I am so pleased with Children's Garden. My 3 year old loves going everyday and has a smile for her friends and teachers as soon as we get there. As a single working mom, I am incredibly picky with the care my daughter receives and hold this school to a near impossible standard, and the care that the teachers and staff consistently provide my child with meets my expectations. The staff is very professional and kind, and my daughter is greeted with a smile and called by name each morning when we walk in, making her feel important, boosting her confidence, and making me trust that every child who attends is an important member of Children's Garden's community. I love the variety of activities they have everyday, including a weekly water play day that has quickly become the highlight of my daughter's week. Health and wellness is at the center of our household, and it is of big importance to us that Children's Garden promotes a healthy lifestyle, (including only healthy snacks) for the kids throughout the day, and it's of great peace of mind to know that my child is never being filled of junk while outside of my supervision.
With the exception of being at home with me, there is no where I'd prefer my child to be, and the children's well being, health, safety, and happiness is clearly of top priority to this school.

Let me start by saying that Children’s Garden feels like family! As educators, our expectations were high, and we searched all over the area to find a quality center to help our daughter thrive. Visit after visit to other centers, we left discouraged that we would never find a place that could meet our expectations. Then, we found Children’s Garden, and there was no point looking anywhere else, they exceeded our expectations from the moment our observation began. We immediately got on the waiting list, and it was worth the nearly 10 month wait!! She has been attending a multi-age classroom, and let me say that hands-down, nowhere else comes close to the level of care, dedication to whole-child education, and quality of people as Children’s Garden. Our daughter loves her teachers, has grown so much socially and emotionally, and is more confident and independent than we could have imagined after just one year! This is not a “daycare” that you just drop your kids off at so they can play with blocks all day. This is a learning environment that is carefully planned, and delivered with a very intentional focus for each individual child. Children are given the opportunity to choose, but there is also guidance from knowledgeable staff, and the care and compassion the staff has for all children is what truly makes them unique, and permeates throughout the building. My daughter can walk down the hallway to class in the morning, and have numerous staff greet her by name and give her a hug any given day, and these aren’t even her classroom teachers. She had a period of tough drop-offs, and the director and front office assistant worked with the classroom teachers to help us get through this, even re-arranging staff schedules to accommodate what would work best for her needs in the morning. That is the level of excellence, and willingness to go beyond, that we know we can expect from them. A child’s foundation in life is set during their formative years (0-5), and without a doubt, we know that our daughter is blessed to be fortunate enough to have the teachers and staff at Children’s Garden establish a rock-solid foundation that will set the tone for the rest of her life!!

My child has been enrolled in their youngest daycare class for two months now, and I couldn't be happier with the quality of the program and staff at Children's Garden. The staff are always available to talk or answer questions, and they use an app that gives updates every day on diaper changes, food eaten, naps, and attaches pictures. I am at ease that I feel completely comfortable sending my child there everyday and he loves going. I don't have experience with other daycares in the area, but this is truly a top notch facility dedicated to helping kids learn and development and not just a "daycare".
