Jim is a true gem, he challenges the kiddos to be active participants in their learning. The most impressive part is that he treats each kiddo with the same respect he would treat an adult. Too often kiddos don't get this same level of respect and when you are able to find a human who truly appreciates and is interested in interacting with kiddos you have to celebrate them! Thank you for being a great teacher and learner Jim!

They thoroughly entertained themselves for a good hour & then Chet stepped & organized some challenging games. Everyone had a great time! We were the 1st to use his new space & he gave us a tour & let us know of things to come. Sounds like an excellent parkour area is next! We would highly recommend a party here especially since Chet is involved to make sure the kids have a good time!

And Chet. The energy and expertise of that man is unparalleled. He went non-stop with the kids for 2 solid hours, and then did it again for 2 other parties that day! We are already looking at additional time there for our gymnastics loving littles, and will likely have every party there from here on out. Huge crowd pleaser for everyone of all ages!!

Talk about holding something ransom, clean your room or no 4-H Camp; you better get good grades or no 4-H Camp; what, you want to talk back to your parents ... It works, for the most part. Both of my daughters have been attending the 4-H Camp for two years and we have been doing some extra curricular activities there for four years also. This is one of the best summer camps that I have ever seen or been a part of and I believe that my daughters would agree with me. If you want or need something all you have to do is ask and if they can accommodate you they will. Anthony, the camp director, ensures that safety and fun are the top priority once you arrive. If you do go please be sure that you do the High Ropes with Haley.

They have their indoor cabins here and of course the outdoor common areas and hiking paths. You cannot imagine how happy I was when I arrived here, I mean the last outdoor camping experience I had was in Dayton and so I pretty much miss the outdoorsy experience. I was so kindly greeted when I arrived here for the Columbus Yoga Festival and given a guide for the day and what will happen around the common grounds. There were two food trucks here. The Little Eater and the Hai Poke. They had the camp tables set up for everyone to eat their lunches there. The space was more than enough to enjoy outdoor yoga. Just the experience of being outdoors and enjoying nature was so great for me. I love outdoorsy events. This particular one spoke to me as my inner yogi came out. They had enough room for vendors to set up their tables for aerial yoga, braids, juice stations, nail stations, etc. It was such a fun day and I wish I could relive it all over again!

I am a VERY skeptical person and I do not let my children to go to with strangers overnight anywhere. His teacher convinced me to let him go the first year. Last year he came back raving about the camp and asking to go to summer camp there. We weren't able to pull it off. But, after hearing his excitement I had no problem letting him go this year and tagged along. Impressed is an understatement and all of my concerns were calmed. The amazing staff made everything an adventure and kept the children smiling and happy. I don't think the kids realize how much they learned. He wants to go to summer camp this year and I will be letting him go. His sisters too (if they want). This is an excellent place and I can see it being part of his future beyond one summer.

I choose The Gardner School of Dublin for my very special daughter at two years old because we were…read morelooking for a new daycare who fostered a care for children and learning as well. Since my first interaction with the past director Katie it has been a great experience for my child. She has grown up so much and loved each staff member who has cared and fostered a caring and learning atmosphere for children. We have seen a girl who started out with some flaws and learned so much in each classroom she has been in with each teacher. It has been a great atmosphere for her and she loves to tell us about her day at daycare which we love to hear about as well. Currently she's in Enchantment A with Mr. Devyn who is so caring and compassionate about teaching his classroom. He brings a fun and engaging learning atmosphere to this classroom. I am also pleased to see my daughter making so friends here which wasn't easy before here. We appreciate being able to sign our daughter up for in school karate, dance, gymnastics, soccer, etc. Instead of having to scramble to all these activities after school. The school calendar is always busy and they always have activities planned from school year to summer camp. The educational tools and activities are enough to keep my daughter consistently engaged and happy. The facility itself is so clean too. My daughters favorite part is the "the green." The green is the play area for all the children to hang out. If you're looking for the best private daycare for your child look no further than The Gardner School of Dublin their staff is compassionate and they really care for the children here. You can clearly see if through these kids eyes!

A lot of the staff is still the same which shows a good work environment for them and stability for the kids that go there. We feel blessed to have found them and have never questioned that he wasn't getting the best care possible away from us. Academically he is ahead and is always appropriately challenged with the great preschool curriculum but also gets to exercise, play with friends, and generally be a little kid. Another thing that has stood out to use recently is how the CEO and upper management is handling the COVID-19 breakout. They are keeping us up to date, making informed decisions, and caring for their staff as well as the kids. There is a current plan and they are working on a continued plan to be able to pay the teachers while the school may be closed. They all take such good care of the kids year-round it makes me so happy TGS is willing to take care of the teachers and staff during this time of unknowns! We give The Gardner School of Dublin an A++++++!
