Philosophy

At Moon’s Garden, we aim to provide high-quality, developmentally age-appropriate childcare for children with a focus on the individual child’s needs and ability to stimulate social, cognitive, physical, and emotional growth.

Location

We are located in Westpark I on a double cul-de-sac street. Our neighborhood has many community parks, pools, trails, and more! We are also located near other schools and childcare homes which provides an opportunity for extended social development.
