● Our Philosophy

Why ACGS?

A Child’s Garden School offers an enriching program designed to support all aspects of a child’s development and instill a lifelong love of learning. The educational program at ACGS features:

  • Experiences designed to promote cognitive, social, and emotional growth.

  • Mastery of key motor skills.

  • Sensory explorations that serve as building blocks to eventual reading and math skills.

  • A focus on listening and enhancing verbal skills.

Each child is encouraged to explore the world through play. By emphasizing children’s natural curiosity, ACGS preschoolers develop a sense of wonder and a desire to learn. As they build strong relationships with their peers and dedicated teachers, their positive sense of self grows as well.

School Memories

"From day one, we and our kids have loved our experience at A Child's Garden School. The level of care the teachers and staff give to our children is unmatched. We have seen our boys grow socially, emotionally, and spiritually at ACGS. The teachers create a fun, safe, and enriching environment for the students to develop strong friendships and knowledge across a range of topics from science, religion, art and culture."

"All three of my children attended A Child's Garden School and they loved their time there. My daughter, Noelle, used to jump out of the car and run as fast as she could to the gate, turn around, wave at me, and yell, 'Bye-bye Mommy!"
