarkable is how seriously they take every single comment, concern, and request. Managing a preschool environment with so many competing interests from parents and teachers, alongside the wonderful everyday chaos, is undoubtedly challenging. Yet, they handle it with a high degree of focus, goal orientation, and deep empathy. The atmosphere they have created is warm, approachable, and truly personal. At no point during our time here have we ever felt anything less than completely supported and in the best possible hands. Additionally, the regular events organized for the children play a huge role in helping the kids build a personal connection to the school, their classroom, and their peers, fostering a strong sense of belonging. This has made the transition and everyday routines so much easier for our little one.

I love how kind and friendly the staff are. They truly make me feel like my son is loved and cared for. They had made him feel comfortable and have reassured me as a new parent at Gardner that he is adjusting well! There have been only a few things I would like to provide feedback on - occasionally when I have gone to pick up my son, it has been unclear where he is or the person watching him is not aware of his name or who he is. For example, I have said, I am here to pick up my son and they said he isn't here and then I see him in the back of the classroom by himself. This was a bit alarming to me, since I would expect anyone supervising my son would know who and where he is. Also, my sister picked up my son for me and told me his shirt was completely wet and his arms were cold - I don't believe this happens often, but I want to make sure he is paid attention to and these things are not left unnoticed. He became sick that weekend so keeping him warm and dry is important! Thank you for allowing me to provide feedback. Overall I am very happy with the care my son is getting, but I appreciate the opportunity to discuss these concerns.

Ms. Brooke and Ms. Kya are such great teachers! They put together such creative and fun activities each week with new learning themes. They also meet our son where he's at and help him navigate new or difficult situations. The facility is always really clean and they serve healthy meals and snacks. They also plan fun events for parents to attend and meet other parents which is really nice!

We have had a wonderful experience at Gardner. I appreciate how communicative the teachers and administration are. The property is super clean and nice and the kids have so much to do. My daughter has learned SO much and has fun every day. Everyone has been super supportive during all our transitions- the initial move to Gardner, change in classes, potty training, all of it! We have a new baby coming soon and I am so grateful to know he will be well cared for at Gardner.

Our two boys attend The Gardner School. Our oldest has been there for 2.5 years, and we are so thankful to have found this school! Their teachers are caring and attentive, and the communication with parents has been great. Our boys both love going to school, and our four year old has learned so much!

I've loved how communicative the teachers are, how they're willing to problem solve if certain behaviors occur, and how many opportunities for involvement and connection Gardner offers families. I'd love more theme days, more opportunities to connect with other families in my child's classroom, and am loving our Gardner experience!

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Gardner school at 9+co. Everyone knew our daughter’s name. There were always fun activities and she learned so much in her time there. I would recommend to anyone.

We loved our teachers and we loved how many thoughtful, fun things Charlotte and team planned for the school- lots of amazing things like visits from the symphony or nature and science museum etc. Class time is very structured and kids know what to expect with the routine. We also appreciated the stability of low turnover Our child learned a lot there, more than we expected. She told us yesterday after picking her up from kindergarten that she misses Gardner school.

I could not recommend Gardner at 9th and CO higher. We have 2 kids there and both love their time, even with extended days. Fantastic and caring staff.

My children love TGS. Their teachers are kind and attentive. They learn and get plenty of time to play. Communication is clear and transparent.

We love this school and all the teachers we’ve had the pleasure of meeting. They run a very tight ship: we get notifications every time they do a diaper change, we get an idea how well they ate and we get pictures with descriptions of what activities they are doing and how it affects their development. Naomi has come home with new dance moves, her hair will be done neatly and she has developed so much since we started bringing her here. Ms. Susie has been such a fantastic teacher in particular. They all seem to genuinely care, and always fully transparent about how the day went. This is a very tough job, so their ability to keep a calm demeanor and always stay positive with the hectic nature of toddlers is admirable.
