A child’s introduction to learning often begins as early as preschool. Teachers of these little learners typically set the tone for a child’s future experience in the classroom. When great teachers bring energy, enthusiasm, kindness, and compassion, it sets the foundation for a lifetime of learning and growth.
At The Gardner School, we’re grateful to work alongside confident, caring, and capable teachers every day. In honor of their hard work year-round, The Gardner School recognizes stellar early childhood educators who have had a special impact on their school by naming them “Teacher of the Year.” For 2022, we’re honoring excellent teachers across seven states. From the entire TGS team, congratulations to these incredible Teachers of the Year:
