My family loves JBG and all the staff! They treat you and your children like family and give you peace of mind when leaving your child in there care. My 1 year old waves bye when I leave in the morning which is so relieving.

About our program

June Bugz Garden, LLC…is a family owned and operated childcare facility. Our Home-Based Early Learning and After-School Program was opened in the Park West section of Philadelphia in 2017. We adopted the policies and procedures of our sister company From Where the Garden Grows, LLC. We serve children aged 6 months to 12 years of age. Our Before and After School program service children in enrolled in our surrounding schools (Heston, Discovery, KIPP, Global Leadership and Leidy) in our area.

Our program is designed to recognize the important role that both parent, daycare establishments, and afterschool program play while creating more opportunities and incentives for the children in our community. Our infants and toddlers share space and have full use of the front and back yard. We are also in walking distance of the Parkside Evan Playground and Recreation Center. The State of Pennsylvania’s Department of Public Welfare licenses our facility June Bugz Garden, LLC as we as our facility and staff adheres to all licensing regulation as required by the state of Pennsylvania.
