What Parents Are Saying About The Gardner School
“Our family loves TGS! Our son has the best days at school with varied activities and lots of educational tools woven in. The teachers are amazing; everyone seems to know our son as he walks through the halls. We get so many daily updates and photos, and we love to see what he does on a daily basis!”
Caroline B., TGS Parent
“The Gardner School is simply the best! My son has been going here since he was only eight weeks old. Not only does he love it, but my husband and I could not feel more trust in the teachers taking care of him. The infant wing teachers go above and beyond, especially during a time when development is so important. We are so grateful we found our son such a wonderful place. I would recommend the school to anyone!”
Ellyn C., TGS Parent
“My son has been going here for almost a year now, and I can’t stress enough how hands-down spectacular this preschool is. The teachers are unbelievable, the curriculum is truly engaging, and it makes my son excited to go to school daily. They make him a better person and leave me happy to have them watch him every day. Cannot sing the praises of The Gardner School enough.”
Alexyn S., TGS Parent
“Our almost 2-year-old daughter has had an incredibly positive experience at Gardner. She loves to go to school in the morning. Her development has flourished. We have never been concerned about her safety. Her teachers are communicative, always sharing about her day and her development. The school has created a wonderful sense of community where we feel part of something bigger.”
Michelle M., TGS Parent
“The teachers and administrators at TGS are unmatched. The way we have seen our daughter thrive in each of the classrooms she has been through is all you can ask for as a parent when you’re selecting a preschool. Each teacher has loved our daughter as their own, and it’s so special. It’s easy to see how much everyone at TGS cares about every family. 100/10, we recommend TGS to everyone we know!”
