The Gardner School has been the perfect fit for our daughter. From Day 1 I saw their commitment to her- not as a number, but to her holistic growth and well-being as an individual.
Gardner takes a collaborative approach which I truly appreciate. Having all caregivers aligned, supportive, and engaging in a team mindset plays a huge part in a child’s health and happiness. I have never felt less than respected and appreciated by the staff, and have tried to make them feel the same way. I was even invited to Gardner’s Muffins with Mom event, which was a lovely opportunity to meet like-minded parents!
My daughter’s grandmother always remarks, when she picks my daughter up, about how conspicuously clean and safe the environment is (and I feel the same way).
The staff is wonderful. My son is an only child and so he is with us a lot and he warmed up to his teachers after a week. The admin staff when at the front always says hi to my kiddo by name. They are very responsive and helpful with any question via portal.
We have had a good experience with both of our children. We really like some of the teachers and appreciate their relationship with the kids and us.
Don’t love the turnover rate.
We have had our son at Gardner since he was 2 years old and it has been a great experience! He has prospered so much with every teacher he has had. Sad that we have one more year, but we know that he will be prepared for kindergarten when he leaves this great school. I want to add that the staff has been a huge reason we’ve kept our son here. I would recommend this school to anyone.
The teachers are wonderful and both our kids and us as parents love interacting with the entire staff. The focus on learning, outside play, hands on play, and social interactions on a daily basis keep our kids well rounded and excited to attend every morning. The extra curriculars are an excellent additional. Our daughter has loved yoga, spanish, and piano.
Our transition to The Gardner School for our 2 year old was so smooth. The teachers really care about the kids and they welcomed him warmly. The curriculum engages my child and he comes home singing a new song or talking about a new book every day. Brittany and Rona were very helpful answering our questions, setting up a meet and greet, and ensuring our son was ready for his first day. Our son adores his teachers Ms. Vee and Ms. Mia and they are great assets to the school.
We love Miss Vee and Miss Mia! I can tell they are truly passionate about kids, and Miss Vee cares so much about really educating them. Both teachers are good at letting us know about any concerns, and working together with us to come up with solutions. Our daughter has really blossomed in their classroom and I truly think it's thanks to their structure and discipline.
I have loved the Gardner School experience and everything the school has provided our family. It provides a warm, welcoming place for my children to go during the week, and it provides a comforting and flexible daycare option for a family with two working parents. I cannot recommend The Gardner School enough and I am so glad we found it when we did!
There is a lot of communication and everything feels very organized. Even when there are weekly spirit weeks, communication is posted multiple times in multiple places. I genuinely feel like our daughter loves going to school and comes home having learned new things. They have whole food based meal plans that they share monthly and include lots of outdoor time.
Our daughter is in Imagination A woth Ms. Vee and Ms. Mia. They've been the best teachers. They communicate readily with updates on our daughter's day and have worked with us to help her master potty training! I can feel the care both Ver and Mia have for the kids while still providing structure and teaching. We couldn't be happier with them as our teachers.
The teachers are caring and resourceful, and I can tell how well loved my kids are. Plus the school is secure and administration is very attentive, so I don't worry about my children's safety. My kids are fed well, make good friends, and enjoy learning from school. I do wish uniforms weren't required as it adds an extra expense and an extra argument most mornings, plus I wish my older daughter had the freedom to express herself through her clothing, and I don't plan on sending my kids to a grade school that requires uniforms so I don't see any added benefit, but compared to the emotional trauma my oldest experienced at other daycares from her teachers, this is a significantly more trivial gripe.
Teachers really spend time to build up trust and relationships with kids. Creative school activities and solid learning skills are the key teachers provide in the classroom.
