This is my first child that has ever been in daycare. Ava’s garden has made me feel safe & secure with putting my daughter in daycare. She’s learning a lot. The teachers are awesome.
I’m a father of 3 children. Ava’s Garden is a very family oriented place, always in the best interest of my children. My baby girl was 4 months when she started now walking and have a great personality and have many friends, Son was 1 year old when he started now talking have a great sense of humor’s and my oldest was 2 years old when she started, now potty train, knows colors, Great communication skills, overall have built her self-esteem. My family and myself highly recommend Ava’s Garden. If you looking for a great head start for your child/children.
My children have been going to Ava’s Garden almost 2 yrs now. I’ve had nothing but a positive experience. The owner Christine and Director Tiaunna have been very helpful in making the transition smooth for the children and myself. I’m always met with a warm hello by staff and communication has always been transparent. I appreciate the staff and, particularly the professionalism showed by Tiaunna Banks in dealing with a difficult custody issue. I’d recommend them to anyone seeking a home like atmosphere for their childcare experience.
Everyone at this daycare is amazing with the children. The teachers are so kind and you can tell they want the best for the kids. They encourage lots of reading and engage in so many learning activities and crafts. Great place to take your kids.
This place is super unprofessional, they do not check paperwork. My sister shares custody and the father of the kid put his gf as my nieces mother instead of my sister and enrolled the child without my sisters permission or knowledge. So I’m sure they didn’t mind forged paperwork as long as they get their money. She literally had to get courts involved for them to change that father’s gf is not the mother. They refuse to update her on her kid, they refuse to pick up phone calls when my sister calls and to make matters worst father was in jail and they refused to release the kid to my sister and literally wanted to fight with us. Super unprofessional and I’m not even sure how they are allowed to deal with minors. I would stay away from these people as far as you possibly can, save your child from future trauma and do not deal with this place. I’m pretty sure the positive reviews of this place is by staff or friends!
