    Children and Butterflies are beautiful gifts from God!
“A CHILD is like a BUTTERFLY in the wind. Some can fly higher than others, but each one flies the best it can. Why compare one against the other? Each one is DIFFERENT. Each one is SPECIAL. Each one is BEAUTIFUL.”~ author unknown

              5 STARS!This is a magical place! The owners, Dawn and Brian Stoeckel, and their mother, Nana, do an amazing job running this family business. Nana treats all the staff and kids as family and has a demeanor that is always upbeat and friendly. Her lunches are amazing, as she always cooks enough for the staff. Sometimes she’ll cook special meals just for the adults. Dawn is an open minded, understanding Christian woman who puts her whole heart into The Butterfly Garden. Her love of nature and experience as a teacher shows when interacting with the children and staff. Her husband, Brian, is always improving the school with his amazing carpentry skills. It’s very apparent they want the little school to reach its full potential and be an incredible place for all children, parents and staff. Unfortunately, my 45 minute commute got the best of me after two years.

              5 STARS!They don't just babysit the kids. They help them with their "little" emotions and hold them when they are sad. They also do age appropriate development activities. With their help with reading and counting my daughter exceeded all the skills needed to start Kindergarten.

              5 STARS!The staff is AMAZING. My son just started going there a few days ago and when I tell you I am soooo happy I enroll my son there words can’t explain. As a first time mom and hearing horror story about daycare I was very scared to put him in daycare but, upon some research I came across The Butterfly Garden and I decide to go in for a tour and instantly I FEEL IN LOVE WITH STAFF AND THE FACILITY. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM !!!

              5 STARS!I love the quality of childcare my children receive at the Butterfly Garden! While the childcare center appears new due to a change in ownership this past year, it has not changed childcare employees. My children (2 and 5) have been lovingly cared for over the past year by trained professionals with over 50 decades of collective childcare experience. My favorite part is how attentive the employees are with each child's needs. My children have very different personalities and they are both given the chance to flourish at the Butterfly Garden.

              5 STARS!For the first three years of their life my twins stayed at home in the comfort & security of our home with their grandmother. I was anxious to put them in a place that they would love & that I could have the same comforts about. The Butterfly Garden is that place. They are learning and developing tremendously there & EVERYONE that works there is so kind & loving, not only to the twins, but to parents as well. I would definitely recommend. Thank you for loving my babies!

              5 STARS!We love The Butterfly Garden! I was so scared to leave my toddler in someone else's care, but the teachers and director are so kind and knowledgeable that I immediately felt comfortable leaving him with them. He loves his teacher, and I love the safe and creative environment they've made for the children!
