Work to get done? Shopping to do? Last minute meeting or lunch? Bring your young ones to Kids Garden, a flexible drop-in learning center for children as young as 12 months (and walking).

Parents love our playcare centers because they’re safe, clean and green. Kids love us because we’re fun. With highly experienced teachers to help your child make the most of each moment, you can rest assured they’ll be in great hands. Depending on the time and day, guests will enjoy educational games, storytelling, kids yoga, arts and crafts, LEGO building and much more.

Maren first had the idea for Kids Garden when she set out to find a secure, stimulating, nurturing childcare environment for her son—one that didn’t require cumbersome contracts or hefty monthly fees.

It didn’t exist. So she created it.

Putting her Masters in Education and holistic health degrees to work, Maren built an all-new playcare from the ground up. She designed it for the children, of course: a magical, whimsical place where young minds could explore what it means to be a kid. But she made parents a priority, too, by providing plenty of flexible options so they could drop in as needed.

After years of traveling the world, hiking her way through national parks, farming, teaching and entrepreneuring, Maren is putting her vast array of skills to work for the people who matter most in our communities—the little ones. Today, the original seeds of Kids Garden have blossomed into a thriving, growing community with numerous locations and more on the way…and an open door policy for parents and family in need of a safe, educational playspace where kids are excited to be.

Kids Garden is not your typical childcare or daycare facility. Eco-friendly and fun, our flexible drop-in learning centers are designed to help parents make the most of every moment—even during those times when you need an hour or more without the kids. Here’s what makes Kids Garden different:
