Children's Garden has been amazing for our family! They are one of the most affordable daycares in the area, and the staff genuinely cares for my child. They are a parent co-op and non-profit, so all funds are reinvested in making the center the best possible learning environment for kids. They offer an awesome sense of community with group fundraisers and activities for their families. My children's teachers treat them like family, and I wouldn't trust anyone else with their well-being.

Children's Garden is a wonderful environment for kids! Our daughters have attended since they were 10 weeks old. They were nurtured in the baby room, started learning so much in the 1 year old room, and that has only continued for our oldest who just turned 4. The teachers are respectful and loving. Our daughters really love attending daycare!

Our son started there as a 6 mon old three years ago and now his little sister also goes there. They both are excited to see their teachers every day! We have found the staff to be supportive and responsive. They provide engaging activities daily. Weekly they have special activities such as fitness, music class and the librarian storytime. Parents receive real-time updates on meals/bottles, playtime, diapering, mood etc. through an easy to use app. We especially love that the center is a parent lead non-profit. We know that every decision is made with the children in mind.

Our two children attend Children’s Garden. We feel very safe leaving our children each day with such loving, caring and nurturing teachers and staff. We receive regular communications and updates throughout the day. The teachers provide developmentally appropriate classroom environments and activities that allow children to thrive. We love our CG family!!

Our son has attended Children's Garden for six months now and we're so happy with our choice. He loves all his teachers, and it's clear they feel similarly. Everyone is so kind, and I like that parents are encouraged to get involved. It's a lovely little community!
