Children's Garden has been such a wonderful experience for my kiddos. I have a 3-year-old son and 2-year-old daughter. The moment we walked into The Children's Garden, I immediately felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders. The facility is clean, the employees are incredible, and the environment is excellent for babies and school-aged kiddos. I’m blessed to have found a place with compassionate teachers who genuinely care about all the kids who enter their classrooms. I wish I could give this place ten stars. Thank you for all you do.

The thing about Children’s Garden is I never have to worry about my child being loved and cared for. They love my children, teach them, and meet their needs. They communicate verbally with parents through daily reports, conferences, phone calls, and newsletters. They go above and beyond with everything they do, from the decorations on the walls to picture days, book fairs, holiday celebrations, and family homework projects. Thank you for caring for my children and helping them grow, succeed, and flourish. Your center is so valuable to this community and my family.

My son has been attending for two years, and the staff have always been kind, supportive, attentive, and interested in helping him grow and learn in his own way. From diapers to pre-k, my kiddo and I love this school. Bonus points for their efforts to include diversity and empathy in their school. Highly recommend.

My son attended for a few years, and my daughter has attended since she was a few months old. The ladies there are genuinely like Ally's second family. They've always been so attentive and kind—my first choice. I always recommend it to my new out-of-state tenants. Her Dad asks why this daycare, and now that he's interacted with the staff, he sees that there is no other choice.

CG on Sonoma Springs is phenomenal! I have always been impressed with their quality of care and the love they show to all the children. I have been taking my girls there for almost nine years. This is my youngest's last year. We all will be so sad when that time comes. They are like family. Truly one of the BEST!!!!

Our oldest son was accepted into their NM PreK program after we moved here for a PCS. I had reservations leaving my baby for so long everyday. The teachers were so incredible with communication and a genuine desire to educate. I don’t trust many with my children and I was overwhelmed by how caring they were. Highly recommend. From teachers to support staff to directors and owners, all were accessible and reassuring. My second son just completed the NM early pre-K program and we will continue with Childrens Garden.
