We had a wonderful experience with this daycare during the few months our son attended before we had to move him for logistical reasons. From day one, the environment was very personalized, caring, and professional. A special thank you to Mrs. Zena for the excellent orientation at the beginning and for being so careful, attentive, and professional throughout our journey. We are also very grateful to Mrs. Taminka for her daily smile and for always helping with administrative matters so smoothly. We would also like to thank Ms. Rose, and after her transition, Ms. Xiomara. Both were incredibly caring, and our son truly loved being with them. It gave us great peace of mind knowing he was in such kind and capable hands. We sincerely appreciate the care and support our family received and highly recommend this daycare.
We’ve been taking our son to The Gardner School since he was just 3.5 months old, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the moment we walk in, it’s clear that the staff genuinely cares for him. He gets so excited to see his teachers and it’s such a relief to know he’s in such capable and loving hands. A huge shoutout to the wonderful teachers in the infant classrooms—Ms. Ashley, Ms. Ganette, Ms. Linda, Ms. Swati, Ms. Rebecca, and Ms. Estela. You all are truly amazing, and we’re so thankful for everything you do for our little one every day. The facility is always clean, and we love receiving updates throughout the day, so we feel connected even when we're not there. We really can’t recommend The Gardner School enough. If you’re looking for a place where your child will thrive and be well cared for, this is it!
My son has been going to TGS Herndon since October 2025. As a first time mom, it has been a weight off my shoulders seeing how much the teachers of Fascination A love my little boy. My son has nothing but smiles for Mrs. Ashley, Mrs. Gannat and the rest of the team.
My 2-year-9-month-old son and 18-month-old daughter have been attending the TGS from 6 months ago, and the progress they've made is truly incredible. We've seen tremendous improvements in their communication, social skills, and overall confidence. The staff is caring, attentive, and truly dedicated to the children’s well-being and development. We feel so lucky to have found a place where our kids are not only safe and happy, but also learning and growing every day. Highly recommend the Gardener School of Herndon to any parent looking for a nurturing and supportive environment!
We absolutely loved our time at The Gardner School and cannot say enough wonderful things about the experience our son had there. From the very beginning, the teachers and staff created a warm, family-like environment where he felt loved, supported, and excited to learn every day. The care and attention from his teachers went far beyond basic supervision — they were true partners in his growth. They worked with us patiently and positively during potty training, always encouraging and celebrating milestones, big or small. Thanks to their nurturing approach, he not only gained confidence but truly thrived. In just a short time, we saw tremendous growth in his social-emotional and academic development. He learned how to make friends, express his feelings in healthy ways, and became genuinely curious and eager to learn. Every morning, he woke up excited to go to school — and as parents, there’s no better feeling than seeing your child happy, confident, and cared for. Before enrolling at The Gardner School, we had tried another daycare in the area, and the difference was night and day. Not every daycare is created equal — and we now know just how special The Gardner School is. Sadly, we’ve had to move and are no longer able to attend, but we are forever grateful for the foundation this amazing school provided. We can only hope to find another school that comes close to what we had here. Thank you for everything!
