Rose’s Kiddie Garden

Rose and Val cared for my son from the age of 7 months to 14 months. I could not have been happier with the quality of care that my son received during his time there! Rose and Val were both so friendly, easy to work with, and responsive, and any instructions that I left for the care of my son (nap protocol, feeding, etc.) were followed to the letter. My son bonded with them so quickly that I know that he was treated with nothing but love during his time there. In fact, cheesy as it sounds, every morning as soon as I would park outside their house and he realized where we were, he would smile ear to ear, squeal and kick his legs in joy — there’s no better endorsement than that. When I would come to pick him up in the afternoon, he didn’t want to leave and was always busy happily playing with the many interesting toys they had available. It was clear that Rose and Val spent all day interacting and playing with the kids. Even though my son couldn’t even speak yet, he would come home knowing cute little motions for various songs that they had taught him. We were so sad when we moved out of state and had to bid Rose and Val farewell, and we still haven’t found any daycare options in our new home that compare to what we had at Rose’s Kiddie Garden. They truly are a one of a kind hidden gem, and I would happily recommend them to anyone seeking childcare.

Ms. Rose looked after my daughter from the age of one until she was two and a half. As first time parents, it was so important to see how our daughter connected with Ms. Rose and how she simply flourished under Ms. Rose’s warm and gentle demeanor. My daughter was always eager to see Ms Rose and still now at age three talks about her fondly. She had many «firsts» under Ms. Rose and developed a love for singing/​music and was recitiing her alphabet and numbers relatively early on. The subtle learnings my daughter would come home with were surprising and an added bonus to the loving care she was receiving. What’s more, Ms. Rose would take care of her like one of her own — if my daughter needed her hair fixed or nails trimmed — Ms. Rose took care of it. Ms. Rose spent a lot of time feeding my very slow eater and managed to get her eat all of her food everyday. My daughter developed a good routine of eating and taking naps that still holds true to today. I received nice updates and photos via text from time to time when Ms. Rose was looking after my daughter and she was always very responsive to my calls and requests. I credit Ms. Rose for her knack not only with the children she cares for but for her respectfulness and understanding of their families and their schedules. She is a wonderfully kind hearted individual and has created a family-​like rapport with us — just exactly what you would hope to find in the person with whom you are leaving your precious gems! Anyone would be so lucky to have her care for their child. What’s more, her assistant Ms. Val is every bit as good as Ms. Rose and my daughter learned so much from her — still regularly reciting songs she taught. You can be sure Ms. Rose will always be sure to have a good team around her and one that embodies her own terrific style. Whole heartedly recommend!

We were really lucky that our son was under Ms Rose’s care when he started going to daycare. His transition and the drop offs were much easier than expected because of all the love and attention Ms Rose gave to him. I could go to work with peace of mind knowing he was well cared for and learning new things at the same time. My son truly thrived under her care.
Ms Rose deeply cares about children, she is very sweet and loving and has tons of patience. She is also a great teacher and has a lot of educational toys and activities for the kids. I highly recommend her!

Rose was my son’ s day care teacher since he was 6 months old and he is now 3. Rose was an amazing teacher, incredibly patient, and sincerely cared for all the children as they were her own. My son loved spending the day with Rose and his little buddies at day care. She treats the kids with kindness and takes the time to teach them everything from social skills, academics, and learning how to deal with their emotions, just to name a few. I highly recommend Rose’s Kiddie Garden. She is someone you can trust and feel at ease that your child is safe, cared for, and in a good learning environment.

Rose has been my younger son’s daycare provider since 4 months of age, he’s nearly two now. My son loved her so much that I chose to follow her when she opened her own home daycare when the previous daycare she was employed at closed (owner decided to sell the home). I did this even though it’s the opposite direction from my work commute. I can’t say enough great things about her! She is loving, gentle, even tempered, so nurturing. I know what bad daycares are like and how unhappy children can be at them. I had a rough time finding a good daycare for my older son after moving back to the Bay Area 5 yrs ago (had to pull him out of one because he was not bonding with the infant provider, no wonder since every time I came to pick him up early, he and the other toddlers were in cribs with the tv on. That place was fancy as can be on the outside, but that was all). Because of that experience, I am so grateful for Rose for taking such wonderful care of my younger son. He’s always happy to see her, drop off is super easy because of this, even after a long weekend or vacation. He has a great vocabulary already, follows directions really well, and is very social. I work full time, my son spends more time with Rose than myself during the week and that’s probably one of the reasons why he’s such a great kid!
