World class from the director to the teachers to the curriculum. Corrie does great with teacher retention by doing all the things to make them appreciated. We will and have referred new families to the program which is a testament to how we feel about our experience.

Everything about our experience with The Gardner School in Edina was excellent. Leadership and staff communicated closely in the background to make the parent experience as seamless as possible. Communication from the school and teachers to parents was terrific and teachers all provided regular photo updates for parents throughout the day. We feel very lucky and blessed to have been able to have our daughter spend her first five years with a group of educators and caretakers who were so invested in her education and wellbeing.

We are so grateful for the wonderful year Madeline spent with Miss Jess and Miss Ashley. She learned and grew so much in their classroom, and they were always incredibly patient, kind, and encouraging with her. She genuinely looked forward to going to school each day, which says so much about the warm and welcoming environment they created. They are true professionals, and we feel that her time with them has given her such a strong foundation and a wonderful head start as she prepares for kindergarten. Madeline has been at The Gardner School since she was just four months old, so saying goodbye feels incredibly bittersweet. The years have flown by, and the teachers and staff have played such an important role in helping her become the curious, kind, thoughtful child she is today. She has learned so much, not only academically, but also about having good manners, asking questions, trying to do the right thing, and being a good friend. She formed wonderful friendships there and has so many happy memories that we know she will carry with her. It is hard to imagine not making that familiar drive to Gardner every day. We will always look back on Madeline’s time there with so much fondness and gratitude, and we would wholeheartedly recommend The Gardner School to other families. We truly could not have asked for a more positive experience or a better place for Madeline to spend these incredibly important early years.

After going to a handful of daycare facilities we fully understand that they are not created equal and that Gardner Edina is a unicorn of a place. From its leadership with Corrie, to the teachers, all the way to Chef Lisa we couldn't speak more highly of Gardner Edina. Our two children have thrived there and we couldn't be more pleased with the center. Both of our children started daycare at 6 weeks old and there is no better place to send your child. We even add an undesired commute in the opposite direction of work to take our children to Gardner Edina.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about The Gardner School! From the moment we walked through the doors, we knew our kiddo was in a caring, nurturing, and enriching environment. The teachers and staff truly go above and beyond every day. They take the time to get to know each child individually, helping them grow academically, socially, and emotionally. The facility itself is beautiful, clean, safe, and welcoming. As parents, there is no greater feeling than knowing your kiddo is happy, loved, and thriving while you're away, and The Gardner School provides exactly that peace of mind. Choosing The Gardner School has been one of the best decisions we've made for our family. We are incredibly grateful for the teachers, leadership team, and entire community. We wholeheartedly recommend The Gardner School to any family looking for exceptional childcare and preschool education!

Lots of things I like but I don’t like the computer games in the classroom, I don’t think there is strong security at the front of building/ checking. Also, I’d prefer no uniforms

The Gardner School Edina has been extremely welcoming to our family since we enrolled. The entire staff seemed to know our son's name within days of his arrival, and his teachers have been extremely kind. They clearly genuinely care about the health and success of our son, and it's been a joy to have him enrolled there. We can't recommend them enough!

Sending our twins to the Gardner School is easily one of the best parenting decisions we made. We cannot say enough positive things about the safe, engaging and compassionate care they provide for our kiddos and others. The teachers and staff are truly out of this world! We feel so lucky to be part of the TGS community.

Number 1 is my kids adore the school experience they're having from teachers to staff to classmates. The school is in a convenient location for us, and we have fantastic channels of communication through the Brightwheel app.
