Choosing a daycare can be daunting, but transferring to this location has been the best decision for our family. Ms. Tina and Ms. Cat are absolutely amazing with my daughter! As a first-time mom, I was incredibly anxious about transitioning my baby away from the bottle. I reached out for advice, and Ms. Tina went above and beyond—sharing best practices, providing daily feedback on how the transition was going, and completely putting my mind at ease. It is so comforting to know that they truly have my daughter’s best interests at heart. I genuinely feel like I have great partners in childcare, and I always feel completely comfortable reaching out to them for guidance. The safety and attentiveness here are also unmatched. Since transferring from our previous daycare, we haven’t received a single report of our daughter getting hurt, which speaks volumes about how closely they watch the children. Every time I walk in, the staff and supporting teachers are fully engaged—I have never once seen them distracted on their phones. They are incredibly caring, attentive, and wonderful at what they do!

The Gardner School at Yorktown was everything we could’ve asked for in a daily childcare center for our children. After more than 5 years at the school, the teachers and administration have become friends and they love my children like their own. Their safety and happiness has always felt like the highest priority to everyone there. We really cherished every moment we’ve had at this school and are so grateful for everyone who has cared for our children since the start.

I think the potty training program really helped our child. I think the hours of operation are excellent and our child has grown immensely thanks to a lower teacher to student ratio and specialized activity days.

I love the layout of the school, the curriculum, and the projects that are created throughout the year for the children to completed. Further, the singing programs such as holiday program and end of school program are always great!

My daughter is always happy to see her friends and teachers! She learns new things every day and I like that The Gardner School takes curriculum seriously, even at very young ages.

Everything! - They way they listen to the parents requests and adjust accordingly while still being cognizant of the students/teachers/staff. - How much joy the teachers and staff bring to my children every single day. - The amount of enrichment classes that are available are amazing! I'm spending an astronomical amount of money here, but I can see the value of them being here. It makes it all worth it.

Our teacher Ms. Lena has changed our child's life and she has been amazing for our transition into daycare this past year. Our child has benefitted so much from daycare and loves all of his teachers that he has. It is always such a welcoming environment.

We've had some really wonderful teachers. Hours of operation are great. Overall my kids seem happy there. Only detractors are the cost is astronomical, but I think that's par for the course

The staff is truly incredible! They do amazing things for our children and support us through every step—milestones, developmental delays, behavioral concerns, and more. They never give up and show an abundance of patience, which means so much to us. They’re also the friendliest group of people; I always feel genuinely welcomed when I drop my kids off, and I’ve loved building relationships with each of them. As two full-time working parents, it can be challenging to keep up with everything, but they consistently put us at ease. They’ve also played an essential role in both of my children’s education and development. I honestly can’t say enough positive things about The Gardner School and the wonderful staff at our location.

The Gardner School has been a wonderful part of our family’s journey. My two-year-old currently attends, and my older child also went there when they were younger, so we have been connected to this community for years. Each time we walk through the doors, I am reminded of why we chose this school and why we stayed. The teachers are truly exceptional. They are patient, warm, and genuinely committed to nurturing every child. You can feel how much they care. My youngest lights up when they see their teachers, and that alone speaks volumes. The staff pays close attention to who my child is — their needs, their personality, and their growth — and it shows in the way they talk, play, and learn at home. The curriculum is thoughtful, creative, and designed to stretch young minds in all the right ways. Even at two years old, my child is learning new things every day, and I love seeing how excited they are to share them. Safety is clearly a priority. As a parent, knowing that my child is protected, watched carefully, and cared for gives me true peace of mind. I never worry once I drop them off, because I know they are in good hands. Communication is outstanding. The daily updates and pictures mean so much to me. They allow me to stay connected to my child’s day, and it warms my heart to see them smiling, exploring, and learning. We are truly grateful for The Gardner School. It is more than a school — it is a supportive, caring environment where children are seen, valued, and encouraged to thrive. I would highly recommend it to any family looking for a place that feels like a second home.

My 3 year old has been attending early preschool at The Gardner School for about a year. The staff are so friendly, caring and supportive. They make learning fun and my son is excited to go to The Gardner School! I couldn’t be happier with our choice to enroll our son in the Gardner School and highly recommend!
