Our experience with Gardens has been amazing! Theyve been very helpful in helping us get acclimated to the city after moving from the South. Our little girl loves attending and is visibly excited every morning. She also has a severe egg allergy and we havent had any issues, which is awesome! We recommend Gardens 5/5

Gardens is a great daycare at a most affordable cost. The staff are attentive, caring, and have great relationships with the children.The daycare offers a variety of experiences for our son, including regular trips to the Park, music instructors, art activities, and more. The classroom and learning areas are clean and safe.The Administration is quick to respond to any questions/issues, and we could not be happier with their care for our son!

An easy walk from our house we love Gardens Day Care. Our daughter experiences lots of activities including music time, crafts, language development, story time, and much more. We started her at 4 months and she has really connected with her care givers. She naps and eats well and hitting her milestones in part because she has other babies to watch and learn from. We really love these ladies.

My daughter (3 yrs) has been attending Garden’s daycare for a year. We have been so happy with their care. We began going there after we played with the daycare staff and children in the park one day. I loved how they were interacting with the kids so decided to learn more. I’m so glad we did because we’ve had such an awesome experience! The staff are wonderful. Franceska, Krystle and Stephanie bring an excellent balance of professionalism, kindness, fun and structure. The days are a great blend of school-like learning, free play, creativity, outside fun, and music and yoga (offered by two fantastic local instructors). Staff have always been honest and direct with me and everyone is very communicative and responsive to various needs. The space is clean, organized and encourages child exploration. The atmosphere is almost always calm (kids are kids :) and pleasant. I’ve watched my daughter grow in independence, creativity and speech over the past year. Staff are very open to support any parental initiatives: potty training, special diet, etc. Highly recommended!!

Gardens Day Care made my transition back to work so smooth. I was a HOT mess leaving my 5 month old daughter with strangers but they made every aspect of it easy. Miss Gardens put me at ease and the girls are amazing with my daughter. I know my daughter is happy there because she smiles and laughs the minute she walks in.The daycare is also clean and very professional. They are very attentive to any needs and are very considerate and QUICK to respond to any questions/concerns you have throughout the day. The daily photos sent through the daycare app is also a big plus!!!

Our son (17 months) has been at Gardens since he was 3 months. Both Garden herself and the other caregivers are capable, conscientious, and thoughtful. Our son and our family has developed a very close bond with them. He loves it there, they love him, and hes learning new things all the time. Garden is also very flexible, which as full-time working parents, we truly appreciate. If you want a small, intimate care experience, I highly recommend Garden and her staff.

My husband and I are first-time parents who both work full-time. Finding the right daycare was very important, and I visited several in the neighborhood before deciding on Gardens. Honestly, it was an easy choice. The staff are caring, capable, and communicative about my daughters day and anything theyve observed -- how she ate and slept. If she might be coming down with something.I feel like they are an extension of my husband and I with their caring approach.Shes been there for a little over seven months, and has started walking, babbling, and developing more each day. I know that the care she has received at Gardens has nurtured her, and we are so grateful to Gardenia, Silvia, and the team at Gardens for all theyve done to care for our new family.

My daughter has been at several facilities run by this provider and have loved them all. This one is no exception. Throughout the day they send photos and updates about her naps, eating, etc...And the activities they have are wonderful to exercise young minds. I wish i could give them six stars!

Gardens Day Care is just that, a garden in which your child can blossom. One concern we had as parents was placing our young infant in a daycare where there might be a safe environment but a lack of love. At Gardens, however, we found a safe environment and love abound for our daughter. It truly is a daycare that goes above and beyond to accommodate your specific needs as a parent, and the specific needs of your child. It was difficult to return to work so soon and place our daughter in daycare at 2 months old. The transition was much easier than we expected because of the quality of care given at Gardens Day Care.

As freelancers, were fortunate enough to be able to spend the first year at home with our daughter, but when more full time work came around it was time to put her into day care. After looking at a few others in the neighborhood, some of which had more perks and services (longer operating hours, live video streaming, organic meals, etc.) but had much higher price points, we found Gardens Day Care.We found Gardenia and her staff to be knowledgeable, kind, and loving. With weekly outings to the library, in-house yoga, dance, and art classes, and a bilingual staff and teaching approach, we were impressed with the offerings. Additionally, it was located directly across from Dolphin Park, where the kids would get out and play in the spring and summer. And though the location moved this winter, it is only one avenue away and I expect the outings to continue.I will admit freely, after being the sole caregivers for our daughter for a year, we were very hesitant to let anyone else take over, but within the first couple of days she had fully adjusted to the new environment, new people, and new activities. When we first started out they sent us pictures every day, and now we get them a few times a week, which is wonderful and always makes us smile. To this day (almost a year later) our biggest metric for sticking with Gardens Day Care is that our daughter is happy when we drop her off in the morning, and shes happy when we pick her up in the afternoon.

One of the best daycares I have had my son in. We moved from Virginia about a year ago and Gardens daycare has been a second home for him. His vocabulary has improved and he is even speaking a lot of Spanish. Gardens daycare is the perfect place for future leaders

I looked everywhere for the perfect daycare and was starting to lose hope until I found Gardens Daycare. The first thing that caught my attention was the cleanliness of the daycare. I can smell clean air when I walked in and that automatically gave me a good feeling. Ms. Garden gave me a tour and took her time to answer all of my questions and respond to my concerns. She has a Masters in Early Childhood Education, which is a plus. Her staff is wonderful and very caring for the children.My son has been at the daycare since Sept 2015 and he loves it there. Since I am a teacher I get breaks and I often try to stay with my son to spend time with him but he always asks for his friends and teachers. He also sings many of the songs learned at daycare.I must say that my sons verbal language has improved and now he does not stop talking. It feels great knowing that a team is not only caring for my child but also teaching him early developmental skills while I am at work.The food they serve the kids always involves healthy meals.The daycare hosts a few parties for the kids during the holidays which I think is amazing. My son is starting to understand different traditions and celebrations.Gardens daycare also takes the kids out on short trips such as the library, the park and even the local firehouse! They also have a yoga teacher come in once a week.The one downside for me personally was that there are no cameras but I do receive tons of pictures of my baby and hearing him talk to me about his wonderful day has been satisfying. They do a great job in being informative and send many pictures of your child so you can be at ease.I am very grateful for this daycare.
