We were recommended to this daycare by a good friend, and it definitely did not disappoint. My daughter has been attending for almost a year now, and we are very happy with our experience. One thing we really appreciate is how caring and understanding the staff has been with my daughter being a picky eater. With a doctor’s note, they have been working to accommodate her needs, and we’ve actually seen some improvement, which means a lot to us. The staff is kind, patient, and communicative, and it gives us peace of mind knowing she’s in a safe and supportive environment every day. We’re very grateful we found this daycare and would absolutely recommend it to other families!
Rosalinda ArteagaMay 12, 2026Picket Fence has been a godsend for our family. Especially, for our little boy with special needs. We have peace of mind when our child is there. They look after those children like they are their own. Our boy gets specialized therapy from outside therapist's who come to Picket Fence for him. The teachers, and especially the Director, Lauren, keep a very watchful eye on them. She is fiercely protective of all her children there. We could not have asked for better champions for our boy. We greatly appreciate all the teachers there. They are amazing. We are very happy we found Picket Fence.
Scott GrossMay 3, 2026We’ve had a great experience with Pickett Fence Early Learning Center. Both of my kids started there at 2, and I’ve seen a real difference in their growth and confidence. The staff genuinely care, communication is always consistent, and I feel comfortable knowing my kids are in good hands. It’s a place I truly trust and would definitely recommend.
Aaron SavanhuApr 30, 2026I highly recommend Pickett Fence Early Learning Center. My daughter began attending when she was 2 and has smoothly transitioned into the 3-year-old class, showcasing the great foundation she received. My son started as soon as he turned 2, and I couldn’t have been happier to enroll him there, as I can’t imagine him anywhere else. The staff is truly exceptional and genuinely caring. They communicate effectively and collaborate with me on all aspects of my children’s development, making me feel supported. The program at Pickett Fence has positively impacted my kids, and I am truly grateful for the nurturing environment they provide.
Samkele NcubeApr 29, 2026My family had a great experience with Picket Fence. The children were always well cared for and the staff patient, attentive and friendly. I’ll always be grateful we had such a wonderful and reliable resource for childcare throughout the years.
Victoria OrtizOct 7, 2025I am so grateful for the positive experience my child has had at Picket Fence. From day one, the staff has been incredibly welcoming, caring, and professional. The teachers are genuinely passionate about helping each child grow socially, emotionally, and academically. The curriculum is well-balanced, with a perfect mix of learning and play, and I’ve loved seeing my child engage in activities that foster creativity, curiosity, and a love for learning. If you’re looking for a preschool that offers a nurturing environment, dedicated teachers, and a well-rounded approach to early education, I highly recommend Picket Fence.
