THE GARDNER SCHOOL OF BRENTWOOD

We had a very disappointing experience with The Gardner School of Brentwood. While the school heavily markets itself as academically focused and premium, we found the actual level of care, communication, and responsiveness to parent concerns to be severely lacking. What stood out most was the dismissive attitude when legitimate concerns were raised. Instead of feeling heard or supported as parents, we often felt brushed aside and treated as though our concerns were inconveniences rather than important discussions about our child’s wellbeing and experience. For a school operating at this price point and branding itself around excellence, the customer service and parent communication fell far below expectations. Professionalism and empathy matter just as much as academics in early childhood education, and unfortunately that balance seemed missing here. We ultimately left feeling disappointed not only in the level of support provided, but in the overall culture surrounding parent engagement and care. I would strongly encourage prospective parents to look beyond the marketing materials and ask detailed questions about how concerns are actually handled once your child is enrolled.

We have been a TGS family for 6 years now, with 2 kids, and are so happy to be part of this community. The kids have always received such loving care and attention and adored their teachers. They also receive a great education here - our oldest was very well prepared to begin kindergarten (even though it's a big adjustment, no matter what). Most recently, Ms. Paula has been an amazing toddler teacher for our little one! She plans such enriching activities for the kids, shows us through the app what they are doing, and gives us detailed updates. She has such a big heart and a beautiful bond with the kids. Over the years, the current management has always struck a great balance between understanding the needs of working parents and prioritizing the safety of students and staff. We feel confident leaving our treasured kids in their hands and have loved watching them bloom in the care of these amazing staff and teachers. We cannot recommend TGS Brentwood enough!

We’ve been lucky enough to find TGS at a time when we needed it most. The infant teachers have been so loving and attentive to our little one. We are grateful for Anna, Caroline & Faith. The school has provided us a village. The teachers do a great job of giving us detailed updates with notes and pictures throughout the day. We know that if you choose to bring your little one here you’ll feel the love & care as well. We can’t recommend TGS enough.

We have been with The Gardner School of Brentwood for several months now and have absolutely loved it. Our 2 year old had a hard transition as it was her first time in childcare. We went through a week or two of tears at every goodbye, but most importantly felt fully supported by the staff. We would get several pictures throughout the day, and they are quick to answer any questions. If you were looking for more than just someone to watch your child everyday.. and want to invest in them learning proactively, investing in their growth, and creating a small family environment with the staff.. Then this is the school for you.

We love The Gardner School ("TGS") and all the teachers and staff have been amazing. Our daughter currently has Miss Alyssa, and she is so sweet to her and always makes her feel special and heard each morning when she comes in to say hi and give her a hug. We feel very fortunate to have found TGS and will be sad when she graduates this year. She also has loved the summer programs and special guests each year.
