The Gardner School of 9+CO

We brought our daughter here when she was around one. It was such a hard transition for all of us to have her out of the home for the first time. We really appreciate how thoughtful and responsive everyone at Gardner was during this time. They took the time to observe her and find the right environment for her. Once we got into our room with Ms. Jayden, we started to feel the relief of knowing our child was happy at school. Ms. Jayden, and later Teacher Skylar, were so invested in our child and made her feel special and loved each day. She blossomed in so many new ways. It truly takes a village and we are happy to have these special educators in ours.

The Gardner School has been an incredible experience for our family. With two children there, we’ve seen firsthand how consistently warm, thoughtful, and high-quality the environment is. Ms. Paulina, Mr. Manny, Ms. Leslie, Ms. Susie, Ms. Sloan, Ms. Wendy, Ms. Maddie, are exceptional teachers—patient, engaged, and truly invested in each child’s growth. My kids feel known, supported, and excited to learn every day. The leadership from Ms. Charlotte and Ms. Meghan is equally impressive. They are present, communicative, and clearly care deeply about the school community. The Gardner School strikes the perfect balance of strong academics and nurturing care, and we feel so grateful our children are there.

We love TGS! The teachers and staff are so helpful and the environment feels safe and loving. My son asked to see his teachers (Ms Susie and Ms Slone) on Christmas morning he likes them so much! Ms. Mary was my son’s teacher when he was an infant and our infant daughter is in Ms. Mary’s class now. She feels like an important part of our family and I am so comfortable with her watching my baby! Having someone you know and trust watching over your little ones made the transition back to work so much easier. Would recommend TGS to any friend looking for a place to send their child.

We absolutely love The Gardner School. My daughter is 2 and has been attending for two years, moving through three classrooms, and every transition has been wonderful. She’s always excited to go each morning — and most days she doesn’t want to leave, which says so much about how happy and comfortable she feels there. Her current teachers, Ms. Cat and Ms. Eva, are incredible. They keep her engaged, supported, and excited to learn through so many fun activities. We’re also grateful for Ms. Brooke, her former teacher, who made her earlier experience so special. I love the direct and constant communication throughout the day. The updates, photos, and messages give me so much peace of mind and let me feel connected to her day — it truly makes a difference and allows me to help recap her day with her when I pick her up. My daughter has learned so much, made close friends who have grown with her, and genuinely thrives here. I couldn’t be more confident or grateful for the care she receives at The Gardner School.

When we moved to Denver with our 1.5-year-old, we were nervous about the daycare transition, but The Gardner School (9th + CO) made it seamless. Ms. Jayden and Ms. Skylar were incredibly supportive and helped him quickly feel comfortable and confident. He came home happy every day. Now in Ms. Pam and Ms. Destiny’s toddler class, he continues to thrive. They’ve been wonderful with his development and especially supportive during potty training. He’s always excited to go to school, which says everything. We’re so grateful for the caring teachers and highly recommend this school!
