Parent Reviews
I take my kids to The Learning Garden and they absolutely love it! Every day they come home happy, full of stories, and excited to go back. Nelly is so warm and caring, she clearly loves the children, and they love her right back. Nelly is truly one of a kind. She’s not just a caregiver, she’s loving, patient, and genuinely passionate about what she does. You can feel the warmth in the environment she’s created. She treats every child like family, and my kids absolutely adore her. It’s clear she loves what she does, and that love shines through in the way she interacts with the children. It’s such a comforting feeling as a parent to know your kids are in such good hands. I’ve already recommended The Learning Garden to a friend, and I’ll keep recommending it to anyone looking for a safe, nurturing, and joyful place for their little ones. As a parent, finding a place where your kids feel happy, safe, and loved is everything, and that’s exactly what we’ve found at The Learning Garden.
Finding the right daycare for my two daughters was one of the most important decisions I’ve had to make as a single parent and I can say, without a doubt, that I found someone truly special. From the very first day, Nelly welcomed my girls with open arms, bright smiles, and hearts full of kindness. The care and attention they received went far beyond my expectations. Every morning drop-off became something they looked forward to, and every pickup was filled with excited stories of what they learned, who they played with, and how much fun they had. My girls blossom in confidence, kindness, and curiosity thanks to the loving environment created here. Thank you The Learning Garden from the bottom of my heart for being such an important part of my children’s early years. You’ve made a lasting impact on my family, and we are forever grateful.
From the very beginning, we felt confident and at peace knowing our child was in such caring hands. The Learning Garden is more than just a daycare it’s a warm, welcoming space where children are truly valued, understood, and supported. Nelly has created an environment that feels like family. She forms real connections with the children, encourages their learning, and supports their development with heartfelt dedication. The small group setting allows for plenty of individual attention, and the hands-on, play-based approach keeps each day fresh and engaging. Our child is always excited to go and comes home eager to share their day with us whether it’s a craft they made, a baking activity, or adventures outside. Since joining, our child has blossomed in confidence, communication, and curiosity. The environment itself is clean, colorful, welcoming and fun. We also love the regular updates and home cooked meals. Nelly has built something truly special, and we’re so thankful to be part of it. We wholeheartedly recommend The Learning Garden to any parent looking for a nurturing, safe, and inspiring place for their child!
We’ve been with nelly’s previous daycare for almost four years, and I truly can’t say enough good things. From the very beginning, it felt like a second home for our child. her and the staff are kind, patient, and genuinely care about each kid. Every day my child comes home excited to tell me about the fun crafts they did, what they learned, and who they played with. I’ve really noticed how much he’s grown socially and emotionally since starting here. He’s more confident, communicates better, and has made real friendships. Most importantly, I feel like my child is safe, happy, and thriving here.
If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! Finding a daycare where your child is not only safe, but genuinely loved, understood, and encouraged to grow is every parent’s dream and this place is exactly that. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed like family. The caregiver is warm, attentive, and truly passionate about what she does . She doesn’t just “watch” the kids she engage, teach, and nurture them. The facility is clean, bright, and thoughtfully set up to inspire creativity and learning. Daily updates, photos, and little notes about my child’s day give me so much peace of mind. I’ve watched my child thrive emotionally, socially, and intellectually since starting here. I can’t thank Nelly enough for the love and care she shows every single day. She has created a beautiful little community where kids are allowed to be kids while learning so much along the way. Highly recommend to any parent looking for more than just a daycare this place is a second home.
