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!

Our experience at TGS Yorktown has been nothing short of amazing. My son truly thrives in this school. The curriculum is engaging, fun, and educational, sparking his interest in learning while fostering creativity. He comes home excited to share his art projects, new songs, and stories about his friends. The staff—both teachers and administrators—are communicative, approachable, and always available for meaningful conversations. I also love how connected the environment feels, with everyone knowing and caring about my son, not just his immediate teachers. It’s such a warm and welcoming community.

Our little one has grown so much in just the few months she’s been attending Gardner. She’s become more confident, curious and independent; her personality is really starting to shine. Best part about attending Gardner is that our daughter gets to spend time with kids her age! I love seeing all the pictures of her activities throughout the day. I look forward to the pictures everyday!

The teachers and administrative staff have the biggest hearts. Year after year, the team goes above and beyond to create an enriching and nurturing environment for my child. There are always fun and engaging activities that she looks forward to, whether part of the curriculum or special events planned by the school. Communication has always been excellent. I feel consistently informed about her day, what she’s learning, where she’s excelling, and where she might need a little extra support.

Everyone is phenomenal. The teachers in the infant wing - especially Nayely - really go above and beyond.

The teachers and staff are incredible caring and hands on with our child. I sincerely feel like my child is in good hands. The teachers always give helpful feedback, and seeing what is going on through the Brightwheel app is very very reassuring. I love being with TGS

We love The Gardner School of York Town. I do think all the good things are coming from the head of this location - Mrs Angelika. In addition to the children's program and the educational style approached, we are very satisfied with the bright interior of this daycare.
