  We love the Gardner School (TGS) of Arlington. The staff are always super nice, and we adore the teachers, especially Ms. Lauren! Our little guy is happy as a clam whenever he goes to day care. The various events and learning activities hosted by TGS always gives us the assurance that our son is in good hands. And of course, that puts a smile to us every day. :) We highly recommend the TGS!

  Our family could not be happier with this daycare. My daughter has been a student here for about a year and truly loves it. What truly sets this daycare apart is the staff. In particular, Ms. Michelle and Ms. Danielle are everything you’d want in a preschool teacher - attentive, patient, nurturing, organized, and thoughtful. They really take the time to understand each child’s unique personality, interests, and developmental pace. I am also impressed with the information they are able to send to parents to keep us updated throughout the day - some pictures of the fun activities they are doing, what she ate for lunch, when she napped, etc. - and as a working parent, it gives me so much peace of mind. The atmosphere at the school is warm and welcoming, and every staff member greets my daughter by name every morning. The facility itself is clean, bright, and well-organized, with age-appropriate toys and learning materials. They have floor-to-ceiling windows in every classroom so it is nice to be able to catch a glimpse of what my child is doing before I walk in to pick her up, and they are committed to their “open door” policy of allowing parents to drop in whenever they want to. As far as the curriculum goes, we are impressed with the breadth of what they incorporate into their learning every week. There is a true emphasis on social-emotional learning and they actively help the children identify and express their feelings, practice kindness, and build confidence. There’s also a big emphasis on language development through daily story time, regular songs, interactive discussions, etc. And they offer a wide variety of enrichment activities to round out their curriculum too; so far, my daughter has enjoyed her weekly dance class, art class, a holiday craft program, and a cooking class. They also offer: free 30 minute parking in the garage of the building; an easy, digital sign in and sign out system so you’re not ever waiting for your kid; they have a stroller room for parents that are within walking distance. So, lots of nice touches that add up to a very convenient process. We wholeheartedly recommend this daycare to any family looking for a caring, enriching, and trustworthy place for their little one.

  The Gardner School of Arlington is an absolute blessing. We had to experience a transition from one day care to another for our 20 months old baby and we found this school. Entire staff: director, assistant director, teachers, who are not even in my child's class were incredibly helpful, loving, understanding and every kind word you can find. But wanted to especially highlight the most amazing teacher of all - Ms. Jamie. Rivas. she makes every day a good day. creativity, love, patience and good heart is everything plus more that we were hoping for. she is everything! i cannot thank her enough for everything that she does daily. if we have to do it again - this would be the only choice. Gardner School of Arlington, THANK YOU

  We couldn’t be happier with our experience at The Gardner School of Arlington. The environment is absolutely beautiful—clean, bright, and inspiring—and it’s made a real difference for our children. Our son adores Ms. Beza. Her easygoing and friendly nature has helped him settle in so well, and he’s noticeably happier here than in his previous setting. It’s been a joy to see him so content and confident over the past three months. Our daughter has also flourished under the care of Ms. Michelle. We really value her proactive communication and feel like we’ve built a true partnership with her when it comes to supporting our daughter’s development. Both of our children are excited to go to school every single day. They’ve made lovely friendships, and their teachers play a huge role in creating that warm, welcoming atmosphere. We’re incredibly grateful to the staff for all they do. Highly recommend!

  Honestly, this school is doing God’s work! Returning to work when my boy was only 6 months old was so heavy on me but seeing how loving and caring they are towards him has made this transition so much easier. He is always happy to see them as they are to see him. Thank you Ms. Lauren, Ms. Felicia and the whole staff who are all just so warm and fantastic. The director and her assistant are also just awesome people. I must also add that the place is really clean, beautiful , and fit for purpose. It is the gold standard.

  We are so happy to have found The Gardner School of Arlington! The staff and teachers are energized, engaging, thoughtful, kind, and caring, which makes drop-off so much easier each morning. We’ve been incredibly impressed with the communication, well-designed curriculum, knowledgeable staff, and the high-quality food offered. Our children are excited to go to their "new school" every morning, and they come home each evening with huge smiles, eager to share all the fun things they did and learned during the day. We are thrilled with our decision to enroll them at The Gardner School and couldn’t recommend it enough!
