What Parents Say
Children's Garden is a parent-run, non-profit co-op daycare highly praised by parents for its caring and nurturing staff, strong sense of community, and developmentally appropriate curriculum. Parents consistently highlight the teachers' attentiveness, genuine affection for children, and long tenure at the facility. The co-op model allows parents meaningful involvement in their children's care and education.
Children's Garden is a non-profit co-op daycare with a parent run board. It really feels like a community with all the parent input, involvement, and activities. Our children started as infants, and our oldest continued with the after school and summer programs they offer. They are excited to go, and they love their teachers. The teachers are nurturing and attentive to the needs of both the children and parents. We are happy we found Children's Garden!
Children's Garden has been a great daycare for us for nearly three years now. The staff are attentive and caring, the curriculum is amazing, and the community of parents and staff is so supportive and involved. The parent co-op model is truly unique and allows for parents to have a say in their child's care and preschool education. Highly recommend this center!
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!
All the staff are super friendly and patient! And I love that they feed my child ACTUAL FOOD and not canned fruits and vegetables or ultra processed, sugar rich, or high in fat items! And to top it off, I'd consider this place more of a learning center than a daycare. I would definitely recommend this facility to anyone!
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!
