I’ve had a wonderful experience with this daycare. I love seeing my son walk into his classroom every day with a big smile, it shows how happy and comfortable he feels. Everyone is always friendly and welcoming, and I really appreciate the daily updates because they give me peace of mind. I’ve seen so much growth in my son since he started; he’s already above his milestones and doing great with his letters, numbers, and colors.
ZeeJan 13, 2026Picket Fence has truly become a second home for our son. The staff is so loving, patient, and genuinely invested in each child. It’s clear every day how much they care, and that peace of mind means everything to us as parents. Since starting at Picket Fence, our 2-year-old son has blossomed. His communication, confidence, and social skills have grown so much, and he is always excited and happy to go. Knowing he is safe, supported, and loved makes all the difference. We are incredibly grateful for the amazing team at Picket Fence and cannot recommend them enough.
Christopher CastellonJan 13, 2026We have absolutely love our experience with Picket Fence. Since our baby started attending, we’ve noticed incredible developmental growth, and it has been amazing to watch. All of the teachers genuinely care about the children, and it shows in the way they interact and nurture each child. We feel very fortunate to have found such a supportive and caring environment for our little one.
Gray DraginAug 25, 2025My son started at the beginning of this year and has loved it ever since. He’s had such a positive experience. We couldn’t be happier with all the teachers and staff. Our youngest is starting next week and wouldn’t give it a second thought. My husband and I are very happy we found Picket Fence and would highly recommend to anyone looking! 🤗
Rachel ZabilkaAug 15, 2025My twin girls have been attending picket fence early childcare for about 4 months now. They are 1 years old. This is a nice warm and caring environment. The teachers are very experienced, communicative, and are very nice and caring. My girls love the school and their teachers. They come home with things they worked on throughout the week. They also really enjoy the food that is cooked on site. They also have a nice outdoor playground. I am really happy my girls attend this wonderful center.
Miryan SarabiaDec 24, 2024My child started at A-Karrasel now Picket Fence just at the age of 1. It was a rough start just like it would be for any child at a change of environment. As time went by we noticed how our son loved being at Picket Fence. He has shown signs of improvement in every aspect. Speech, sensory, behavioral, the list can go on. We are so happy that he attended for the last 2 years. He is now a brilliant 3 year old. We are forever thankful for this child care center. The teachers and care takers are amazing. Thank you for everything.
