The Gardner School of Herndon

"I moved to the area and after my son being home for 2 years during the pandemic, I was so nervous about a new school. TGS welcomed us with open arms. His Pre-K3 teachers (Ms. Wei & Ms. Sabita) made him feel comfortable and he learned so much! He went on to Pre-K4 with Ms. Erika and Ms. Mata and he thrived! Ms. Erika is the absolute best! She listens to your concerns and she pushed my son academically. What a great team! As a mom, any concerns I had was heard and action was taken from the front desk staff and the director. We will miss TGS!"

"I am so incredibly please with this school. My son, Thomas, who is 14mo, really enjoys going to school every morning, and as a mother, that makes me so proud! I searched for a very long time to find the perfect school, and here we are! The staff is always so warm and welcoming, and everyone knows him by name! I must say, we both love his teachers very much - especially Mrs. Mary! She was the first teacher that he's had in the few months he's attended, but I can tell that he loves her so much. She is so nurturing and I can tell that she loves what she does - such a great feeling! I am VERY observant and I notice how she interacts with him (and the other children), and it really put me at ease. I am very comfortable with this and I'm so glad that Mrs. Marilyn continued to follow-up with me, she's the reason we are here! And, I can't forget Ms. Samantha. Although she is no longer his teacher, she was such a joy! So attentive and so friendly - Thomas loved her! So much so, that he still gets her attention every time she walks down the hallway - never enough hugs and kisses. Final note - As an african american, I always look for representation of our race and culture when making decisions. I love that TGS has not only diversity in students, and staff, but the toys and books as well - that goes such a long way! All in all, we are extremely satisfied with our decision to enroll at the gardner school."

"Nice facility for kids. This was on my list on top daycare schools in herndon and Reston area. They have a big cafeteria and a playground and well maintained classrooms. The only thing which personally to me was important was online camera to view ur kid..they don't have the live streaming...but again that was my priority ..."

"We love The Gardner School! All of the teachers are great with the children and the staff were helpful and responsive to any questions or concerns. Our son excelled immediately after he started there. We also sent our infant to the school. She was so well cared for and loved. Highly recommend!"

"The Gardner School has been an outstanding place for our 3 year old son. We had to transfer him from a different school to The Gardner School and the difference has been day and night. Not only is the facility modern and beautiful, but I have seen nothing but top-notch professionalism with all their staff and teachers. Director Ms. Sarah and Assistant Director Ms. Marilynn have been very kind, extremely supportive and accommodating. My son has been taught by 2 very strong teachers Ms. Madhavi and Ms. Sarada so far. They have been giving him a lot of positive attention and encouraging him to express himself more. My son happens to be a little on the sensitive side and has a hard time communicating his feelings and emotions. We have seen a world of difference since he started attending the Gardner School! We get frequent photos and updates about his activities, mood, and meals throughout the day. Sometimes we try to go and observe their classrooms from the outside and you can tell the teachers are truly committed and passionate about teaching and caring for the little ones. The curriculum is very strong. I love how they have their own clean cafeteria where the kids go and eat healthy organic meals and snacks. I can go on and on but the bottom line is we are very blessed to have such a great school so close to us. Thank you Gardner School for taking such good care of our son :)"
