Inside The Gardner School’s Preschool and Pre-K Classrooms
At The Gardner School, the Preschool and Pre-K years are filled with purpose, play, and preparation. Every part of the day is thoughtfully designed to support your child’s growth – intellectually, emotionally, and socially. Whether your family is looking for a strong academic foundation or a nurturing environment where your child is known and encouraged, our program offers both.
Learning with Intention and Joy
Our Preschool and Pre-K curriculum blends structure with wonder. Children begin to build early literacy, math, and science skills through hands-on, engaging activities. Circle time and small-group instruction provide gentle routines, while art, dramatic play, and music invite creativity and joy.
S.T.E.A.M. in Action
Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math come to life in every classroom. Whether building a bridge from blocks, experimenting with textures, or trying a beginner coding game, our students are developing critical thinking skills through curiosity-driven play.
Social-Emotional Growth at the Core
We believe emotional development is just as essential as learning letters and numbers. Our teachers gently guide children through big feelings, peer relationships, and collaborative play. Children learn to express themselves, solve problems, and build empathy—skills that prepare them for school and life.
Enriching the Everyday
In addition to their core classroom experiences, children enjoy a wide variety of enrichment opportunities such as music, foreign language, creative movement, and fitness. These classes give children the freedom to explore their interests and discover new strengths.
Kindergarten Readiness and Beyond
Our Pre-K program is intentionally designed to help children thrive in kindergarten and beyond. With a focus on early literacy, number sense, handwriting, and classroom habits like focus and independence, students leave our program with the tools they need—and the love of learning to carry them forward.
At The Gardner School, we’re proud to be more than a preschool. We’re a place where each child is seen, supported, and inspired to grow.
