The Gardner School of Lake Elmo-Woodbury is open! We are built on a legacy of trusted, high-quality preschools designed for families in Lake Elmo, Woodbury, Oakdale, and nearby communities.
Conveniently located near I-94 and Hudson Boulevard, our preschool supports children from infancy through Pre-K with a strong educational foundation, caring teachers, and a focus on connection.
From secure entry systems to real-time daily updates for parents, every detail is designed to help families feel confident and supported.
In each classroom, children experience a blend of teacher-guided learning and open-ended play. Infants explore through gentle sensory activities, toddlers build independence, and preschoolers dive into early literacy, S.T.E.A.M. activities, and social-emotional growth.
This balanced approach encourages confidence, curiosity, and joy in every stage of development.
