The Gratitude Garden is a private early learning school serving children ages two years through six years. We offer preschool through full-day kindergarten.
Our schedule is designed for families requiring half days and full days. We offer extended afternoon care with fun well-rounded enrichment programs.
On the first and third Wednesday of each month, our school closes by 1:00 for teacher planning and meetings. No childcare is available after 1:00pm on these days.
We provide:
Full services from 8:00 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday
Two days, Three days, and Five days a week options
A free school app that keeps you connected to your child and their daily updates. Parents receive pictures and videos from their child each day
Small Class Sizes:
We follow current research indicating optimal learning occurs in classrooms of no more than fifteen students in a class.
At The Gratitude Garden, all classes are limited to 12 students. We believe small classes foster greater learning and personal development.
Lead teachers work along side the support teachers; such as the outdoor classroom teacher and teacher aides.
Our small class sizes foster connection, calmness, and provide space for emotional, social, and intellectual learning to thrive.
We also provide:
Healthy snacks, organic and non-GMO when possible: Healthy Snack Plan

Gratitude From Our Parents
The Gratitude Garden Preschool is the type of preschool environment all children can thrive in. I love the philosophy behind the school. Nature based and Reggio-inspired STEM preschool (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math). I’ve yet to see a program this well established. My sons are thriving at GG and come home with a huge smile on their faces and get excited about going back to school. It’s been a huge weight lifted on my shoulders knowing I can leave them somewhere where they can learn & grow. The director, Dr. Rey is one of a kind. With her extensive background and knowledge there is no other school like this out there.
I just participated in a tour of this facility. As an educator and Mom, I was totally impressed. The way that STEM is integrated into the whole curriculum and the focus on the whole child really appealed to me. I also appreciated that all teachers have degrees. If you are looking for a place for your child, check them out. I just wish there was space for my child to start immediately!
Dr. Rey and ALL of the teachers are loving and nurturing and I could not think of a better place for my son to spend his days! The children lead a healthy, naturalistic, creative and holistic day filled with exploration and imagination. Absolutely love this school and would recommend it to anyone seeking a different, hands on, outdoor approach to learning and exploring.
When you walk into The Gratitude Garden Preschool, you feel like you walked into a Pinterest dream. Everything is beautiful, peaceful and inspiring. The rooms are always filled with essential oils diffusing to provide a calm and welcoming atmosphere. The toys are unique and well kept. Twinkle lights sparkle throughout the rooms. Teepees and fluffy pillows surrounded by books welcome a loving reading area. It’s perfect! It exactly what we wanted for our son. Not to mention the S.T.E.M. based learning powered by play! The opportunity to get messy, explore and manipulate their world, to play in the dirt, and make new friends all the while learning science and technology is what we needed for our son.
Absolutely LOVE this school!! My daughter has blossomed right before my eyes. The warm atmosphere and caring staff makes it very reassuring that your child is in very good hands. My daughter went through the preschool program and is now in the kindergarten program and my son is now enrolled in their preschool. Dr. Rey and her staff are amazing at what they do. You won’t be disappointed.
My wife and I can’t say enough about this school! The STEAM focused approach to learning is terrific and our daughter has learned so much in her 1 1/2 years at The Gratitude Garden. The entire staff is amazing! Our daughter loves being at school so much it’s hard to get her to leave every day! We’re blessed to have found such a wonderful school!
The best word to describe this school is Magical. It truly is such a special place — an amazing environment full of creativity and love on top of their amazing approach to STEAM-based education. The owner, director and teachers are like family to all of the parents, and our boys adore each and every one of them.
