“The teachers genuinely love the children and take exceptional care of them. They are nurtured through all of the growth spurts a toddler experiences, and they excel. Manners, potty training, the alphabet, colors, Spanish, field-trips and currently, the solar system (Isabel is 3 and 1/2 years old). These children are more than prepared to enter the school system when they graduate!
We recommend The Kinder Garden to everyone we know!!”
“You have far surpassed our expectations for service and staff. Roman has truly “blossomed” in your care. I only wish that you were built earlier so that we could have enrolled him from the start! We truly love this place. ”
