(Parent of Infant) - My son started at Mon Jardin at 4 months old. After a long month of searching for the perfect place, I stepped foot into Mon Jardin I knew that this was the environment that I wanted Joey to be in. It so secure, so safe, and just overall welcoming. I took my shoes off to step into the infant room, and it is like being in a different world. Its a room of happiness. There are so many activities, each child was occupied, whether he or she were playing with toys, being read to by a teacher, or just having fun interacting with each other. It was amazing to see babies (they will always be babies in my eyes!) interacting with each other. I set Joey down and a little boy waddled over to him, squatted down, and started giggling which in turn made Joey giggle. Another little girl crawled over to him and offered him her toy. It was the first time Joey had any interaction with other children and this moment just brought me to tears. I knew that this was the perfect place for him. As much as I loved being home with him, I knew that the daily interaction with children and other teachers would be so beneficial in his development. I have to mention that the place is spotless. With so many kids (they have care available up to Kindergarten) I dont know how they keep it so clean but it is impeccable. You are required to take your shoes off or put on booties before entering the rooms, and you must wash your hands each time you come in which I think is great. What I enjoy also is that at the end of each day I get a paper with details of how his day went. It lists the exact times his diaper was changed and if it was a BM or just wet. It lists exactly when he was given his bottle, and now how often he was given solid foods. It also gives the start and end time of each nap. It so helpful and it is really nice having a paper right in front of me with how his day went. But what I love most about Mon Jardin is Ms. Maria. She is the lead teacher in the infant room and her knowledge of infants is outstanding. I am a new mother, and her helpful hints and tips have helped me so much. I can just tell that she puts her heart and soul into what she does. You know when you can just tell someone is passionate about something? Well, this is her passion. She has more patience than I have ever witnessed before. Meeting her during the tour really put my heart at ease. I thought to myself before "how will anyone be able to take care of Joey as good as I can, he needs his Mommy". Well, Ms. Maria does it. It is so comforting knowing that Joey has her. It was hard to put my trust in a daycare, but I fully trust Mon Jardin and I give the credit mostly to Ms. Maria for taking such good care of my Joey. I would highly recommend Mon Jardin, and look forward to watching Joey grow with the Mon Jardin family.

I have been looking to write this for quite some time, but there is no better day than today to do it when on a Saturday my son says I want to go to school, I am missing my friends. We decided to put our son to a day care just before his second birthday. We checked almost all the facilities in the area and finally settled at Monjardin. When we took the tour we could easily connect with the teachers and specially Miss Denisey, the director of the day care. We were there during the evening and the kids were playing in the play area, and we became very comfortable looking at the way they were supervised. Before joining my son was home all day and had become very naughty at home, but at the same time he was very unsocial and unorganized. His learning had a pause for a while and was also forgetting what he already knew. But soon after joining we could see so many changes in him. His vocabulary increased vary fast and his eating habits became very systematic. He felt sick a few times in the beginning and we thought of discontinuing sending him but the Dr told us that this will happen anytime he goes to school, it can be now or when he starts next and advised us not to stop sending him. I really like their facility, classroom programs, the learning assignments, reading! writing and above all the show n tell. They have recently started the life cubby online system which gives you updates of the daily activity, the meal time nap time, the frequent pictures posted on the account during the day give you a chance to look at your kid sitting in the office. Their summer outing and farm trip in the fall is also a lot of fun where parents can also join the kids and volunteer too. All in all I give this place a 5 star rating and highly recommend to anyone who is looking to admit their kids to a day care. We really like the teachers and are very happy, satisfied and comfortable sending our kid to this place everyday.

I am so very happy with this day care. This has been my daughters 2nd day care after we moved from Seattle and the BEST one. I read the reviews from Google and decided to put my 1 1/5 yr old then in here. Hopefully, this review will help parents like me to decide what is best for their child. Its been 1 year she has been going to this day care and each day I see her growing with much care. I see the difference this day care has made in my child. She has learned so much without much taught by me!! The director,teachers and staff are very dedicated and sincere. They provide organic food which any parent will want their children to eat. They have a nurse always available in the day care. They have video monitoring system, so that once you enter they have a log of it, to me it mattered. Recently with the introduction of "Life Cubby" , an online tool which lets you know the details published by the teachers for you child, gives peace of mind during your hectic work schedule. To me it has made a big difference, anytime I can just log in and it feels so good to see the cute pictures of the projects my child is doing. They regularly keep me updated about my childs progress, concern areas or anything that a parent should be aware of his/her kid. They schedule parents meetings to have open discussions/ feedback. They do have few parties honoring Mothers day/ Fathers day which makes you feel you are a part of Mon Jardin family. It has become my daughters second home, I thank all her teachers for taking good care of her. Highly recommend this school.

My son has been attending Mon Jardin since he was 8 weeks old. I first decided on the Center because of its cleanliness, security, and professionalism of the staff when I first toured the property. A year and a half later, I have stayed with Mon Jardin because we now feel like part of the family. Even with the many children that attend the school every day, I feel like my son gets the personal attention that every child deserves. As a first time parent that works full time, you have the worry that sending your child to daycare might not be the right move. But I no longer have that worry. He enjoys going to “school” every day and he comes home happy and exhausted from the various activities. The learning curriculum in place helps him develop and the experience staff can tell when he may need a little help in one area or another. The daily activity sheets keeps my husband and me informed on the fun stuff he gets to do all day. Recently they have added a wonderful online feature that enables us to see pictures of him and his friends having fun in the class room! A nice bonus! Overall my experience and more importantly, my son’s experience has been very positive. I always tell my other mom friends how much I love Mon Jardin.
