About
The Gardner School offers an academically focused preschool and childcare program that blends traditional and Montessori styles of learning. Children participate in programs that support growth through intentional learning, meaningful peer connections and friendships, and calm, thoughtfully designed spaces. The school includes a Kids’ Café and an enrichment studio, and classrooms have large windows for natural light and accountability, with a two-tier level of security and an open-door policy for parent check-ins.
• Ages: 0–5 years old
The Gardner School offers infants, toddlers, twos, preschool, pre-K, and kindergarten programs as part of its premier preschool experience for children ages 6 weeks to 5 years. A Curriculum Coordinator serves all classrooms, and teachers stay with the classroom for continuity and consistency. Teachers can share photos and updates with parents in real time through a parent communications app, and the school holds parent/teacher conferences twice a year.
Staff members are trained in CPR and first aid, pass state examinations, are screened properly, and receive ongoing training and professional development. Teachers are required to pass stringent background screenings and complete extensive and ongoing development and training. The Gardner School is not a franchised organization and maintains consistency throughout its schools in leadership, environment, and educational philosophy. It serves young children and their families in Colorado, Illinois, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Ohio, Tennessee, and Virginia.
The Gardner School states that it has created a rich learning environment to stimulate children’s physical, social, emotional, and intellectual growth. It states that each child is provided with experiences that enhance self-esteem during the adjusting, exploring, and growing stages of child development. The school’s stated approach is to nurture each child’s learning experience at the proper pace and to foster creativity, exploration, and acceptance as part of an enriched educational experience.
Parents describe The Gardner School as a place where teachers are “amazing” and “unbelievable,” and where their children are excited to go to school, with varied activities and educational tools woven into the day. Several parents note frequent daily updates and photos, strong communication about their child’s development, and a sense of community. Parents also report positive experiences in the infant wing, describe the facility as clean, and say they feel trust in the teachers and staff. Multiple parents state that they recommend The Gardner School to others and refer to it as a “second family” and “simply the best.”
