We absolutely love Kiddy Garden. They have the sweetest most caring staff. They really focus on helping each child succeed and learn with creativity, kindness and passion. The facility is very clean and focused on keeping the children healthy and safe. I couldn’t recommend Kiddy Garden enough!

The staff and facility at Kiddy Garden are one of a kind. Our son absolutely loves going to school, and they are so welcoming and warm. The facility is incredibly clean, which provides my husband and I a lot of comfort. We are so grateful he has a place to go where he feels safe, learns a ton and has so much fun. He's been there since he was 6 months old and every teacher has been wonderful. Can't recommend enough!!

Kiddy Garden is truly the best. They have created the most special space for children to learn and grow.
Both of our children have attended since they were infants and it has become the best decision we could have made for our family. The entire team is so warm and nurturing. They have fun and creative ways of teaching early education and I'm always so impressed when our kids come home and shock me with how much they've learned.

These days it's especially important to note that their space is always very clean and well maintained. They're great at keeping germs at bay.

I can also tell Kiddy Garden is beloved by the most friendly community. The other families and children who attend are wonderful as well. I love that our kids get to spend their days creating friendships with their peers and that us as parents get along inside and out of the school walls.

The office staff deserves special recognition too. They are the glue that holds everything together, managing everything seamlessly with professionalism and kindness. Communication is always clear, and they go above and beyond to address any questions or concerns promptly.
It’s such a relief knowing our children are in a safe, supportive, and loving environment every day.

I can’t recommend Kiddy Garden Daycare enough—our kids have thrived under their care.

Our daughter has been going to Kiddy Garden for nearly two years now, since she was about 5 months old. She has always been so excited to go which is a relief. But what I appreciate the most is how excited the staff, not just her teachers, are to see her every day. They all genuinely care about our daughter, ask how she and our family is doing. We feel incredibly lucky to have found a daycare filled with teachers, staff, and other families that care about our daughter and family.

I am also constantly surprised every time I pick her up and she seems to have learned something new. She has advanced so much both academically and socially while at Kiddy Garden.
I definitely recommend to those in the area.

I highly recommend Kiddy Garden!
The entire staff always goes above and beyond to ensure the environment Kiddy Garden creates for my children is warm, inviting, positive, fun and educational. My children always run into the center excited to start their day!
I love how quick they are to respond any time I have a question, the nutritious meals my children receive daily, the extracurricular activies they plan for the kids, and how helpful they were with potty-training! My children have thrived here and we absolutely love Kiddy Garden!

I was informed that Kiddy Garden will start charging 2.50% on your total payment if using debit, credit or HSA. I find this deplorable. The fees were increased a few weeks ago and now people are being charged to make their payment. I understand that banks charge businesses fees for credit and debit but the tuition fees should offset that. Childcare is a very important necessity and it is already extremely expensive for a lot of people. Sometimes costing more than their rent or mortgage. I have a grandchild enrolled at Kiddy Garden and I help my daughter with the tuition.
I implore the owner to rethink this issue and I will try to convince my daughter to find another day care. It is not just about quality care for children.

In response to your reply on Monday November 11, 2024:
My records show an increase in tuition of $31.00 a week starting on September 23, 2024. If that is not a rate increase, then I think you owe us some money.

When it comes to caring for your child, Kiddy Garden truly feels like a second home. I remember visiting several daycares around the area, and the moment we walked into Kiddy Garden, I immediately felt a sense of warmth and comfort. It was clear from the start that this was the right place for our lil fam.
Overall, Kiddy Garden excels in every aspect of childcare, from the loving, capable staff to the enriching educational programs and well-equipped facilities. I highly recommend it to any parent looking for a place that combines nurturing care with quality education.

I have had 2 children there since we moved into the area 6 months ago.
I absolutely LOVE kiddy garden. colleen the director is so kind and accommodating. the kids teachers are SO amazing and loving.
I have never had my kids in a day care before we’ve always had a nanny and I can tell you everyday they come home so happy and loved. They do such fun projects and have a jungle bus come once a month my 5 year old loves!
When looking at a few day cares I loved some of the no- frills approach- reminded me of my childhood. No screens in the classrooms, crazy graphics on the walls, no requirements to post 15 photos a day, where from a summer nanny I had who worked at one of the very expensive centers said having the requirement of “x amount of photos a day” she was so stressed doing that she spent less time actually interacting with the kids.
could not say enough good things!!!
