Kids Garden Learning Academy

There was a 6 month waiting period for the child care facility on Nellis Air Force Base but my maternity leave was almost up so we had to scramble to find a daycare for my baby.
A friend of my husband recommended this place because the lady who runs it (Cheryl?) used to be affiliated with Nellis somehow? My apologies but I already forgot how… I think maybe she used to work at the CDC on base… anyways…I figured she’d be cool with military peeps. Husband went to check it out first and said it was great. Because I’m nosy I had to go check it out for myself before I would allow my baby there. Cuz I’m picky like that.
I like that they are open 6am-​7pm. The CDC on base is only open 6:30am-6pm. I also like that Kids Garden will let you pick the amount of days you want your baby to go to daycare. The CDC on base makes you pay every week for the whole week all year, and you only get 2 weeks vacation which you have to give them advance notice for.
I was kinda worried about the location… it’s located on Nellis and Bonanza which is sketchy as hell. But the inside is nice and super clean, and there was a keypad with a password that locked the front door. The children appeared to be predominantly african american and hispanic. Our baby was the only white baby in the room.
I met his caregivers and they all seemed incredibly competent and nice, albeit a couple of them were realllllly young. They made us bring all his bottles already made and diapers.
There are no red flags here. They took good care of my baby. I eventually switched him to the child care center on base because they provide formula but this place was just what I needed and I would have been fine if he had stayed here. It was $ 135.00 for 4 days, slightly less expensive than the CDC on base but they don’t provide formula so it balances out. If you need care, I would recommend this place.

I moved to the area of Kids Garden and needed a new day care for my 4 year old. I toured all of the facilities in the area and this was by far and away the most professional, organized, and best curriculum daycare in the area. It starts at the top by the director and front desk who you can tell have the experience and pride In giving you the value and trust you look for when you are leaving your child with them!

So I was looking for a temporary care for my child who is currently 4months old. His grandmother will leave for a month for a vacation so I don’t have anyone to leave my child to since the rest of my family and relatives goes to school and work as well. So anyway, as soon as I enter Kids Garden, I was greeted with a warm welcome. I didnt schedule a tour, I just walked in but I was accomodated quickly. I visited 4 daycare for my infant but none of them impressed nor convinced me that I can have a peace of mind while they take care of my child (the fact that those were the ones I had scheduled a tour coz I’ve read really good reviews on them). While driving, I passed by kids garden since it’s close to the last daycare I visited that day and thought I’d pass by and check them out. I was impressed! Place is clean… Staff are very friendly and accomodating and approachable! As a parent, I got the feeling of «this is it». This is the place and people I can trust my child with.
I have not enrolled my child since one of my cousins will be available to babysit since she’s on a summerbreak from school or something (family is always better than other people of course) But if i need a childcare in the future as my last resort, I’m glad I won’t be looking all around town for a good one since I’ve already found it!

We have had 2 previous experience w/​2 other different Daycares. But nothing compared to this one!!! Since yhu set foot in the daycare they greet yhu w/​a great smile and make yhu feel welcome. It always has a pleasent smell and always looks clean. I love the way that everything is arrange by age group (the classrooms, playgrounds). They run the day by schedule. Ever since my 4 yr old Daughter attends this daycare she has learned alot of songs and already started to recognize her letters. I also have 2 other school age children and they had a great experience this summer their, they enjoyed the field trips to crystal palace and chuck e cheese and specially the water slided days. As a mother wht i really like is that Sherrol the Director of the Daycare takes time to speak to the parents and help us with any conserns that we might have, which in those to other places my children attentant never happened. Overall my children enjoy attending this daycare, and meh as a singel mother a feel that my children are in a clean and secure place while im working… Truly recommend this Daycare!!!

I love kids garden just made decision to keep my daughters Jamayiah and Jaliyah enrolled for another year. The prices here you can not find no where in town. Mrs Cheryl is the best she truely care about the kids and treat them like her own. My daughters have learned so much since i enrolled them. Staff here is always freindly and prepares my 4 year old Jaliyah for kindergarden. Thanks Kid Garden We Love You!!!

I Absolutely love KIDS GARDEN it my daughter Kelis (2yrs) second home, I’m a first time single mother, that works all the time, so I had to find a place to where I could trust to take care of my daughter, for 10hrs each day. The owner Cheryl, I LOVE HER!!! And her staff especially LAKETHA. They have helped me thru motherhood on tips how tip how to handle many different situation with Kelis, I had trouble potty training her on my own Cheryl and her staff had my baby potty trained within 2 weeks, I love that any change u go thru with your lil ones u tell Cheryl an her staff does there best to grant your request, everyday they give me a daily report so I noe what she did for the day, what she ate, and how many times she took bathroom breaks and I keep that same schedual at home and on our off days to keep her on schedual, this place is so awesome, it’s like if ABC MOUSE had a school, this would be it, my daughter has learned so much it amazes me, I really appreciate how Cheryl runs her center it makes me Confident that my child will be ready for her school years once it’s time. Call check it out an sign up!!!

We switched to this day care about 4 months ago with our two boys. My first impression was how colorful and cheerful the facility looks from the outside. I like that there are multiple entrys/​exits for the parking lot. The building is well lit and I really like that the front door is locked with a keypad entry.
Once inside it is decorated in all the different kids’ art. There is a great big room, about the length of the building, that all the kids are in in the morning and evenings with a tv, lots of toys and a gaming console. As all the children and teachers arrive they sort out into age appropriate classrooms. In the classrooms each child has a cubbie, a sleeping mat, a hook and classwork folder the can use. Breakfast, snacks and lunch are all provided. I do have one picky eater and they are great about giving him his own lunch. My other son had a dietary restriction and they were great about working with that as well! And they also offer potty training assistance.
There are also 3 – 4 seperated playground areas with loys of toys. During summer there is a weekly water day with a huge inflated bouncy water slide that gets professionally set up for all the kids to go on no extra fees! Also if your interested in extracurricular activities like gymnastics on Fridays the Tumble Bus comes and for a seperate fee you can sign your kids up to tumble. I like that the gym comes to the school.
One of the main reasons we decided to switch to this school was due to their use of the Saxon Curriculum. I’ve seen huge jumps in cognitive learning with both my 2 yr old and 4 yr old! Also the prices here are very competitive to other daycares in the area and we’ve switched several parents on to this place. We love the atmosphere of the place, the owner is very involved. She’s very friendly and you can tell she loves the kids. The teachers are kind and patient and really do care. I really can not say enough good things about Kids Garden Academy my husband and I love this place!
