  • Kids Garden has been perfect for our two year old! They have such a friendly staff and have been welcoming to us since day one. They provide so many fun activities during the day and our daughter is always happy when we pick her up. Would absolutely recommend to any family!

  • I shopped their website three times over the past 12 months and finally signed my almost 6yr old and I regret not doing it sooner! I’m a business owner in the industry of teaching young children and my expectations are high in a lot of areas. The staff are wonderful at the Kids Garden. From online registration, late pick up (ekk!), adding extra time- it was easy. They are welcoming, patient, engaging and enthusiastic. My child is excited to come everyday and can’t wait to attend again. Your kids are excited to learn when they tell you about their day and I hear all the things at pick up! He is happy when I arrive and crashes at night :) I’d recommend this for any of the ages they cater to. We attend a week long extended camp 9a-3p. Provided lunch is great to get your child to try new things. Five stars, so happy to have this gem in Forest Acres

  • My daughter recently started going here for summer care and we LOVE Kids Garden so much! We’ve had a really bad daycare experience in the past in a different state, so we were a little nervous taking her to a new daycare. The staff at Kids Garden immediately made us feel so much more at ease, and everyone is genuinely so nice and caring. We’re so grateful that we found this gem, I highly recommend! Our daughter is a total homebody, but she even wakes up early and gets ready because she’s so excited to go to daycare!

  • We are first time parents and were very selective on choosing a daycare for our son as it can be difficult to entrust someone else with the care and attention for your kids. However, Cameron and her team have constructed a thorough and robust program that will not only guarantee the safety of your children but also further their development. Kids Garden teams' communication and understanding are also exceptional; their ability to empathize with any of your concerns or qualms can be therapeutic for "granola" parents.

  • Kids Garden has been such a great help for our family! We know our daughter is well taken care of and she has a blast whenever she goes! We are so thankful for a kind and friendly staff. Highly recommend for families looking for a great daycare!

  • They truly exceed expectations. If I could give 10 stars, I would. As a former Early Childhood educator, I researched extensively and asked countless questions before enrolling our child—and I can honestly say I don’t have a single negative thing to share. Knowing my child is safe, cared for, and learning while I’m able to take a break brings such peace of mind. We are beyond grateful for Kids Garden and the incredible care they provide.
