Mon Jardin Child Care Learning Center

At Mon Jardin Center, we strive to create a Safe and Healthy Environment for your child. We understand that children learn best when they are engaged and interested in an activity, which is why we utilize "Learn as you play" guides for age-specific curriculum and programs. Each of our programs has been carefully designed to advance your child developmentally, intellectually, and socially. Our philosophy is deeply rooted in the belief that providing a solid foundation is crucial for your child's bright future.

Choosing a Child Care Center for your child can be a daunting task, but we want you to make an informed decision with confidence. We invite you to take your time browsing our site for answers, and our friendly staff is always available to provide any additional information you may need. We encourage you to schedule an appointment with Mon Jardin Center's Director to learn more about our facility and how we can provide the best care for your baby.
