Summer at TGS


Wings & Wonder: A Summer of Discovery for Curious Young Minds

At The Gardner School, summer becomes something magical. Our Wings & Wonder 2026 theme invites children to explore, imagine, and grow through a season filled with curiosity, creativity, and joyful learning.

Designed for toddlers through Pre-K, our summer program blends play-based learning with hands-on exploration, giving children the freedom to spread their wings in a nurturing, engaging environment. It’s a natural entry point for new families, and a season current families look forward to all year. Children continue building confidence, social skills, and early academic foundations through meaningful routines, all with a little extra sunshine mixed in.

A Summer Highlight for Preschool & Pre-K

Our Preschool and Pre-K students take their learning even further through a new collaborative summer project inspired by Wings & Wonder. Throughout the summer, children will explore big ideas like nature, movement, creativity, and imagination, working together on hands-on investigations that evolve week by week. This project-based experience encourages deeper thinking, creativity, and teamwork, giving children a sense of pride as they contribute to something meaningful and share their discoveries along the way.

What Makes Wings & Wonder Special:

  • Hands-on art, sensory activities, and creative expression
  • S.T.E.A.M. focused activities all summer (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math)
  • Daily outdoor play and nature-based learning
  • Water play days to cool off and have fun
  • Special guests and community visitors
  • Dress-up days and themed summer celebrations
  • Special Summer at TGS Wings & Wonder T-shirt to wear on Fridays
