With a research-based curriculum and teacher/student ratios that are nearly half those of most public and private schools, your child will gain an academic edge right from the start. My son and I love TGS! He enjoys the fun activities, interacting with his friends and teacher, and the nutritious meals. The staff is so friendly, attentive, and engaged with both parents and children.

The teachers at The Gardner School are committed to connecting with your baby's unique schedule and needs from early on. With a day full of warm and nurturing interactions, movement and playtime, our infants have every opportunity to grow and develop a sense of trust and confidence in a secure learning environment. You can tell they really care about the babies in the room and get to know them individually. They are also super communicative, and I never feel out of touch with what is happening during the day.

Our teachers prepare our students for the academic challenges and environment they will encounter in Kindergarten and beyond, by tailoring the curriculum and lessons to the child's needs, encouraging meaningful learning experiences through play, and instilling a sense of responsibility, leadership, and independence during the Pre-K year. We recently transitioned from The Gardner School into our local public school kindergarten.
