My husband and I work long days with early starts. The learning garden staff has been beyond wonderful making sure our kids are safe and loved. Their turnover is low and every teacher knows our child’s name and shows them so much love and attention. My son had a speech delay but since starting at the learning garden has tested out of services and has demonstrated so much growth to Kindergarten preparedness.
Mallory EdwardsJul 17, 2023My child hasn’t even been here but the way they talk to parents when you call is very disrespectful. They never get back to you and when you call back asking for an availability they are very rude over the phone . They need to work on these skills if they want to really teach kids how to behave . This is a big red flag before we send kids to this place !!
buddu yedOct 5, 2022I had my son here from 6 months old until age 4. I’ve been looking at new daycares for summer as he’s in school now & the only reason I wouldn’t send him here now is because it’s too far from our house now. This was my child’s second home and I’m very grateful for this center :) he loved them.
Doll DanielleJun 23, 2021I really wanted to love this daycare, it was conveniently located and has great hours. Unfortunately this was not the case. Upon picking my 7mth daughter up from the infant room on her first day, I was at loss for words at what I saw. There was a infant boy laying face down crying on the dirty floor ,which they walk on with outside dirty shoes. He was not old enough to lift his head. My daughter was placed on the Opposite side of a bookshelf by herself away from the other children sitting on the floor crying with snot running down her face wearing the same bib that I sent her in at 8 AM! (Wet and filthy)(I sent 6 extras) No socks on ,with cold feet. She also had a rash across her entire forehead . I was completely disturbed. They also knew I would be there to pick her up at 3pm. Clearly this is how they operate. These poor babies.
Michelle wrightFeb 6, 2019My daughter started at The Learning Garden in July 2017. I don't live in the area so I was unfamiliar with any of the centers. I visited several but I decided on The Learning Garden. It has been the best choice I could have made. I have watched my infant daughter thrive under the care and love provided daily. The staff is great they have gone above and beyond to accommodated my work my daughters breast feeding schedule. They have made the trasition back to work especially in an unfamiliar area seamless. We love The Learning Garden and I would refer anyone to check out Ann and her amazing staff!
Amanda ChaseOct 6, 2017My two sons went to The Learning Garden for three years before entering kindergarten. The teachers all commented how well prepared they were for the up coming school year and the changing curriculum. The staff is very professional and listened to any concerns we may have had. I highly recommend The Learning Garden. My husband and i were both very happy with the time our boys spent their.
