Description

The Gardner School’s infant program provides a warm, nurturing environment where babies build trust, confidence, and early learning skills. Guided by The Creative Curriculum for Infants, Toddlers, and Twos, teachers foster exploration through responsive, individualized care. Nursery suites feature personalized touches like individual cribs and family photos, while small ratios, a shoe-free policy, and flexible feeding and diapering routines ensure a safe, clean, and tailored experience. We maintain strong parent communication through real-time updates, developmental assessments, and shared moments via our app. Teachers use American Sign Language to support early communication and incorporate Itsy Bitsy Yoga to promote sleep, digestion, and well-being. By honoring each infant’s unique schedule, we provide attentive care that supports growth, connection, and development from the start.

I was incredibly concerned about two things when we made the decision to put our son in daycare: his safety and his development. I was apprehensive about the ability of individuals outside our family to nurture him and make him feel content and safe every day. TGS has exceeded our expectations and we are so happy our son is thriving there.

We've been having a positive experience at the school overall. We are very impressed with the facilities and the director and assistant director have been really approachable and kind whenever we raise concerns.
