TGS had been a great match for our family. A great location, the building and playgrounds are well kept, and caring teachers. We’ve enjoyed the extra classes for STEAM and soccer. Coaches come to the school so it’s easy to participate and introduce our son to sports early. While teacher turnover happens, our experience has seen wonderful caregivers who are invested in our kiddos well being and growth.
What I like most about my school experience with The Gardner is the caring and supportive environment. The teachers and front office staff genuinely invest in each child's growth, both academically and socially. I appreciate the hands-on learning activities, the focus on creativity, and the opportunities for children to build confidence and independence. The strong sense of community makes families feel welcomed and involved, which creates a positive and enriching experience for everyone. I LOVE IT THERE ♥️
I love the Gardner School, my daughter comes home with a big smile every day, I really like the every day updates and how much they care about the kids fun and development. The Gardner school was the best decision!
We like that the Gardner School provides healthy breakfast/lunch/snack for our daughter. The facility is clean and the staff is great. Ms. Molly Jane has been an excellent teacher and has developed a strong bond with our daughter.
My son has loved to grow up with the same kids at the Gardner School! He has been there since he was an infant and has loved each of his teachers and all the activities he gets to do!
The teachers, Misses Beth, Tameara were wonderful. My daughter genuinely loved going in to TGS each day. I could confidently go about my day knowing that she was in great hands. The updates on Brightwheel were fantastic - they really helped me to know what was going on throughout the day in terms of meals, bathroom, naps, and activities.
We love TGS! Leadership, teachers, support staff - everyone is very kind and dedicated. A few features that are meaningful are the quality meals that are provided, the curriculum is clear our son is learning, extra classes like STEAM and soccer lessons. Turnover is the only area that has been challenging - tough to always retain folks - but you hate to see beloved teachers leave when your child enjoys them. Granted, our son has always loved the new faces once settled.
We love TGS's dedication to having a comprehensive curriculum, thoughtful summer calendar, and lots of family engagement opportunities. The teachers are very knowledgeable and can help us through any concerns that might come up. We're grateful for TGS!
From the moment our son started at Gardner at age two, we felt confident he was in the right place. After leaving a daycare with constant staff turnover, we knew consistency mattered — and Gardner largely delivered on that. Pre-K brought some unexpected changes, but each teacher they brought in was wonderful, and he was always in good hands.
He made great friends, grew tremendously, and built a foundation we’re so proud of. He’s heading into kindergarten strong — socially confident and academically prepared. We couldn’t ask for more.
If we had to do it all over again, we’d choose Gardner every single time.
The staff at Gardner School are the best in the city! From the second you walk in, you're greeted and welcomed in with a warm smile and it makes all the difference when you're leaving your little one in their care. The school itself is very clean, and has been clearly maintained well over the years. I would highly recommend the school to any of my friends or family looking for baby care :)
Our daughter has been attending TGS since she was 4 months old and is now about to turn 3, it was very important to me to have a safe and caring environment for her and the staff and teachers at TGS always do a wonderful job making that happen. They are absolutely part of our extended village! She loves going to school, learns so much and has a great time hanging out with all her friends.
I love the staff, teachers, communication, and the way you can just tell my daughter loves going to school. She’s learned so much since she started. The difference is amazing!!
Our experience with The Gardner School has been nothing short of excellent. The directors and staff care deeply and work towards ensuring positive outcomes for every child everyday. Our son’s teachers, Ms. Beth and Ms. Tamaera are incredible - patient, kind, loving, and creative in their curriculum. We also really appreciate the daily updates and feedback we receive through the app everyday, the photos and videos are so sweet! Our son talks about school and his friends all the time, and he can’t wait to go to each morning.
I appreciate how the school creates a warm, structured, and engaging environment every day. The teachers are patient, encouraging, and truly invested in helping students grow. I enjoy the hands‑on learning activities, the focus on creativity, and the way the school helps build confidence and independence. The friendships and positive classroom atmosphere make the experience enjoyable and meaningful. My son LOVES it at The Gardner School of Louisville! ❤️😍
Our son is now 3 years old and has been at TGS since he was 3 months old! We feel he is cared for by compassionate care givers and is also thriving in his development and education.
