Gardner in Edina has been a second home to our kiddos for almost 3 years now. Teachers and staff you can tell - love being there! As soon as we walk in the door my kids laugh, smile and my son runs to give his teachers and friends a hug. They have been there since infants and have really grown with the place. The space is perfect for Minnesota weather with big open indoor and outdoor play spaces, alot of light, tidy and organized :) We were referred by our neighbor and have recommended to many families along the way. Truely been a blessing! Thank you to the crew and leaders at TGS for making the transition to daycare and preschool so easy!

We’ve had an excellent experience with TGS Edina and have recommended it to all our family and friends looking for a supportive, safe, clean, and nurturing place to send their kids. It’s immediately clear TGS teachers and staff love being around and caring for children. Would highly recommend!

Over the past 5 years, our experience with The Gardner School of Edina has been nothing short of remarkable. Every morning, when we dropped off our little one, we were met with warm smiles and open arms, making not just our daughter, but also us, feel enveloped in a community of care and compassion.Their curriculum wasn’t just about learning—it was about laying a foundation of curiosity, resilience, and readiness. As our daughter takes her first steps into kindergarten, we genuinely feel she's been given a head start, all thanks to the thoughtful lessons and experiences provided by The Gardner School.The devotion shown by both the teachers and the management is immeasurable. They’ve been our pillars of support, guiding us through each stage of our daughter’s early years, making her every day brighter, and every challenge easier. Their communication has been a beacon, keeping us connected and involved, making us feel not just like parents, but like partners in our child’s growth journey.Any family would be fortunate to have their children under their care.

We love TGS Edina! Our child has been attending for several years and every staff member we've encountered has been fantastic - the teachers are incredible and our child is learning SO much every day! The environment is welcoming and the teachers and staff work with parents in the best interest of every child. We're grateful for such a wonderful school!

Can't recommend this preschool enough. Incredible staff in every room (we have a 5 year old and 2 year old) very responsive if concerns or questions do arise and the management is great too. Can't say enough great things

One of our children is highly allergic to wheat and we have been to a few premium centers where we left due to too many allergic incidences. This center takes allergies very serious and is super involved with us on his meal plan. The staff is wonderful and would recommend this place to anyone!

We have been at TGS for the past 3 years since my daughter was 4 months old. They were flexible, safe, and accommodating during the beginning of the pandemic and have continued great communication and care since. My now 3 year old daughter is a total savage when I drop her off but all of her teachers have been great about taking her so I can get to work despite the kicks and screams. The best part to me is that the leadership tries to care for their employees—so they will close or open in consideration of weather for the safety of their employees. I have seen minimal staff turnover since I have been there, and to me that is important for my kids development and learning. My older daughter was briefly at TGS when the public schools were closed and many of the staff still remember her when she comes to pick up her little sister. Overall, it’s inviting, warm, and has been a great school for our family.Yes, it has an indoor play space, yes the outdoor play space is fantastic, yes, the activities and enrichment make me wish I could just hang out and go to school there. Parking is not the greatest and in general parent drivers infuriate me, but one con out of many many pros.

We are thrilled with this school. We started our baby at 16 months. The staff are professional and loving, there is a clear schedule/cirriculum, and the facility is beautiful, clean and spacious. I love the indoor and outdoor play areas for the kids. Our little one had a lot of separation anxiety prior to starting this school and she had grown so much and reaches for her teachers and blows them kisses. Her language skills have greatly improved since starting. We were so thankful to find a school our entire family loved!
