The Gardner School of Midtown- Nashville 1811 State Street, Nashville, TN 37203

"I honestly cannot say enough good things about Gardner! After transferring to this school last year I instantly felt a sense of peace. From the teachers to the administration there is such a level of excellence. My baby and toddler are so loved and cared for. Each program and activity is curated with such intention and dedication. Honestly their Black History month activities blew me away! We love it here :)"

"We absolutely love the staff and teachers at The Gardner School Midtown. Everyone knows my daughter by name. The leaders (Lauren, Logan and Jessie) are absolutely amazing! The communication and wide variety of programs offered is top notch. We know that our child will be well prepared for Kindergarten because of high quality teachers like Ms. Vera, Ms. Michayla and Ms. Ciara. We cannot thank them enough for all that they do. As an educator that’s been in this field for several years, I wouldn’t hesitate..I highly recommend The Gardner School (Midtown)."

"My family has been attending the Gardner School since 2019, and we love it! My oldest son is in the preK classroom now, and I know he will be more than prepared for kindergarten next year. They use a structured age-appropriate curriculum in the classroom starting as young as age 2, and it's amazing to see the skills and knowledge my kids pick up everyday. The school also has lots of cool "extras" - enrichment classes like soccer, Spanish, sports, gymnastics, dance, music; and "Camp Gardner" over the summer, where they have bounce houses, water days, a petting zoo, and more. The teachers and staff really care and get to know your kids. Many of them have also been there for years, which is awesome since my kids like them so much and get attached. All the other families I've met here are wonderful as well. Definitely a 5+ star place!"

"We were able to transfer to Gardner from another well known school in Midtown about 1 year ago and I have to say I have not been happier! Every class teacher we have had with our 2 sons have been amazing and have been there for years which says a lot! The administrative staff is so kind and very accommodating and communicate so well. There are so many opportunities for extracurriculars. And they constantly have fun events going on. Each class has a learning schedule and you know exactly what your kid is learning so you can recognize their improvements each day. I think school is so important for development in the early years and you can feel safe and confident you are getting the right care with Gardner. I can’t recommend this school enough!"

"Our child has been at Gardner for the last 2 1/2 years and we have all been so happy here. The staff and teachers are great and we love the curriculum and fun and creative activities they offer for learning. Our daughter loves the teachers and staff and we have been really impressed with their communication and her learning progress. The really do care about the kids education and well being/happiness. We tried another daycare for a short time that was similar to Gardner, however, it did not offer the communication, supportive/fun learning environment and safety we were wanting that Gardner offers. If we have ever had any questions or concerns the staff and teachers have been very easy to communicate with and accommodating. I feel a lot of peace knowing my daughter is in good hands when I drop her off every day. Between the teachers/staff and sense of community they work to create within the school, Gardner has come to feel like family and I would recommend them to any of my friends with kiddos."
