Recent parent reviews
When our son first started at Gardens, he had a speech delay and struggled socially around other children. Within just a few months, we saw such a huge difference in his confidence, communication, and overall development. The teachers were incredibly patient, engaging, and intentional with him every single day.
melissa maierMay 22, 2026After having a really difficult experience at another daycare, I was extremely nervous about trusting anyone again with my daughter. Our previous center lacked communication, warmth, and consistency, and I constantly felt uneasy dropping her off. Finding Gardens completely changed that for us. From day one, Miss Garden and the staff made us feel welcomed and reassured. They were patient with my daughter during her transition and patient with me as an anxious parent too. The difference in communication, cleanliness, structure, and overall care was immediately noticeable. Ms. Brenda and Ms. Stephanie gave us so much peace of mind! Now my daughter walks in happy every morning, and for the first time in a long time, I truly feel at peace leaving her in someone else’s care. I honestly wish we had found Gardens sooner.
Giselle Azcona-LubbockMay 21, 2026We’ve had both of our children at Gardens, starting as infants and now into the preschool years, and I honestly cannot imagine them anywhere else. Miss Garden, Ms. Brenda, Ms. Stephanie, and Nana have all played such a special role in our children’s lives. The love, patience, and attention they give every child truly stands out. The communication with parents is excellent, the environment is always clean and welcoming, and you can genuinely feel how much the team cares. Our children are happy, safe, and excited to go every morning, and as parents, that kind of trust and peace of mind means everything. Gardens has truly become like an extension of our family.
Corey PolitoMay 21, 2026As a first-time mom, choosing childcare was one of the biggest and most emotional decisions I’ve ever had to make. I actually reserved my son’s space at Gardens when I was 5 months pregnant because I knew how hard it is to find a place that truly feels safe, loving, and intentional. From the very beginning, Miss Garden and her team made me feel supported, reassured, and genuinely cared for. Going back to work after maternity leave was incredibly emotional for me, but Gardens made the transition so much easier than I ever imagined. They welcomed not only my baby, but our entire family with open arms. The communication, daily updates, photos, and constant reassurance helped me feel connected throughout the day and gave me so much peace of mind as a new mom. What truly stands out about Gardens is the love and attention they pour into the children. My son is constantly engaged in meaningful activities, arts and crafts, music, learning, and social interaction. You can tell the teachers genuinely love what they do and treat the children like their own. Every morning my son is excited to walk in, and that says everything to me. The environment is warm, clean, bright, and filled with so much care and positive energy. It honestly feels less like a daycare and more like an extended family. As a first-time parent, that feeling is priceless. I never feel like “just another parent” here — they truly know and care about every child individually. I’m beyond grateful we found Gardens, and I recommend them wholeheartedly to any parent looking for a safe, nurturing, professional, and loving place for their child to grow.
vanessa lucasMay 21, 2026As a busy mum, I wanted a daycare where my son can be engaged well and grow confidently. Since day 1, the staff at Gardens (Brenda, Stephanie and Nana) have been treating our son Sulaiman with utmost care and attention. They communicate well in English with us and obviously really love children, providing them with many stimulating activities to do, which makes them different from other centers that I visited where children just watch TV most of the day. I really enjoy seeing all his photo updates, and the arts and crafts he has done here. The place is bright and sunny. The children are happy and well-cared for here, with good communication between parents and the teachers. I highly recommend Gardens!
Cheng Jin KohApr 28, 2026This daycare has always been awesome, so happy to see its still open! My 2 kids went here years ago for about 3 years and they loved going to daycare. The workers were nice and compassionate. They really have a way with children. You can tell the kids were taken well care off. And the open communication with the owner of the daycare was something I really appreciated. As a first time mom, I felt confident in living my babies with her. The place is clean! And she actually helped potty train my daughter and son. Honestly I haven't found a daycare as awesome as this one. Sadly we moved and no longer could use her, because of the long commute. I highly highly recommend this daycare!!
