The Magical Garden Daycare - Studio City, California

Jenni Kephart

As a long-time educator and first-time mom, I was very particular about where to place my very energetic 4 year old son. I wanted a nurturing play-based environment where he could learn to interact with others and also begin adjusting to expectations and authority but not be forced to sit down or follow rigid rules. The Magical Garden was a wonderful place for him because it was so small and personalized. Having a very small number of children with high staff support who truly care about each child and get to know them deeply was an incredible experience. My son had major separation anxiety after being away from us for the first time, and Veronica helped our son and us move through this challenging phase. I love that there is a very nice outdoor area where the kids can run and play safely, and yoga classes and plenty of art projects. I found Veronica to be easy to communicate with and organized about being in touch about upcoming days off (with plenty of notice). The pricing is very fair, especially for the ratio of kids to staff! She and her staff do take paid holidays, including a long winter break, so be aware upon registration and do not hesitate to ask for clarification about dates. I believe this is a common practice, but it wasn't something I knew about going in. Overall, if you are looking for a small, caring, and creative environment, you couldn't ask for a better place to send your little one.

I feel so fortunate that we have found this warm and incredible daycare nearby our home! Veronica and her family members and other assistant teachers are very responsible, super great with kids, I could tell as I toured in Magical Garden at the first time, the kids were so happy and satisfied. They were doing yoga, outdoors, listening music, you can feel the chill and happy vibes around. I was like, that’s it!

Our son attended on his 6 months old, he’s very enjoying his days in here. He was so sensitive and afraid of people before, now he turns out super active and cheerful. I really appreciate it.

Plus, Veronica has really good taste, she is a fashion artist! And I love her home decorations, wide open yard, I feel great to let our son grow in this beautiful space.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the amazing experience my son has had at The Magical Garden for the past (almost) 2 years. The caregivers are nurturing, loving and genuine women and they create a space where little ones can truly flourish. One of a kind day care with plenty of outdoor play, music and art. We are so lucky to have found this gem!!

We are so happy that we found The Magical Garden Daycare last year, especially during Covid. Our son has been going weekly since. We were very specific about what kind of daycare we wanted and Veronica and her wonderful home checked off all our boxes. Play-based, outdoors, focusing mainly on art, dance, yoga, music, etc. Daycare shouldn't be academic focused and it should be as inclusive as possible. I love getting photos and updates from Veronica throughout the day as well. We couldn't be more satisfied with our decision to send our son to her daycare!

My son has been at Magical Daycare for almost two years and Veronica and her team are like members of our own family. As a first-time mom, I was so afraid of putting my son in daycare (especially during the covid-times) but from the moment I toured The Magical Garden, I could feel and see the genuine nurturing energy and passion for the children's development. The house is always clean and inviting. The children are always happy and healthy. Veronica and her team truly take care of the children like they are their own, even her dog coco always greets us with a smile and cuddles. My son will be starting pre-school soon and my husband and I often talk about how we wish he could stay at The Magical Garden Daycare FOREVER because it truly is a magical place.

We couldn’t love The Magical Garden Daycare more!!! It has been like an extended family for our 4 year old daughter.. Veronica and her helpers are the best they are very in tune with each child! I feel at peace when my daughter is at Daycare as I know she loves it and is being looked after so well. The setting is superb predominately setup in the big oasis garden it’s incredibly special! I honestly can’t recommend The Magical Garden enough!

I am very protective of my kids specially my grandson so we had to find the best day care for him out there. Veronica made us feel welcome right away and the environment is so loving and inviting. The kids learn so much and are definitely thriving here. So thankful we can have peace of mind knowing our kids are in the best place.

Coming out of Covid my wife and I where very nervous in finding someplace we trusted, we saw around 15 and nothing felt right, to say we where a little particular is an understatement. As soon as we met Veronica and the staff we fell in love, and so did our kid. Everything is always clean, and everyones is always smiling and laughing. It feels exactly like everything you want in a daycare. Nice food, warm people, and smiling kids. There is not a place I could recommend more.
