Our kids absolutely love their teachers (Ms. Kim & Ms. Jennifer; Ms. Margaret & Ms. Nina, and all of the other wonderful staff). Lisa and Shenika are always present and available, and very responsive to any questions we may have.

We love the Gardner School and know that our son is in good hands with his teachers. Our son is learning so much in his toddler classroom which we know is attributed to the environment the teachers create and their dedication to teach him. We are very thankful to have Ms Gabby and Ms Mariana as his teachers! The brightwheel app communication system is also an amazing perk. The teachers are not just providing a status update - they are going above and beyond to explain what the kids are doing and what type of skill they are learning. I also love the amount of pictures they upload! The building itself is in a very secure location and the added security with the 2 doors allows us to have peace of mind every day. The staff all know my son’s name which makes me feel like they all really care about him. I also think TGS does a great job at fostering a community with their seasonal and special events like the Halloween parade. Overall, we are very happy with The Gardner School and speak highly of the teachers, staff, and daycare facilities.

This is our second child at TGS and we continue to be impressed! Our son is in Toddler A with Norshina, where he is well-cared for and engaged every day. We know he enjoys the class because of his smiles in photos, the security he has with Norshina and how he talks about school at home. The leadership changes at school have also shown improvement. The quality of the school and classrooms, the playground and improvements in food have been noted by our family.

I appreciate the warm, welcoming teachers that makes me feel so happy to leave my children in their care! Big shoutouts to Ms. Betty, Ms. Robin, Ms. Connie, Ms. Lindsay, Ms. Anna, Ms. Cassidy, Ms. Felicia, Ms. Kianna, and Ms. Beth! I like that the school is always clean and organized (plus the festive decorations make it so fun). I like that there is both nurturing and learning built into the curriculums. I'm also thrilled that there is now turf at the playground :)

I focus on holistic child development, thoughtful caregiving and child support, teaching independence to the kids, lots of fun and learning activities, enrichment including dance, yoga etc., holiday celebrations, commitment to a strong overall child and parent experience, open communication and good personal interactions.

Both of our kids have thrived at Gardner school! Both kids academic levels, behaviors and general life skills have grown immensely while at Gardner school. The teachers are warm and welcoming!

I am very impressed with the teachers and the administrative team at The Gardner School. My daughter recently started attending, and I am so appreciative of the extensive support they have provided to help her adjust to this new environment. It has made a world of difference for her.

Communication has been very strong recently. App announcements, emails and important dates linked to our calendars make things so much easier to manage and keep track of. I don’t know everything my kids are learning each day but I’m impressed how quickly they are picking up early literacy, numeracy, and sign language communication skills. More communication on how behavior and disciplinary issues are handled would be helpful. Simply being able to implement the same language, boundaries, and strategies would be useful for consistency and continuity between home and school.

Great curriculum, better than all of the other schools out kids’ friends attend. You can really see the development of the kids come to fruition. Staff is excellent, rooms are spotless. The kids absolutely love it there.

Our son loves coming to school every day. At pickup he always tells me he had a great day, and I never have a moment of worry when I drop him off. The teachers and administrators genuinely care about the children and clearly enjoy what they do — you can see it in how they engage with the kids. The activities and enrichment programs are wonderful too; there's always something new he's excited about. Highly recommend to any family looking for a place where their child will be cared for and have fun.
