Rooted in connection. Growing through care.

The Child’s Garden began in 2011 with a simple belief: that every child deserves to be deeply seen, gently guided, and lovingly taught in a space that feels like family.

After years of working in larger preschools, I witnessed firsthand how learning too often took a backseat to profit—where oversized classrooms left children without the attention and support they truly needed. I dreamed of something different: a place where education would bloom through small class sizes, nurturing relationships, and individualized care.

That dream grew into The Child’s Garden—a boutique, nature-immersed preschool where children are known by name, loved like family, and given the space to blossom at their own pace. For 14 years, we’ve remained intentionally small, with low student-to-teacher ratios, so that each child receives the kind of focused, heart-centered attention I would want for my own children.

Here, learning is never rushed—and wonder is always welcome.

Voices From Our Community

The small class sizes… felt more like a home environment. The Child’s Garden offers comparable pricing to other child care centers but I felt it was evident the cost was being utilized to benefit children’s education and staff. The reason my children continue to receive care and education at The Child’s Garden is because I fully trust the staff and they show such love and kindness to both of my children.

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.

Summer has thrived! She’s so imaginative and funny. She can count and recognize letters and numbers. She introduces herself to new people. She has a strong sense of justice and is willing to stand up for herself and say what she thinks, and I know she’s like that in part because of the supportive environment at TCG.
