We cannot recommend Green Castle Daycare and Jeaneth enough. Our son, Landon, started when he was just 5 months old, and from day one we felt completely at ease knowing he was in such loving and caring hands. Jeaneth treated Landon like family and always made sure he was safe, happy, and well cared for. As first-time parents, that meant everything to us. Moving away was very difficult because we were so sad to leave such an amazing daycare. Thank you, Jeaneth, for all the love, patience, and care you gave Landon. We will always be grateful and will miss you so much. Any family would be lucky to have their child at Green Castle!
Mariana BrunnerJun 13, 2026This is a long overdue review. My daughter has been going to Green Castle Day Care since she was 5 months old, and she absolutely loves it. It is a house daycare, but I honestly am happy with how things work out here. It is open from 8am to 5pm. Jeaneth is the sweet daycare owner and worker who runs the show. When my daughter first enters, she goes straight to the toys - no good-byes or hugs or kisses for mommy. This means she definitely is comfortable coming here, so I have nothing to worry about. My daughter is currently 20 months old, and she learned how to count to 10 by the age of 18 months! She also learned some Spanish words (most used Spanish words in our house are “aqui” and “agua”). She has learned to play well with other children, and is even interested in learning how to use the potty. I believe my daughter is able to excel in communication, cognitive, and other developmental skills a lot quicker and above her age group because she’s enrolled here. When my daughter turned 1 years old, they provided her breakfast and lunch. All I had to provide was her snacks and milk. They log your child’s “activities” in a notebook you bring home everyday. This includes meals, snacks, naps, and diaper changes. They may provide additional notes if they feel it is necessary. Pros: Small daycare with only a maximum of 12 children TOTAL Provided meals for children 1 years old and older Loving and caring teachers that provide a nurturing environment for your child Open throughout the year with the exception of a few holidays. Cons: No daily updates on activities that you usually get with bigger daycares. - My friends’ children are enrolled in daycares like Kiddie Academy, etc. They have an app. And a developed pamphlet for you to review on your child’s development. Since this is a small, family-owned daycare, there aren’t as many updates as some would like. Assistant teachers do not speak English well, so it might be difficult to communicate with them if you have specific questions. The best approach to this is to just speak with Jeaneth or her daughter (who also works at the school) if you have any questions or need to discuss something. Overall, I highly recommend this daycare.
Lisa LiFeb 3, 2026My daughter has been attending Green Castle for almost a year now and it has been a great experience for her! She's always so excited to be dropped off and is happy at pickup. The Green Castle team creates a fun and nurturing environment for their kids and it shows. Our next kid will be a Green Castle girl once she's old enough as well!
Keith FalconNov 25, 2025We had an excellent experience with Green Castle with our baby daughter. They are attentive, patient, clean and kind. Our daughter thrived at Green Castle.
Adam KSep 3, 2025I was personally nervous about bringing our daughter to daycare but this went away within days after starting at green castle. Our daughter has been going there since 18 months and loves her friends and going to "school." The staff is always so nice and friendly. Our daughter has learned to speak Spanish, her ABC's, how to count, and so many new songs. We are amazed at this program and how happy our daughter is there. Also, since it is a small space and there are not so many kids our daughter rarely gets sick. My husband and I could not recommend this establishment more.
Esther FingerhutJun 26, 2025I can’t say enough wonderful things about Green Castle. Our daughter attended from age 1.5 up through 3yo. She learned so much and had such a fantastic time. Jeaneth, Melanie, and the entire staff go above and beyond to make sure every child feels comfortable and loved. We will certainly miss the wonderful community they have created!
