About
The Gardner School of Nashville, founded in 2005 and located in Nashville, TN, provides academically focused preschool and early education for families in the Donelson area. The school offers year-round, full- and part-time care for children ages six weeks through 5 years, with classrooms for infants, toddlers, twos, preschool, and pre-K, plus a summer program. Lead preschool teachers hold four-year degrees in early childhood education, elementary education, or closely related fields, and the school is accredited by NAEYC.
Campus features include a two-checkpoint secure entry, two private outdoor playgrounds, inviting classrooms, a Kids’ Café, and an enrichment studio. Families receive real-time updates through a parent communications app, and the school maintains an open-door policy for daily check-ins. On-site enrichment options include sports, music and arts, computers, foreign language, dance, gymnastics, and soccer. Staff are trained in CPR and first aid.
Located in the Century City Business Park off Elm Hill Pike and across from South College, the school is open 7:00 a.m.–6:00 p.m. The Gardner School organization is headquartered in Franklin, Tennessee and is not franchised, supporting consistency in leadership, environment, and educational philosophy across campuses.
