    We've had two children attend Gardengate Academy, and we've had a wonderful experience. The…read moreteachers are warm and caring, and work hard every day to help our kids grow, become confident in themselves, and explore nature and their own creativity. We've recommended Gardengate to many other families, and feel so fortunate that we've ended up there. Our kids have thrived and love their teachers and the whole Gardengate community.

    My entire family loves Gardengate (GG). If you are considering GG for your child(ren), I strongly…read moreurge you to set up a tour, and you will quickly know you've found the right place. We came to GG a year and a half ago from one of the large, corporate day care centers in the area. GG is the fourth center we've had experience with, and we could not be happier that we made the switch. In no particular order, here are a few reasons why we love GG, and why I believe your family will, as well. 1) Family Culture over Corporate Culture: While Gardengate offers the scale and resources of a large daycare center, it feels like an extension of our family. From the owner (Gabi), to the director (Salam) and all the teachers, their love for the kids is obvious. And given the size of GG, it has an intimate feeling that extends beyond the school's walls; we really feel like we're a part of a larger GG family with the rest of the GG kids & parents. At the corporate chains, we often felt like our kids were inventory being pushed through an assembly line depending upon the center's needs rather than our kids'. But at GG, Gabi and her team really focus on what's best for the kids. I cannot emphasize enough how important this is. 2) Flexibility and Responsiveness: Aligning with the Reggio teaching style, they have always been flexible in how they manage the center. In each case that we've provided feedback, I have been astonished at how quickly and decisively they took action. Gabi's commitment to the center and the well being of "her kids" is undeniable, and her ability to adapt is a benefit to the GG families and will ensure the business thrives in the long term. 3) Learning Experience: Here's where the Reggio comes in. I admit, I was skeptical of this approach to education that goes against the textbook approach I was raised with - but I've been converted. They really emphasize getting the kids out of the classroom and outside - because life doesn't happen within the confines of 4 walls! And when they go back to the classroom, they bring their observations and lessons from outdoors back into the classroom. I am so happy to know that my kids are outside, taking long walks beyond GG's property lines to observe and nature and enjoy it's beauty. They can learn to count using acorns in the fresh air rather than some plastic in a stuffy classroom. If it's a little cold out, they'll wear hats and mittens. If it's hot, water play in their swim gear. If it's raining a little, rain boots! Life doesn't happen in a bubble, even if our paternal/maternal instincts wish that it could. 4) COVID-19 Response: I would be remiss to not touch upon the way Gabi handled the pandemic and the crisis that surrounded it. While I hope the specific considerations are not relevant to future readers, it is an absolute testament to how she runs this business, responds to crisis, and navigates uncharted waters. First and foremost, it was utterly clear that her heart was broken when she was forced to shut the doors. Not because of the financial impact, but because she understood the predicament that her families and teachers would be in and she felt badly that she could not continue to offer her support due to the State's orders. But Gabi is on top of things. She proactively issued an abatement on tuition AND somehow managed to take care of her teachers. And when we finally got word that daycares would be able to open in Phase 2, Gabi was all over it, and GG was one of the earliest centers to reopen while many other smaller centers across the state simply couldn't survive the pandemic. I can't tell you how she did it, but by God she found a way, and earned massive respect as both a small business owner and a leader in my eyes. There are dozens of other little things I could go on about, but I'll spare you from more rambling. I can't promise that Gardengate is the perfect fit for every family, but I can tell you it's the best fit for mine and I hope you will give this wonderful team the opportunity to show you why.

I waited 2 years to write this and I've had 3 other families tell me what a horrible experience they also had. They told me my kid was the hardest kid they have had in 30 years -- and if that's the case I'd be FLOORED. No behavioral issues. No acting out. Nothing. Bad behaviors have emerged with other kids during their time there. They have no concept of what age appropriate behavior is. The man is nice but the woman is a nightmare. Steer clear. I wouldn't send my younger there if they paid me.

My daughter has excelled and as a first time parent with no family in the area, they coached us through major milestones like potty training. I was nervous to leave her on her first week and got pictures and videos to reassure that she was doing well and making new friends. My child looks forward to going to school and we learned how special PB is when we went to a nearby summer program after the school year was over. She asked everyday to go back to PB. They also have special events and shows for holidays. There was even a special Mother's and Father's Day gift that we'll cherish forever.

    The worst thing I can say about this place is that we found it too late. You get paragraph long…read moreemails with multiple pictures EVERY DAY of what skill they worked on. The communication is awesome! The classes are great, the teachers are wonderful and they use the entire college campus as a learning zone. They have science classes at the college science center. They visit the college President, they have the early education professors read to them. The college interns build a vegetable garden with them. They have yoga and music class with this guy Philip. They keep the kiddo to parent ratio down with the help of the college interns. I can't say how happy my son was. At the end of the year they give you a binder with all those pictures, it's cute! I pulled him out of a bad day care and didn't know how good a place was until I put him in Regis. Highly recommend checking it out. The down side, the place is expensive. It is the price of Beginnings School in Weston yet they have more days off (they are closed during college breaks). But like I said, I would pay it again because we thought it was worth every penny.
