The teachers and staff are wonderful! My daughter comes home every day excited about what she has learned and the interactions she had. They are constantly doing fun, new activities that keep her engaged.

Our daughter loves going to school, which says so much about the caring, positive environment the staff has created. She adores her teachers, has made wonderful friendships, and comes home every day eager to tell us about everything she's learned. We've seen growth in her confidence, social skills, and learning over the past few years she's been in attendance. It's clear that the teachers truly care about each child and create engaging activities that make learning enjoyable. We are grateful to have found a place where our daughter feels safe, happy, supported, and excited to learn. We highly recommend Gardner to any family looking for a nurturing and enriching environment for their child.

We couldn’t be happier with the care our 3.5-year-old daughter receives. From the very beginning, the staff has been warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in her well-being and development. It’s clear that they create a nurturing and structured environment where children feel safe, supported, and excited to learn. The communication with parents has been excellent as well. We appreciate the regular updates, photos, and thoughtful feedback about her progress and daily experiences. It gives us real peace of mind knowing she’s in such capable and caring hands. We’re truly grateful to have found a place that feels like a second home for our daughter. We would highly recommend this daycare to any family looking for a positive, engaging, and loving environment for their child.

We love The Gardner School! We moved from the city where our girls (ages 3 & 4) were in Montessori, and we’ve seen such a drastic change in them and their learning! The teachers are all wonderful, the hours are great and they even love wearing their uniforms. Love TGS!

Our baby girl has been thriving ever since starting. She comes home every day pointing out different colors, counting, and reciting alphabets. We are amazed every day watching her grow and I know it’s because of the Gardner school. The highlight of our day is seeing photos of her and she’s having so much fun you could tell she enjoys being there which makes us feel we made a great decision in enrolling her.

What we like most about our daughter’s experience at The Gardner School is the way she is truly seen, supported, and encouraged every single day. Her teachers create an environment that feels warm and structured, where she can learn, explore, and grow with confidence. We love how intentional the curriculum is, how thoughtfully the staff communicates with us, and how genuinely they care for her. It has been a place where she is not only learning, but thriving.

That they value education not just playtime. I love the uniforms and teaching my 4 yr old how to write already!

The tenures of the teachers lends itself well to great environments that our son looks forward to being at each day. The experience has been exponentially better than previous area daycares.
