Playful learning is a powerful teaching tool! 🩷 Our experienced teachers and staff play a crucial role in creating spaces where preschoolers can master critical skills.

Here is a closer look at how we incorporate play throughout the day at TGS:
- Free Play: Free play is self-directed and unstructured. It encourages children to use their imagination.
- Benefits of Free Play: Free play allows children to lead the activity without rules, which helps develop their creativity, initiative, confidence, and leadership.
- Guided Play: Guided play allows teachers to focus children’s play around specific learning goals. Teachers offer support and ask open-ended questions that guide the next level of child-directed exploration.
- Benefits of Guided Play: Research shows that guided play is also a powerful tool for early learning. This combination of freedom, guidance, and support helps children develop a love for learning.

At The Gardner School, free play and guided play are an essential part of our daily schedule! 📆 Keep reading about both approaches here: https://bit.ly/4fywAE1

Cultivating relationships between students, teachers, and families is an important part of everything we do. Building bonds with others provides opportunities for our little ones to learn about themselves and even helps to build character and compassion!

🗣️ Social and Emotional Learning: Our daily, intentional activities give children a chance to build strong relationships as they learn new skills.

❤️ Welcoming Environment: We create an atmosphere designed to ensure every child feels welcomed, valued, and supported. Our curriculum embraces different learning styles and abilities.

🤝 Model Social Skills: By demonstrating kindness, respect, and effective communication, our teachers help children learn how to interact positively with others.
