Our son (currently 20 months old) has attended Wee Garden since 4 months old. He has learned so much in Ms Francis' care and is always eager to go every morning. He is learning both Spanish and English and has learned to love music and the outdoors. Wee Garden has introduced him to a wide warily of nutritious foods to help develop his palette. Ms Francis and her staff have helped to establish a healthy daily routine which has been easy to replicate at home. I would highly recommend Wee Garden to anyone looking for an intimate yet skilled and professional childcare setting for their little one!

My one year old son has been going to Wee Garden Daycare for about seven months now, and we are so pleased with the care he receives! Francis and her team are so caring and truly love the children in their care. She makes homemade meals for everyone each day (and takes special care with food for my son, who has many food allergies) and always lets them play outside. We couldn't ask for a better daycare!

This is hands down the absolute best daycare you could ask for. My child has been coming to Wee Garden Day Care for 7 months. Francis and her staff love my child like their own. They make homemade healthy food, give him lots of fresh air on nice days, lots of love and have all kinds of age appropriate things for him to play and learn with. We are beyond blessed to have found this amazing daycare. This is my 3rd child and my other two children went to a different at-home daycare that does not compare to this one. I wish I would have know about Wee Garden Daycare with my other two.

Miss Francis is hands down the BEST!! Our daughter sprints to the door without turning around to say bye to us- she looks forward to going every day! She has such a calm, loving nature about her and we can tell that she truly loves our daughter. She has so many fun things planned for them (water play in the summer, lots of arts and crafts, Santa comes in December) and we love how much outside time our daughter gets when the weather permits. Miss Francis is so patient and I completely attribute our daughter being potty trained so quickly thanks to her! Her daycare is clean (spotless!) and she feeds the kids delicious, healthy meals every day. Our daughter has been going to Wee Garden for about 6 months and we are so grateful every day for finding Miss Francis!!

I met Miss Francis in July of 2019 and immediately upon seeing her home and talking with her, I knew I wanted my son to attend Wee Garden Daycare. I don't even know where to begin; we love Miss Francis like she is our own family. She loves my son and cares for him as if he is her own. She is the most kind and trustworthy person you will ever meet and she has a true passion and love for children. Her facility is impeccable and what she offers is unmatched. The children receive breakfast, lunch and snack (all organic meals... something I don't even offer!) and a set schedule daily. From crafts to yoga, stories and outdoor adventures (they go outside to play every single day the weather permits)... she offers it all. Miss Francis even has music teachers come in once a week to offer the children a music lesson!! Miss Francis also has Santa come during the holiday season and provides gifts for the children and dinner for their families! Words can't even express how thankful we are to have found Wee Garden; we refer all of our friends to her. She is the absolute best, as are the people she employs. Our son loves Miss Rosa and smiles bigger than day when we drop him off in the mornings. We are so grateful to have found Miss Francis and Wee Garden Daycare.

Our daughter has been at Wee Garden Day Care for 7 months. We love how clean Frances keeps the daycare and how she makes the kids homemade healthy meals. She keeps the kids busy and entertained with all sorts of educational activities. We also like how she takes the kid outside on nice days. We are very blessed to have found this daycare when we moved to the area. Frances has a wonderful temperament and is always in a great mood. We just love this daycare.

My son has been attending Wee Garden Daycare for 9 months now and we could not be happier! Francis keeps the space sparkly clean , food she provides is superb (it's organic), and she is very loving and caring person. She helped us with potty training tremendously and was very enthusiastic and encouraging about it. Not to mention, she has a music teacher come once a week. We absolutely love the daycare !

We became the first client at Wee Garden Daycare in 2017 when our daughter was 6 months old. She is now three. Choosing Wee Garden Daycare was, by far, the best decision as we compared other in-home daycare situations. Ms. Francis, and her assistant Vera, are amazing! They are loving, kind, and always engaged with the kids. Our daughter loves "going to school" each day and it gives us peace of mind knowing that she is so well cared for while we are at work. If you are looking for a daycare I encourage you to look no further than Wee Garden. You will be very glad that you did!

We took our our 2 boys out of traditional daycare and placed them with Ms. Francis. Ms. Francis and her assistant are the sweetest, most caring caregivers I have experienced with our boys. She goes above and beyond to make all the kids feel so loved and cared for. Every holiday, birthday, and special event she makes so special for the kids, from having Santa visit the kids to Birthday presents for them . We feel so blessed that we came across her and Wee Garden Day Care!!!

I have 3 kids, but my family watched the older 2 while I worked. For my youngest, I needed childcare, and I was so scared because I never had to use childcare before. I interviewed several home daycares, but I felt so comfortable immediately with Ms. Francis. Some home daycares in basements had a few toys, and I felt like my daughter would get bored. At Wee Garden Day Care, it looks AMAZING. There are so many toys and they have different rooms for the kids to nap or eat lunch. She really did go above and beyond to create an amazing experience for the kids.

My daughter is 1, and she's been going here for a few months. My daughter is obsessed with Ms. Francis' assistant, Ms. Vera. Whenever my husband drops her off in the morning, she goes immediately to Ms. Vera to snuggle her. As a parent, that was one of my biggest fears: that dropping my daughter off would make her cry, and she'd hate it. It gives me such peace of mind that she enjoys going to "her school" every day.

Last Friday, Ms. Francis had Santa come for the kids during pick-up. The parents all came, and Ms. Francis gave presents to all the kids. I was blown away! How many day cares would do something like that?

We were honestly so scared of daycares, but this is something out of our dreams. Breakfast and lunch is included, and it's always all organic food. My husband and I joke that my daughter eats better than we do!

I don't know if you can message me on here, but if you contact Ms. Francis, I'm sure she can give you my contact info because I'd be happy to tell anyone more who has questions. We are so happy here!

Francis has been caring for our twin boys for 10 months now. They love her and sometimes cry when they leave! She maintains a very clean, caring, and safe environment for them and cooks organic meals. She even helped us potty train them, and they have picked up Spanish. We are very happy and our boys are too!

Francis has been taking care of our daughter for half a year now. Our daughter loves going to the daycare everyday and we feel very lucky to have found this place. Francis is very loving, caring, and passionate with what she does. She maintains a very clean environment and is a great cook.

Francis has been a wonderful influence to our family. She has been taking care of my 2 year old daughter since she transitioned from a daycare center, and we are very happy with her. Francis is patient, keeps the little ones busy with fun learning activities, and provides a loving family environment. She even personally cooks for the kids wholesome, organic meals. I love seeing my daughter happy and healthy and feel comfortable that she is thriving with Francis. I consider Francis part of our family

Francis, the owner/caregiver for this business, was nanny to our 4 kids for over 5 years - from infants to elementary school ages. She is amazing - loving, energetic and incredibly sweet. She adores kids and it shows in everything she does. She also has a great work ethic, keeps her home immaculately clean and is very reliable (I don't think she took a sick day in the whole time she worked for us). Although I guess it is a cliche, Francis really is like family to us. Our kids still love for Francis to visit us on holidays and to come babysit for us, and I am more than happy to answer any questions you may have by phone (Francis has my contact details).
