Educational Philosophy
Teacher and studentThe Gardner School's educational philosophy encourages a learning environment that stimulates and nurtures children's growth and development. Our unique learning atmosphere incorporates a careful blend of Traditional and Montessori styles of learning through teacher directed activities and structured play. We believe that each child should be provided with experiences of self-esteem, which are essential in the adjusting, exploring and growing stages of child development. This approach ensures that each child's learning experience at The Gardner School will be nurtured at the proper pace and level, and will provide them with the educational foundation for a bright future.

Teaching Philosophy
The Gardner School's carefully balanced program features a full day of developmentally and age-appropriate lessons and activities that your child will enjoy. Whether infant, toddler or preschool, our teachers provide lessons and activities that help develop the whole child – physically, emotionally, intellectually, and socially. Understanding that each child is unique, our teaching philosophy incorporates structured activities while remaining flexible enough to foster self-discovery that will help each child explore and learn at their own pace.

At TGS, early childhood education is redefined. Each member of our faculty and every aspect of our learning programs are dedicated to enable your child to be the best he or she can be.
