Preschool Lead Teachers

The Gardner School’s early childhood education program utilizes nationally recognized curriculums and practices. We hire highly qualified teachers to ensure our students receive the full benefits of their experience and our curriculum. One of our core initiatives is to create a team of teachers who are knowledgeable about early childhood education and provide our team with access to opportunities to further their education and enhance their skills. We recognize the impact our teachers have on the lives of every student who walks through our doors. To celebrate our teachers, we want to share the many ways we ensure the quality of TGS educators.

“The TGS administration always treats me with empathy, respect, and love, which empowers me to do the same for my students.” – Sarah S., 2023 Teacher Of The Year, TGS Nashville Midtown

Ongoing Education and Training

The Gardner School values our teachers and provides ongoing support in a variety of ways to ensure they feel inspired, engaged, and supported in their important work. We also host in-service training programs, staff meetings, orientation programs, and other training and ongoing education opportunities to ensure our teachers continue to provide the highest quality of care and education in their classrooms. 

When teachers are growing in their skills and knowledge, our students enjoy the benefits, and so do parents! You can feel great knowing that your little one is receiving an outstanding education with the most innovative teaching techniques. 

“Children make mistakes. It’s normal for them to make mistakes while learning new things. With love and positive guidance, these mistakes are the stepping stones that bring impactful learning.” – Natalie G., 2023 Teacher Of The Year, TGS Minnetonka

Qualified and Caring 

The Gardner School takes great pride in building and maintaining a well-trained, caring, and motivated team. We ensure that all teachers meet the proper qualifications set forth by each state. In addition, our teachers receive stringent background screenings, health screenings, and a thorough review of personal references. The Gardner School also practices risk management drills with our teachers, who are all certified in first aid and CPR.

Passion for Education

We are passionate about our work at The Gardner School and believe teaching young children is a privilege. During these critical early learning years, we have the ability to help our students learn, develop, and build skills necessary to succeed in school and life! A passion for teaching is just one of the key qualities embodied by teachers at The Gardner School

“Being at school helps children develop social and emotional skills. Children build confidence on their own by getting dressed and putting on shoes independently, serving their own food, and cleaning up spills. Self–confidence gives children extra energy to learn new things and make new friends.” – Shenika R., 2023 Teacher Of The Year, TGS Naperville

A Preschool With Teachers You Can Trust

The Gardner School makes it a priority to hire the most qualified, empathetic, and highly skilled teachers as part of our team. We understand how important it is to trust your child’s teachers and know that they are cared for and nurtured as they learn and grow.
