When teachers feel valued and taken care of, they give that energy right back to their students. For this reason, and many others, The Gardner School continually goes above and beyond to make sure that our teachers have the support and opportunities they need to have a fulfilling, inspired career. Here are just a few of the ways that our administration invests in our teachers.
Growth Opportunities
We strongly believe in promoting from within, rewarding our amazing teachers with opportunities to grow within our privately-owned company. By providing our teachers with the ability to advance their careers, we reduce turnover and build a team of knowledgeable educators who dedicate themselves to our students’ growth and development. We’re building our teams with long-term goals in mind, fostering an environment of collaboration and growth.
Gifts of Gratitude
It’s important to us that our teachers know how much we appreciate their dedication to our students. They spend their time creating thoughtful lessons, communicating with parents, and keeping our little ones safe. The quality of our teachers is one thing that makes our school such a wonderful place to learn. To show them how grateful we are for their commitment to education, The Gardner School’s leadership and our supportive TGS parents love to encourage our teachers with gifts of appreciation. No matter if it’s Teacher Appreciation Week, a holiday, or “just because,” we will always have a reason to celebrate our teachers.
Caring and Safe Work Environment
Everything we do at The Gardner School is done with our teachers in mind. We create a caring and safe work environment for them to thrive in, and we always have our doors open to hear their questions and help them to overcome any challenges. The family atmosphere that we’ve fostered encourages celebrating our teachers’ personal milestones and professional accomplishments—though we strive to make them feel special every day!
Professional Development
It is crucial to The Gardner School that our teachers learn the latest in early childhood development. That’s why we provide in-service programs, staff meetings, orientation programs, and other opportunities. When teachers are growing in their skills and knowledge, our students enjoy the benefits; and parents can feel great knowing that their little ones are receiving an outstanding education with the most innovative teaching techniques.
