There are so many fun activities planned for even the littlest babies. All of the teachers, even those not directly in our daughters classroom, know her name.
Gardner School in Powell is well staffed with amazing teachers and aids. The leaders are helpful in guiding our transition of starting daycare for our toddler. The classroom is designed beautifully and functions well. The blend of free play and structured learning activities are perfect for his age and development. We appreciate how helpful the teachers are in collaborating in potty training and communicating with us throughout the day. They are attentive and always update us on how he did when we pick him up. We are enjoying the school so far!
We’ve love being at TGS - one piece of feedback though is I would strengthen the communication of new teachers/when we start seeing new people in our kids class because I think my daughter has a new teacher but I don’t even know her name. Also I suggest to train the new people to introduce themselves to the parents when they start… that would make a positive impact for sure
My son has progressed so much in less than a year of attending TGS. The consistency, structure and inclusiveness has really made.a difference in his speech, comprehension, socialization and mannerism.
The friendly staff and the very quick responses I received on the app. The school was always so clean and Mrs Natalie was amazing with Fuyuka. We are truly sad to be leaving!
You love the kids, create consistently lovely experiences for them, and communicate what you do daily (which I know is so much work but so appreciated). I'm hoping the turnaround is just par for the course in daycare and nothing is brewing behind the scenes because we love it here so much!
We LOVE the Gardner School. The teachers and administration team go above and beyond every single day to facilitate a safe, comfortable, and ideal learning atmosphere. I feel confident when I drop off my children that they are receiving the best care. - Mindy Miller
Easy and open communication, Open doors policy. I also love how kids and treated and how the teachers support each other which positively impact the environment for kids. Low turnover. Facilities are always clean and organized.
Our daughter started at Gardner when she was 7 months old and overall it has been a great experience. She loves going to school and loves her teacher. We know there has been a struggle to hire another teacher for her classroom since summer time and recognize the workforce is tough. Although there have been staff shortages we do appreciate how hard the school works to cover shortages and try to keep consistent teachers in her room. Daycare is not cheap and we hope teachers and staff are compensated well for all of their hard work!
There are SO many things to love about TGS Powell! But first and foremost, we appreciate the longevity of the teaching staff and administration. (Including Jen and Carly who welcome every person, every morning, with a big smile from the front desk!) We had previously been at Goddard of Powell and left due to continuous teacher turnover. A school cannot move forward, and progress, with constant turnover. TGS Powell creates an environment where kids feel safe to learn and play because of the wonderful teachers and administrators they employ. Furthermore, the school is ALWAYS clean, communication is above average, the school lunches are well planned, and we know without a doubt, our child is safe and learning EVERY day. Our only request would be to have more evening events for the kids; such as a parents night out each month or every quarter. They do this one time per year around the holidays but it would be great to offer this option more to parents. Thank you for all you do, TGS Powell! We couldn't ask for a better daycare, school, program!
