Caring, thoughtful, engaged, fun, and supportive teachers and staff! The facility is clean and clearly designed for kids. I can tell how much my kids are learning - education-wise as well as how to interact with others. I'm so grateful for TGS!
TGS Saint Louis Park is more than just an incredible Preschool it is a community and a family. There are so many special events throughout the year that bring families together to cheer on their students accomplishments. The Teachers at TGS are very nurturing and engaging and truly care about each student. If your looking for a wonderful 1st school for your little one and a place they will always remember, this is your school!
Miss Uma and Miss Emelie have been the joy of my daughter’s life since she started there a year ago. She asks for them by name and gets excited for school. I’m so grateful for them allowing her little light to shine!
It's a great environment to not only work, but for my children to attend. I am very pleased with the academic progress my children are making and it's a great environment to be apart of.
TGS is clean, well organized, and keeps my daughter happy and busy with lots of fun activities! She loves spending time with her teachers and classmates.
The staff and teachers are such great partners in raising excellent kids who value friendship and learning. Communication is clear and consistent, and I'm grateful for the opportunities my kids have each day. Thank you TGS!
TGS has been absolutely amazing for our little guy. He has truly never been so happy at daycare (the BIGGEST smiles in every single photo) and you can tell the teachers absolutely love what they do and pour their hearts into each and every child. We are so thankful we found TGS!
Our daughter has only been at Gardner for a little over a month and it has been an incredible experience so far! The entire staff has been welcoming, knowledgeable, friendly and so loving to our baby. My husband and I often remark how confident we feel leaving her because we know she is in such wonderful hands. She is safe, cared for and loved, and on top of all of that, they do such wonderful programming and fun activities. We are excited for her to grow in the Gardner community! We are so happy with our decision to choose Gardner and would recommend to anyone!
We absolutely love the teachers and the overall supportive environment at TGS. Both our kids love school and have thrived having structure to their days along with plenty of time to play and explore.
My only complaints are uniforms and pressure around enrichments. I group them together because we were told the goal of uniforms was equity and not having kids be jealous of each other. Our kid has never once mentioned what another kid is wearing on the (plenty of) non-uniform days. However, every week we hear about which kids are leaving class for various enrichments. It seems at odds if the uniforms are necessary for classroom harmony to then be singling kids out almost every day of the week. If enrichments really need to stay, could they be at the end of the school day so they're just leaving class early? With regards to the uniform themselves, we don't see a huge social benefit, they cost 4x what we normally spend on clothes, and it's just another thing to keep track of.
Both of my kids love going to school each day. The staff is friendly and communicative, and the teachers are fantastic - engaging, playful and ready to introduce my kids to so many new ideas and things to learn. The culture feels collaborative, respectful, kind and fun! I'm very grateful we found TGS.
We absolutely love the teachers! They keep our girls wrapped in snuggles and enriched all day. We love seeing pictures in our app of all the creative activities throughout the day. Very happy to have found Gardner SLP!
I love how clean it feels in the building. I love how it feels very secure entering the school. I love how each teacher really cares about each child & tries to keep things very personalized. My favorite part is how my daughter claps in the car when we pull into the parking lot because she is so excited to go into school!
Teachers are engaged and kind, and staff is communicative and organized. My sons are learning so much and having fun while doing it! The environment feels stable - and joyful. I'm so grateful to TGS for the positive experience they've created for my kids' earliest years. Thank you for everything you do!
