Feels very safe and secure. But mostly the teachers and staff are awesome and make us feel so great leaving our daughter every day. They love her and that makes us so happy.
My daughter has been attending Gardner School - Powell since she was 4 months old and she has always had incredible experiences there. I trust the teachers and the administration and their care and love for every single child is beyond clear. I have seen my child thrive in every classroom with the teachers and I cannot believe how much my daughter is learning. All of this happens in a supportive environment with thoughtful and inclusive staff who make everyone feel welcome. I often hear from other parents who are jealous of our daycare experience and it's all because of the teachers and administrators at Gardner School in Powell.
The baby teachers have been wonderful and incredibly caring. The school has great communication and I appreciate the locked entry and awareness of the whole staff in regards to who usually picks up/drops off each kid.
We love the teachers! Seems very safe and the facilities are clean and comfortable. Very communicative throughout the day and love seeing all the activities. We LOVE Ms. Carli and Ms. Bailey!
We have had a wonderful experience at Gardner, thanks to the incredible staff. The teachers and administrators are the most warm and thoughtful bunch, and we love the regular community events that give us a chance to meet other parents. It means the world to us that our kiddo loves going to school each day. One suggestion: We've heard of some other centers offering a semi-regular "Parents Night Out" for an extra fee. I know we'd GLADLY pay extra for this, as it makes it so we don't have to find a babysitter or ask a grandparent to step in when we need a date night or some extra time to get things done!
I love that my kids feel so safe and happy at school. Even teachers that do not have my kids in their classes greet them by their names when we walk inside. My PreK son has improved on his writing and sight words so much. He is learning a lot and is definitely ready for kindergarten.
Gardner really offers quite a lot. I'm impressed by how much my kids experience in the classroom (even the babies) and appreciate the opportunity of enrichment classes. TGS also hosts a lot of events for families which we enjoy participating in.
We have thoroughly enjoyed our experience at the Powell Gardner School. Both of our children have thrived in this environment and also appreciate the introduction of meals.
Highly responsive administrative team. Additionally, the curriculum is thoughtfully planned. We have seen great growth in our children upon their transition to Gardner.
The staff is what separates the school which started when it was Compass and has continued. The diversity is huge. I don't know about other schools anymore but previous daycares we have been enrolled in never had male staff. So I would say the staff and culture. We love the curriculum and approach .
