Our Location
Gardenia Childcare Center is located in Saint Paul Park along the Mississippi River, just minutes from Cottage Grove and Woodbury, in a quiet neighborhood. Being situated alongside St. Thomas Aquinas Church and Hope Christian Academy also places us within an established, trusted community.
While we share this location, Gardenia is an independent program and is not affiliated with any religious organization.
Our environment remains inclusive, welcoming, and centered on the needs of every child and family.
-
Value emotional intelligence as much as academic achievement, believing that empathy, resilience, confidence, and leadership are essential life skills.
-
Believe childhood should be rooted in nature, where curiosity is nurtured through outdoor exploration and less screen time.
-
Embrace diversity and a global mindset, appreciating different cultures, perspectives, and traditions while raising children to become compassionate and respectful global citizens.
-
Respect educators as trusted professionals and partners in their child's development, as we intentionally invest in our teachers, so they have the support and resources to create exceptional learning experiences.
-
Are looking for more than a childcare center—they want to belong to a welcoming community where children, families, and educators grow together.
