the teachers are amazing. love their relationships w the kids. seems like maybe they have to jump through corporate hoops at times. i also am unfamiliar with exact breakdown revenue share/between franchise location and corporate, but i hope corporate is taking as small a share as they can to run a healthy business b/c the meaningful and tiring work is being done inside the building, not from afar.

We love the teachers!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dakyla, Allison, and Jeteia specifically are awesome. My daughter is FLOURISHING in their classroom. She is doing so well and we couldn’t be happier with how happy she is to come to school. I noticed that some of the floater teachers in those rooms can be rather short and annoyed quickly with students. I’ve walked in on a few uncomfortable moments where I didn’t love how they were talking to kids. My daughter also has bad drop offs with some floater teachers and often says “I don’t like her.” I don’t expect her to like everyone but this comment coupled with the fact that no floater teacher has ever introduced themselves or spoken to me is unsettling a little. Also, the new check in/out process is nothing but an inconvenience to parents and teachers. The teachers are busy and to stop what they’re doing to police us to sign out is a lot. I also don’t think this process gets to the root of the problems I’ve noticed which is consistent staffing.

My son is thriving at school, and that is what I appreciate most. He is excited to learn, he talks about his teacher constantly, and he has built real friendships with his classmates. The care and attention he receives shows in how confident and happy he is. His teacher has created a warm, engaging environment where he feels safe, seen, and curious. As a working parent, knowing he is in a place he loves gives me real peace of mind. I am truly grateful to the entire staff for the role they play in his growth.

I love the community feel and how our sweet boy and family have been welcomed in since we are new since this summer. I love the constant communication throughout the day and all the pictures - it really puts our minds' at ease that our sweet baby is being taken care of like we were there. The teachers are amazing and passionate about their work! Also, leadership is efficient and very easy to find time to talk to here any feedback!

Gardner Midtown was amazing! They’ve had growing pains this year that seemed to be on the right track. We will definitely miss them!

I cannot say enough about the Gardner School. Everyone there is amazing and makes you feel like home. From the teachers to the front desk to the security man out front. My son would surprise us each week by learning something new. We constantly said “where did you learn this”. We would still be at Gardner if we didn’t move to Florida.

I’m pretty new to the school but so far the experience has been positive. Our teachers, Tresa and Brittany are so kind and helpful. The parking lot is kinda a zoo when it’s busy
