This week has been for our Gardner children & families.

Our Gardner team worked tirelessly this past week getting classrooms set up, organized, decorated, and ready for little learners. The dedication, teamwork, and heart they poured into creating a warm and welcoming space has been nothing short of incredible.

We are beyond grateful to Chair City Church for opening their doors and supporting us during this transition. Their generosity and kindness have truly meant the world to our 123 Grow community.

We are so excited to welcome all of our children and staff back together under one roof starting Monday! 💛 Being reunited is the best feeling, and we cannot wait to see our classrooms full of smiles again.

Thank you to our amazing families and community for standing with us every step of the way.
Gardner is stronger together. 💪✨

Our hearts are absolutely overflowing. ❤️

The love, generosity, and support from our community has been nothing short of incredible. From thoughtful messages to dropped-off supplies, gift cards, classroom materials, and essentials — you have shown up for us in the most beautiful way.

In moments like this, we are reminded why we do what we do and how lucky we are to be surrounded by such a compassionate, giving community. Your kindness has made a difficult season feel lighter and has reminded our staff and families that we are never alone.

Because of the overwhelming amount of donations we have received, we are no longer accepting additional donations at this time. Please know how deeply grateful we are for each and every contribution.

Thank you for standing beside us, lifting us up, and believing in our little school family. We feel the love — and it means more than words can say. 💛

This week our classrooms focused on Dental Health 🦷 and celebrated friendships with a special Friendship Party! We talked about healthy habits, practiced big smiles, and spent time recognizing what makes a good friend. It was a week full of learning, kindness, and community.

📚 Next Week’s Theme: We’re diving into the stories of Laura Numeroff! We can’t wait to explore her beloved books and bring her characters to life in our classrooms.

💛 Gardner Update:
Behind the scenes, we are working incredibly hard to bring our Gardner staff and families back together in a temporary home while we rebuild. We officially signed the lease on Friday and are hoping to welcome everyone back together on Monday, February 23rd!

There are still many moving pieces, but our commitment remains the same — creating a safe, warm, and nurturing space for our children and educators as quickly as possible.

Please send all the good vibes our way that we don’t run into any hurdles this coming week. We can’t wait to have our Gardner community reunited again!
