We are so grateful to have a place like The Gardner School of Franklin, we completely trust all the teachers and feel at ease when sending our little one to school. Everyone is so kind and we (including our babe) could not be happier there!
After Covid, the teacher retention has been more consistent. I also love that there’s a playground inside so the kids can still get energy out. The curriculum this year has been better than in Covid years and the students seem to be learning more.
Teachers are able to answer any questions I have about my child's day. I like the messaging feature on Brightwheel because I can directly communicate with the teachers if I need to mention something, and vice versa. Upon coming into the classroom to pick up my child, I can tell by the appearance of the classroom that my child is being cared for with good quality. In other words, I do not see evidence of poor care.
I believe her teacher’s care about my child and her classmates. I know she likes going to school everyday. I love Brightwheel and being able to see her throughout the day!
Our children have had the most wonderful teachers while at the Gardner School and we have enjoyed all the activities planned by the staff and extra curriculars offered by the school as well! We have had great experiences at this school during our past five years of attending and I consider the teachers and staff top notch!
The level of security is amazing. I’m never concerned when I drop off my girls.
The quality of staff is awesome. While there is some turnover with staff I’m always confident that whoever comes in will be amazing and take good care of my children.
I have an infant and a toddler at The Gardner School and I get so many updates and photos throughout the day. It’s hard being away from them and working so it always brightens my day when I can see what they are up to and learning. The photos are always a good pick me up.
I’ve really enjoyed seeing Ayansh’s progress, especially in reading and writing. I’m so happy and satisfied with how far he’s come. It’s truly exciting to witness his continuous growth and improvement, and I’m looking forward to even more progress ahead!
Additionally, extra-curricular activities, especially when it comes to art and craft. It's a skill that I find both fulfilling and creative.
The faculty and staff members are incredibly warm and welcoming, creating an environment that truly feels like home. Their kindness and support foster a sense of belonging, making it easy to engage and thrive.
I received an update from my child's homeroom teacher about their first day, which was very pleasant and reassuring. The school has experienced teachers and offers various developmental programs for children. My daughter loves going to this school and enjoys her stay during the day.
We have enjoyed our time. We like that the classes are so education focused. Our son will be reading before kindergarten at this rate! All of the teachers we have had are great. Our son likes the food too!
I cannot say enough good things about Gardner School in Cool Springs! My little boy started at six weeks old and he's now over one year old... I am proud to say every teacher and staff member has made an impact and loved on my kid like their own. He's learning and having fun - and above all being well take care of each and every day. This is a special place with special people - THANK YOU!!
Teachers have been great and accommodating kids with their needs and are so caring! Lindsey in the Cafe is the best! She’s been able to support dietary restrictions and has been great with communication with us.
