The Child's Garden

My kids (now 1.5 and 3.5 years old) have been going here for almost 1.5 years now. They both love it. They have now had almost every teacher there between the two of them, and we all have been very pleased with all of them. I particularly love how much time they spend outside, and how happy the staff seem.

Our family really loves this daycare. I do not frequently do reviews but I really feel compelled to due to the wonderful care provided by the staff. I have sent my children due to two other daycares because we moved between different states, and this is by far THE BEST ONE. The director, Miss Lulu, is very hands-on and attentive. She always has time to talk to the children and parents. The rest of the staff are amazing too. They are so nice and sweet with the children. I feel so comfortable leaving my kids there. In addition, they are always doing crafts, special theme days, and reading time. We were so sad to leave but we will always be in touch with these wonderful people.

Our daughter has been going to The Child's Garden since she was 12 weeks old. I've found the director and all of the staff to be kind and caring with my (slightly sensitive) little girl. I also appreciate that the staff has very little turnover so my daughter has formed stable and comforting relationships with all of the great ladies that care for the kids. I've referred friends to Ms. Lulu and plan on sending my second daughter there in the Fall. We love The Child's Garden!

We have been a family of the child's garden for over three years with two children. My oldest attended preschool here and loved Ms Lulu's class. My youngest currently attends and is smiling when I drop him off. Several times a day the children are outside. The learning is hands on through sensory and play. The staff works together cohesively and love the children. The classroom sizes are also kept smaller for more direct attention. It feels like another family. The director is flexible and the communication is always open. They truly take each individual and cater to that child's learning style. I think my favorite thing after three years of attending is the outside time each day and free play has remained consistent which is very hard to find in Gainesville. When I pick my child up he is happy, loved and always dirty from the adventure of the day just as a 4 year old should be.

Both of my daughters attend Child's Garden and my family and I absolutely love them! They take amazing care of my girls. The environment is loving, caring, and clean. My girls are learning, crafting, and playing outside everyday and we couldn't be happier with Child's Garden!
