TLDR: We loved The Gardner School in Eagan so much that our…read moresecond child is now enrolled there. The staff are warm, communicative, and genuinely devoted -- many have worked there for years and even send their own kids here. The curriculum is top-notch, with TGS kids regularly entering kindergarten ahead of their peers. On top of that, the events they host are truly one of a kind -- from a Raptor Center visit and ice cream socials to singing and dancing with the Little Mermaid, and even parent night out caretaking during the holidays. There's never a dull moment at TGS. Our older child made his best friend here and still misses it. Now our infant is thriving in their baby class. The staff here are truly the village you're looking for. Having our second child at The Gardner School in Eagan says it all. When our first started at Gardner at age three -- after coming from Everbrook in Woodbury -- we were nervous about whether he'd adapt to a new school, new friends, and new teachers. Would we find people who truly cared for our child the way we do? The answer was yes, immediately. The staff made us feel welcome from day one, kept us updated with photos and comments throughout the day, and loved our little one like their own. From the cook to the leadership team, everyone is warm and approachable. What really stands out is the stability and dedication of the staff -- many have been there for years, and some even send their own children here. The curriculum is excellent, and we've heard from friends that TGS kids consistently enter public kindergarten well ahead of their peers in reading, math, and more. The annual performances are a wonderful touch too, giving kids real experience being comfortable in front of a large audience. The events TGS hosts are truly one of a kind. From Raptor Center visits and ice cream socials to singing and dancing with the Little Mermaid, and parent night out caretaking during the holidays -- there is never a dull moment. These experiences make learning fun and give kids memories they'll carry with them long after they've moved on. Our older child found his best friend at TGS and still lights up every time he visits. He regularly tells us he wishes he could go back. Now our second is in the infant class and thriving -- the daily photo updates and evening recaps give us such peace of mind. The staff here truly are the village you're looking for.

We couldn't be more thrilled!…read more After moving our child from another center to The Gardner School we haven't looked back! Since the transition to The Gardner School we now know what quality care is and what was lacking previously. Our child has shown marked improvement in so many areas that we could not have asked for a better outcome. The teachers and staff at this location are wonderful and a true delight in the mornings and afternoons during drop-off and pick-up. We are always kept well informed and updated about our child throughout the day with an extremely convenient app. The teachers here are also very well educated and treat this as a career and not just a babysitting job, which is truly a comfort when you are entrusting them with the most valuable and treasured people in your lives. I would highly recommend this school to anyone! You won't regret your choice.

Where do I start with the most stressful 5 or 6 weeks dealing with this mess. From emails the…read moredirector thought she sent me about payments to the Vice President giving no care in the world about me or my concerns. I was told 1 day before I go on vacation that I am being charged an extra day from previous weeks because apparently my first week I didn't get a schedule in when I knew nothing about this place and that schedules needed to be in on a certain day. I was charged for 4 days the week of the 4 Of July---in which the 4th is paid by the family even though they are closed, The director tells me she thought I meant I would be bringing my daughter in Tuesday thru Thursday...wait that sounds like 3 days including the 4th which fell on a Wednesday where did you get 4?! When We in fact agreed on a 3 day flexible schedule. So I get told the payment hasn't processed go in and pay the adjusted amount(which was still too much if I'm getting a 10% corporate discount) (let's not forget they run a 25% off promo that they don't keep track of after the 4 weeks and make you pay back what they charged you...because they were keeping track) and guess what...I'm DOUBLE CHARGED they never took off the amount I paid first and I get told by the Vice President pretty much that it's my fault and there's nothing they can do...except take my money(She didn't straight out say that but that is what I got from the conversation we had which was awkward and pointless because we got no where and nothing was settled or handled). They took it upon themselves to credit my account for my daughters last week and states I will get refunded the small amount left over per the Vice President lady. It's been almost a week and I have yet to be refunded, so I follow up and ask where's my refund...the director tells me "soon I'll get it".UM WHAT IS SOON?!! IT SOUNDS LIKE NEVER!!! This was my first encounter with a daycare facility and last we took my daughter out immediately. This had to have been the most unorganized, unprofessional, EXPENSIVE EXPERIENCE I have ever dealt with.

We had our free intro class last week and immediately signed up for the monthly membership, so if that doesn't say how much we enjoyed going I don't know what will. My son had done gymnastics in the past, but always in a parent-child class, so I was a bit nervous about how he'd like being in there alone. However, the teachers allowed him to open up and get comfortable in a supportive and encouraging way, and by the end of class he was cuddling up with one of them and chattering nonstop about all of the different equipment. I was so impressed!
