Well run school. We feel very comfortable with managements decision and communication. At every level with our kids the teachers care about our kids and know them even if they are not specifically in their class room. Great place to be!

We can't speak highly enough about The Gardner School- Edina! After more than five years, this place truly feels like an extension of our family. From the moment we first stepped through their doors, we knew it was the right choice for our children. The teachers are incredible—warm, attentive, and passionate about their work. The curriculum is thoughtful, engaging, and perfectly balanced, with just the right mix of academic preparation and creative play. Our daughter was SO ready for kindergarten after leaving. On top of that, the overall atmosphere of the daycare is inviting and well-organized. Communication has always been great. Whether it's the structured learning experiences, loving teachers, or the fun and memorable events they host throughout the year. We'd recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat!

Amazing teachers and atmosphere. They really take the time to get to know your child and what makes them so unique. Teachers usually have a nice little anecdote to share at pick up. Minimal turnover in staff. Great facility, clean organized, colorful and engaging. We love how our kids thirive there and my son just graduated and is more than prepared for Kindergarten! Love love love all things!

The teachers at every age have been so wonderful to our kids. You can tell they genuinely love the ages they work with and are passionate about teaching and caring for kids on a personal level. I'm consistently amazed by the things the school is teaching and how quickly our kids have learned new skills. Cleanliness and safety was a big priority when deciding on a daycare and TGS is top notch. I am so grateful that my kids love going and developed strong bonds with the teachers. I've referred several friends and coworkers and will continue to do so.

We've sent three kids to Gardner - all three LOVED their experience. They came home happy every day. The two that have graduated so far were so, so prepared for Kindergarten, both acedemically and socially. We are very lucky have found such a great place for our kids.

We have been attending The Gardner School in Edina for 5 years. Our eldest just graduated and started kindergarten last week - she was so well prepared for school thanks to the amazing teachers at The Gardner School! Our youngest just started preschool there and we are so excited for her to continue on. We have had an amazing experience.

We have loved our experience at Gardner. From the teachers, to administrators, to extracurricular leaders, and chefs we know our children are being cared for and stimulated everyday. It is such a wonderful community and the lack of turnover speaks volumes of Corrie’s leadership.

It would be nice to feel less like a "number."For example, if my daughter is sick or absent - the teacher should check in or the office staff at a minimum. There is no excuse not to do this. The teachers are so hardworking but often times seems over worked. Front desk staff at our school has a particularly cold presence.

I loved how involved not only the teachers were but the whole staff with my daughter. They all seemed to know her. They were very honest in any feedback I asked for. They also showed genuine concern for her health whenever she was sick.

There are so many things we love about The Gardner. The teachers are incredibly supportive and always make our kids feel seen and cared for. You can truly feel the love and dedication from the entire staff, it's clear they treat each child like their own. The warmth the teachers show every day creates such a comforting environment. We also really appreciate the thoughtful extracurricular activities they offer, and how they always take time to listen to parents and actually follow through on any concerns. Most of all, we feel our kids are safe, happy, and thriving there.

We have nothing but positive things to say about TGS Edina! The way all the staff loved and cared for our kids was so comforting. From the teachers to the administration, everyone was so wonderful. TGS Edina is such a welcoming, safe, and inclusive environment. We cannot thank them enough for all they have done for both of our kids!

The Gardner School was a wonderful experience for our family. Everyone was so kind, welcoming, and communicative. We especially enjoyed the app and the ability to easily communicate and follow along on our kids’ days. Miss Amber was such an amazing teacher and so good to both of our kids. We’re very grateful for our time with The Gardner School.
