The Gardner School of Louisville Joins Elite List of NAEYC-Accredited Early Learning Programs
Esteemed accreditation reinforces TGS’ commitment to academic excellence
Louisville, KY, Aug. 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Gardner School of Louisville has earned accreditation from the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), a national benchmark of high-quality early childhood education. This distinction recognizes the school’s commitment to providing young learners with a safe, nurturing and academically enriching experience.
The Gardner School (TGS) offers a supportive early learning environment for children ages six weeks to five years, combining structured curriculum with child-led play and engaging enrichment opportunities. Drawing inspiration from both traditional and Reggio approaches, TGS fosters creativity, independence and exploration while supporting the physical, social, emotional, and intellectual development of each child.
“At The Gardner School of Louisville, we’re committed to delivering the kind of early learning experience every parent wants, one that’s personalized, nurturing, and focused on academic excellence,” said Executive School Director of TGS Louisville, Beth Cassidy. “This NAEYC recognition affirms that commitment and reinforces what we know to be true: when young children are supported in the right environment, they gain the confidence, skills, and love of learning that set the stage for long-term success.”
With this achievement, The Gardner School of Louisville joins an elite group of fewer than 10% of early childhood education programs nationwide to earn NAEYC accreditation. Programs must meet rigorous standards across areas such as curriculum, teaching practices, staff qualifications, family partnerships, and health and safety. The process includes a comprehensive application, thorough documentation, and an unannounced on-site visit by NAEYC assessors.

Children have the option to participate in small-group enrichment classes in music, art, foreign languages, computers, and sports, helping them explore new interests while building key developmental skills.
