Kids seem to like it!

Having a place to drop your children off and feel at ease is hard to find! The Kids Garden has an incredibly gentle approach, and works with familys to meet any additional needs. I can't say enough about how wonderful and kind the staff is (especially Ms Anna!). I wouldn't want to start my littles out anywhere else ❤️. Highly recommend, 10/10!

Incredible options for parents who don’t need full time daycare but want their kids to socialize in a loving warm and educational space. It’s so clean and the staff are so welcoming it has been a perfect option for my littles

My grandkids LOVE Kids Garden! They just had the best camp days filled with tons of movement and exercise as well as brought home incredible arts and crafts. The teachers are so kind and really made the whole experience so special. I had no idea a child based business could be so well designed and offer so many amazing opportunities for the children and the guardians! Thank you Kids Garden our whole family is grateful for all you do!

My nephew goes here and loves it. He loves being outside and playing with all his friends. 10/10, definitely recommend.

My daughter LOVES this place for preschool! All of the teachers are wonderful, especially Ms Maya!

I love all this space and their Junior Explorers Club. My 10 year old loves going here and playing with all his friends. It is definitely a great program.

We love Kids Garden – West Ashley! The flexible scheduling makes it so easy for our family, and the center is always spotless and welcoming. The staff is amazing — my son absolutely adores Hannah G., and we also love Carol G. They go above and beyond to make kids feel cared for and engaged. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a clean, flexible, and friendly childcare option in West Ashley!

When our first aftercare facility was a bit of a disaster, I decided to make a change for the better. Once I spoke with Haile on the phone I knew we had found a winner. Our child went from not wanting to get out of bed to go to school in the morning and not wanting to talk about his day to bounding out of bed, talking our ears off, excited to be a junior explorer! I am so thankful to play garden for coming into our lives - everything about it feels right to me as a mom. I also love that they are a screen free facility!

Kids Garden is a gem! Their programs provide enrichment full of play and creative expression for children and their teachers are loving, warm, fun, and attentive. They provide a safe and respectful environment for daily activities in a screen-free setting. We could not be happier with their care of our daughter! Special thank you to Amanda, both Haley’s, Marie, Maya, and Kelli for loving on our girl, even on her tough days. She’s flourishing academically, socially, and emotionally in your care and we are so grateful!

I am so grateful to have such a loving and influential children's institute so accessible to me. Kids garden really has adapted themselves to serve all students through play, expression, friendship, and support. What makes Kids Garden special is the staff. Our teachers work so hard to make each student feel special and included. Every student is so safe. A special shout out to Miss Maya, Miss Anna, and Miss Hayley. Sloanie Baloney loves to see you and spend time with you! Thank you Kids Garden!

Ms Haley and crew were incredible! Definitely coming back

Great party place for the kids! Very helpful

Kids garden is a God send, my kids love playing with the wonderful teachers!

Kids Garden Charleston has been an incredible part of our lives for the past three years. Since my son started at age two, we have watched him grow into a curious, confident, and kind young learner—all thanks to the nurturing environment, dedicated educators, and Montessori-inspired approach that Kids Garden provides. Ms. Carol, Ms. Savannah, and their wonderful team have built a space that truly honors childhood, allowing children to explore, create, and learn at their own pace while being deeply connected to nature and mindfulness. The trust we have in them is immeasurable. They lead with patience, warmth, and a genuine passion for early education, making every child feel valued and supported. From hands-on activities to outdoor exploration, every day at Kids Garden is filled with opportunities for growth, imagination, and discovery. It’s more than just a school; it’s a community that fosters a love for learning and a deep respect for the world around us. We couldn’t be more grateful for the impact Kids Garden Charleston has had on my son’s early years, and I highly recommend it to any family looking for a mindful, nature-inspired, and loving learning environment.

We love Kids Garden! My daughter always wants to go play and is so complimentary of the sweet staff. The activities are engaging and creative. It’s a wonderful place for little minds! 💜❤️👍👌🏻

My kids had a great time!

We moved to Charleston a year ago without placing our toddler on any local waiting lists, only to find that no childcare options were available. We were desperate—until we discovered Kids Garden. From the moment we tried it, our child loved it, and so did we. The teachers are not only incredibly engaging and loving, but our little one genuinely enjoys being there, asking to go every single day. Now that we’re enrolled in a school closer to home, our two-year-old still asks to visit Kids Garden almost daily after school. A huge shoutout to our favorite teachers—Miss Kelli, Miss Savannah, Miss Haley, and Miss Amanda. Thank you for being so loving and wonderful to our boy!
