Our daughter joined Garden Daycare at 17 months. Our little girl always has the biggest smile when…read moreshe arrives at Garden and sees her teachers. Enrolling her has been one of our best decisions to date as new parents. Vika and the two other teachers create a warm, loving, and engaging environment. They provide plenty of interactive group activities. And because of the low teacher to child ratio, each child receives close attention and individual support. Whether it's helping on art projects or with dancing (lots of dancing!), they give each child a chance to shine and gain confidence. The kids also spend a lot of time playing outside in the backyard. As well, one of the highlights is the food. Garden provides 3 homemade and healthy meals and 2 snacks a day. We really appreciate that they don't give processed or sugary foods. Stacey is highly communicative and responsive. She regularly shares photo and video updates throughout the day. And at the start of each month, she shares a monthly program with fun weekly lessons. It's so exciting to see that our little girl is learning so much, remembering songs, and using new words that she learned at Garden. We're so grateful to Garden Daycare for providing such a nurturing foundation and preparing our child for preschool and beyond. It is truly a special place. Thank you, Garden Daycare!

We absolutely love Garden Daycare! Our daughter started here at 9 months, and the transition could…read morenot have been smoother. From day one, Vika and her wonderful staff made us feel completely at ease -- they are so kind, attentive, and genuinely caring. Every morning, our daughter lights up when we arrive and doesn't want to leave -- it's clear how happy and comfortable she feels there. She's thriving -- learning new things every day, becoming more independent, and developing such a sweet connection with the teachers and other kids. As new parents, it's such a gift to have a place we fully trust. Garden Daycare has been everything we hoped for and more -- nurturing, safe, and full of love. We're so grateful to Vika and the entire team!

We've been at this preschool for a few years now with both of our kids and couldn't ask for a more…read morechild focused, play-based experience. The teachers and staff are knowledgeable, kind and tailor their approach to match each child's needs. The space is a true kid paradise with art, music, gardening, and so much more. It's a co-op, so parents/caregivers get a truly unique experience of working along side the teachers and staff and learning from them while they get to participate in this special period of their kid's life. And because the parents/caregivers put in so much work, I feel the prices are way below the average of SF. And the community is like no other. Others families are there to support with everything from carpooling, to extra child care, or even hand-me-downs of outgrown clothing! Without a doubt, I've made some of my closest friends from this school community.

The teachers are exceptional, and I have learned so much about how to parent and understand early childhood because of the knowledge each staff member shares. I have also gained a lot through being a work day parent. It is very rewarding to be a part of the school in this way, and see first hand how play based learning works. We chose a co-op initially because it was more affordable, which it has been- but going into our second year I honestly just have fun being a part of Laurel Hill, and I like the people so much and I would hope every kid could go to a school this cool!

I invested in Serena's lactation support following the birth of my daughter, and it was the…read moresingle-best decision I could have made in my postpartum journey. Serena is so much more than a dynamic lactation coach -- she is an experienced midwife, a seasoned mom, a therapist when you need it most... I could go on and on! She truly listened to my unique needs and created a practical, bespoke breastfeeding plan to improve my supply (and my sanity). Beyond home visits, I was able to text her questions in real-time, and receive the guidance, resources and confidence I needed to navigate the challenges of newborn life. Looking back, I don't know how I would have had such a smooth transition from hospital to home without Serena. To all the first-time moms: trust me, you'll be so glad you hired her!

Speaking from a first-time parents to be perspective, this was the most eye opening, helpful and…read morevaluable class that one can have going into parenthood. The information rich class was delicately wrapped and delivered with deep care and insight by the amazing Serena. We cannot overstate the level of preparedness that we absorbed just by being in the room.

We HIGHLY recommend this class to everyone starting the journey into parenthood.
