My daughter went Childrens Garden 123 many years. When we were originally trying to find a quality daycare in our community we searched around and came to conclusion that this would be the best choice for our child. Mr Franklin and his staff were caring and professional and you can see that they really cared for the children and their best interest. Activities that had planned the food the environment all were top-notch. The hours of operation were accommodating for working parents and that's what I really appreciated and also the staff were always accessible when they were any concerns. My daughter is in grade school now but she always asks to stop past and say hello to the staff,at times we stop past and say hi and they always welcome her.
This center is has made a tremendous difference in both my boys’ lives. They care about the children here and the teachers are committed to working here - truly a special place. I consider our family blessed to have found a spot here. Highly recommend bringing your kids here!
Take your child anywhere, but here. My son had marks and bruises twice in the same week, and no one informed me. When I brought it to their attention they just worte up a fake incident report. The last incident was when I picked my son up and he had dry pissed on clothes and a diaper rash. I worked around the corner at the usps and lived 5 mins away. I also know someone who worked their and they said themselves they would nvr let their kids attend. Don't do nothing but force long naps and watch TV. HORRIBLE
Caring and attentive staff. The director is on top of things.. he's very involved and knows the kids by name. If you have any concerns it is addressed promptly. They communicate well and assist actively and encourage potty training. With their assistance my 2 year old is potty trained already..My son comes home singing new songs and doing new things regularly. He loves it here. Everyone is friendly and their actions show that they truly care for the kids. I'm very big on communication and active learning even at 2 and they meet my expectations. I have no complaints.
Today was my daughter's first day at Children's Garden III, the drop off process went smoothly and the staff was very knowledgeable and understanding with the enrollment process. I am looking forward to many great years using their service.
