In 1975 a jock from the University of Florida (Orlando) met an aspiring model from Miami (Susana) at a wedding between mutual friends. The attraction was near instantaneous and the duo ended up dancing the night away. Growing fonder of each other with every disco step, Orlando asked Susie if he could keep in touch with her.

My son went to Gardens Learning Center for 3 years (2015-2017). I love that it is family owned and have been in business for so many years. They do an excellent job with the children. My son loved it there, the teachers were great and Eddy and Sofia were always so amazing as well.

I worked at GLC for 5+ years and my kids also went there and It was a fun and warm place to be. The entire family: Susie, Orlando, Sofia, Eddy and Bobby always made me feel like family and till to this day when ever I see them. They would always go above and beyond for everyone. They never missed to celebrate the employees and the children's millstones. They are Christ centered people and care deeply about everybody. Many circles of friends were created at the time I worked there. Several of my close friendships were created there. I have nothing but amazing memories of this place!

We have lived in this area since 1979 and I remember how challenging it was finding the right preschool for my own children back then. When my daughter had her first child and had to return to work after her 3-month leave I felt her sadness. Having to trust her newborn to someone else’s care is very scary. We started touring preschools and when we walked into GLC we knew our search was over! Sofia was so warm and welcoming. She answered all of our questions, the school was clean and organized and the children we observed through the windows of the classrooms were happy! My granddaughter has been

Absolutely 100% recommend GLC for your child care. I am a former employee and the few years I was there management was the best! It’s hard to find a trusting childcare with the same management. GLC has been under the same family management since they opened! Management hired me, took care of me and treated me just like family. If I still lived in FL I would bring my kids no where else but here!

I am writing to highly recommend Gardens Learning Center for your child care needs in the Palm Beach Gardens area. This family owned day care is like no other. The owners are on site and work full time at the center. They are easy to approach and want the best for the children that attend. The staff and management are top notch. The environment is very family oriented and loving. The staff will love your children as if they are their own. Choosing a day care is a difficult decision and when you choose GLC you will feel comfortable and confident that your child is being cared for and loved on by

I absolutely love this school. My children both attended and I worked there for several years. Working for Sofie and her family was fantastic. Not only are they great employers but they are fantastic educators who truly care about each and every child and go above and beyond to make the kids and parents feel at home. They have a strong educational curriculum where the children not only learn but enjoy learning. Being an expectant mother now, I am 100% set on bringing my baby back to GLC when she starts preschool. I can't say enough good things about this school and I highly recommend them to any

I worked here for almost 2 years! Such a family oriented place! Management made us feel special every birthday and Christmas. I worked here while studying to further my career and when it was time, Sophia and Eddy gave their honest opinion about me when they were called as a reference[PS. I got the job :) ]. If I lived closer, my little guy would be attending GLC! Thank you again for the many opportunities.

My son went to GLC many years ago. At the time, I was needing to find a good place for my him to grow, learn, and be in a safe environment. Before I brought him to GLS, he was at another daycare in which I had to pull him out because he was not safe in the hands of the caregiver that was watching him. There was an incident that happened between two caregivers and both got into a heated discussion while one of them was holding my son!! That's a NO NO! Thank God I pulled him out in time. I found this place out of grace and an answered prayer. GLC is very close to my Home Church and close to my home

Gardens Learning Center has been an answered prayer for our family. Initially, as first- time parents we toured various centers & felt GLC was the best fit. We cannot say enough good things about them. Both of our children have enjoyed attending and learning. It is such peace of mind to know they are receiving professional, loving care. They come home clean. happy, and excited to share what they learned. The friendly, professional staff fosters a great environment for learning & developing positive social skills. The Pre- K program prepares a good foundation for kindergarten. The facility is always

Although I am not a parent yet, I am a pediatric speech therapist who has been going to GLC for 5 years to provide services. I have formed relationships with Susie, Orlando, Eddy and Sofia over the years. The staff truly care about the children and provide both a great educational and Christian-based curriculum. Sofia has done a great job over the years referring children to me WHO TRULY NEED SPEECH THERAPY and I feel blessed that I have been able to help so many of them. For the record, GLC does not "tell parents there is something wrong with their child in order to collect extra funds (therapy

I just wanted to tell everyone how wonderful my experience was at GLC for my 3 month olds first day. I was extremely nervous like I'm sure every mom is for their babies first day at daycare. From the moment I arrived I was greeted with warm smiles. The director Sophia was absolutely amazing helping me organize and communicate my needs and wants with the teachers. She's just the best! When I arrived to pick him up, everyone told me how precious and wonderful he was. Like everyone, all the teachers and staff were just so loving and caring and so happy to tell me what a great day he had
