The school provided lunch, the updates on brightwheel, and all of the activities

I love all the fascination teachers and how much they care for my son. They are celebrate his success, get excited to see him, sad when he leaves and are so supportive of him. That makes a working mama’s heart so happy! I love the food program. It is 100% so convenient to not worry about packing food everyday, especially for busy parents.

The school is very organized in a way that makes children feel secure and provides structure that they understand and look for. The classrooms are consistent and the teachers and leadership have accountability. The school has many different ways that learning takes place and switches from large groups to small groups which helps the kids adjust and learn how to be themselves and work together in different settings. The facility itself is safe and clean.

We’ve had such a wonderful experience with this daycare, and I can confidently give it a 5-star review. My 3 year old is not only happy going each day, but he is truly thriving. He’s already being introduced to early writing skills and is excelling far beyond what I expected at this age. It’s clear there’s a thoughtful, structured curriculum in place that balances learning with play in a way that keeps him engaged and excited. The facility is always clean, organized, and well cared for, which gives me peace of mind as a parent. Even more important to me, it feels genuinely safe. My son trusts his teachers, talks about them at home, and looks forward to seeing them every day. That kind of bond is something you can’t fake. Teacher retention is also excellent, which says a lot about the environment the staff work in and the consistency the children benefit from. The caregivers are attentive, warm, and clearly invested in each child’s development. Communication with parents is strong and reliable. I always feel informed about my child’s progress, activities, and any updates throughout the day. They also do a great job of keeping families involved and connected to what’s happening in the classroom. Overall, this daycare goes beyond basic childcare. They focus on early education, emotional security, and social development in a way that feels intentional and well executed. I highly recommend them to any parent looking for a place where their child will be cared for, supported, and encouraged to grow.

My son and I have had such a wonderful experience at this daycare. There are many great aspects to the layout and decor of the space, as well as the safety features implemented, activities, curriculum, and, most importantly, the kind staff! We are grateful and truly love the Gardner School. The teachers and staff are so friendly, helpful, and take the care and safety of the children at their heart center. You can truly see it each day. Thank you TGS!

New school, kids are not in one room all day, different activities. More diversity than where I live which is great for my kids. Pricing is appropriate for what TGS is.

We have been really happy with the staff and their interactions with our children. At our last daycare the staff was disengaged and often on their phones or simply out of the room. The director takes the job seriously and is dedicated. The building is well lit, with lots of natural light and it’s clean.

We absolutely love The Gardner School for our two sons. From day one, it’s been such a happy, welcoming environment where our kids truly feel known and cared for. They’re learning so much more than just academics. There is a real emphasis on social-emotional learning, confidence, and kindness, which means so much to us as parents. The communication is top-notch. We love the frequent updates, photos, and insights into their days, which makes us feel very connected and reassured. We’re incredibly grateful for the teachers and staff and couldn’t recommend The Gardner School more highly to families looking for a nurturing, high-quality early education experience.
