  • I was terrified to send my toddler anywhere. We had been together since day one, and no one had ever watched her without me. I had known Jennifer for a while, so I decided to schedule a tour. She was incredibly patient and understanding, but it still took me six months to take the leap and enroll my daughter at Little Garden Schoolhouse. During those six months, Jennifer never pressured me and was always happy to answer my questions and help ease my concerns. Even during the tour, my daughter immediately felt comfortable and started playing. The environment felt warm, safe, and welcoming, which gave me so much peace of mind. Her teachers are amazing and genuinely care about the children. She has no trouble at drop off, and when I pick her up, she doesn’t want to leave, that says everything. I also really appreciate that they provide healthy snacks, which is very important to me, and they have a wonderful outdoor space where the kids can enjoy fresh air and water play. If you’re a nervous parent like I was, I truly understand. I’m so grateful we found Little Garden Schoolhouse.

  • Both of our children attended Little Garden Schoolhouse over the past seven years, and from the very beginning, the teachers created an inviting, safe, and nurturing environment. The school's unique approach to learning fostered curiosity, creativity, and confidence while still providing the structure and guidance kids need to thrive. We are grateful for the genuine care and attention the staff showed every kid. They created a community where each child was known, valued, and encouraged to grow at their own pace. The relationships, skills, and memories they created have stayed with them long after leaving the classroom. We highly recommend Little Garden Schoolhouse to any family looking for an exceptional way to begin their child's educational journey.

  • An amazing schoolhouse with teachers that really care about the kids. Every morning it feels like I’m dropping my little one off with family. My little one comes home and just talks and talks about the teachers and other kids being her best friend. L

  • Great place to sign up your children! Jen is very friendly and worth checking out her school, and meeting her and staff.

  • Most daycare's offer better service for your kids. The owner is checked out and does not do Montessori education like she says. She's often not even there during the day.

  • Both our daughters have attended this school over the past 7 years and I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Jennifer and her staff. We have always felt so supported in our parenting. The school house was a place both my girls thought of as a second home. The teachers are not only caring, but are excellent at coaching the children on how to regulate their emotions. Curriculum was wonderful- both my daughters learned differently and both thrived in the school's learning environment. The snacks are always healthy, and outdoor play is prioritized which was important to our family. You could not ask for a better team or place for your child to learn and grow. We will forever be grateful for the time we got to spend at Little Garden School House :)
