Taking care of children is an extremely difficult and delicate thing. The staff at the Gardner school makes it look easy, even though we know it's very hard. I love that the leadership is transparent. I love that they are child-first, whether it be the daily grind of taking care of them or planning each and every event that is so much fun to attend. I'm sure there are other day care centers that are just as good. But for me? I pick Gardner 100/100.

We love the Gardner School - they have a curated curriculum that not only keeps things light and fun for my little one but helps her learn new things each week that she likes to surprise me with upon pickup. We're always greeted by the most welcoming staff and surrounded by staff that you can tell, really cares.

I love getting all of the updates on brightwheel. We've had great experiences too with the staff and teachers knowing our child and making us feel like she has really special care and attention when she's there every day.

app communication and pictures and videos, the various activities for kids and families to keep them engaged, not as much turnover as other schools (could improve a bit there), willingness to be flexible with cafeteria and milk options,

My son loved it here at Gardner. Sadly we had to move away but I would definitely recommend Gardner to anyone looking into it. Their teachers are very caring and will look after your little one!

Firstly, the educational structure is very clear and matches the children's developmental milestones by age. The curriculum provides reawonable challenges and attainable goals. The staff is great-from the administrative section, down to the part-time educators/caregivers, they show geniune care for the children's wellbeing, and provide a learning environment where the children LOVE to be in the facilty. Mrs. Q, the café wonder woman, is amazing! The meals she prepares are truly nutritious, but most importantly, has a bond with the kids promotes eating the healthy foods!

When I drop my son off in the morning he is so excited to be at school. Better yet, his teachers and the front office staff are excited to see him too! Everyone is so friendly and helpful. I love the daily feedback I get from his teacher at pick up time. The app is filled with information and pictures throughout the day but the extra conversation between his teacher and I about how his day went when I pick him up is extra meaningful to me. In addition to the teachers being wonderful, the director, assistant director and support coordinator are always friendly and helpful. We LOVE TGS and I highly recommend it to any parent seeking childcare. The entire staff cares life family and it makes dropping your child off for the day so much easier knowing you have so many people who actually care, caring for your child.

We love the staff at the Nashville location. We love how friendly we're greeted each morning, and how they know all the student's names. We feel the teachers genuinely care for our son. We know staffing is challenging, and appreciate the dedication to the students in ensuring there are caretakers daily. We feel TGS is an extension of our family, and are grateful for our son's learning and development (and the opportunity to get work done while he's at school).

I know my daughter’s teachers, floating teachers, admin staff, chef, etc all care about her and the other children that attend TGS. She is clearly very comfortable there and it is invaluable to me to have a safe, comfortable place for her to grow, learn and thrive!

We love our son’s teacher, Ms. Rachel. We can tell she genuinely cares for the kiddos in her room and that has been the biggest relief as a new parent, as dropping our child off with someone you don’t know has been such a daunting task. Ms. Rachel has made it an incredibly smooth and reassuring experience. We appreciate her so much!

The Gardner School has truly been a dream come true for our family! Not only do they take the best possible care of our child, but they also provide him with incredible opportunities to learn, grow, and thrive in ways we could only hope for. The level of communication they offer is outstanding—whether it’s through their warm, personal interactions or the fantastic dedicated app that keeps us updated every step of the way. What really sets them apart is their creativity! Every day feels like a new adventure for our son, with engaging and imaginative activities happening before, during, and after school. From exciting lessons to fun-filled events, it’s clear they put so much thought into making each day special. We feel so fortunate to be part of The Gardner School family. Watching our son flourish here brings us so much joy, and we can’t wait to see how he continues to grow and shine in such a nurturing and inspiring environment!

So far, everyone has been great to work with. We have had a few communication hick-ups, but we have adjusted and worked those out. While I understand there are a lot of children in my child's class, as a still relatively new family to TGS, it would be nice to to get more updates on what my child is doing throughout the day, and how they are interacting with others in their class.
