About the Provider
Conveniently located, yet nestled away from the hustle and bustle of the city, our Shelton center is located in a modern and exceptionally spacious school building.

A Child's Garden has been providing quality care since 1981. Our Head Teachers are required to have a CDA, Associate or Bachelor's Degree. All of our teachers are First Aide & CPR trained as well as trained in administering medication.
