Green Monkey Daycare

"I am beyond grateful for the incredible experience my daughter had at Green Monkey. Ms. Ruby provided a nurturing space where genuine care and respect for each child's individuality were at the forefront! Ms. Ruby's calm demeanor along with an environment that was thoughtfully designed to encourage exploration and discovery, allows children to develop at their own pace. It was amazing to witness my daughter confidently make choices and express herself freely! :) I am truly grateful for the positive impact Green Monkey has had on my daughter's early years. The values instilled here will undoubtedly shape my daughter's future, and as a parent, there's nothing more comforting than knowing your child is in the hands of a team that genuinely cares! This daycare is not just a place; it's a community, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to any parent seeking a nurturing and enriching environment for their child!!"

"Green Monkey and Ruby were such a blessing for my kids and us for many years. I wish I could have brought Ruby and all the little kiddos to our new home out of state because the environment is so unique, amazing, special, encouraging, and the ultimate sense of COMMUNITY. The mind set of this in-home child learning center is the best and really allowed both of our children to thrive, explore, and grow. We miss our Green Monkey community so much and if you have the opportunity to have your kid(s) here, it will bring so much joy to you and your kids!"

"Enrolling our daughter at green monkey was one of the best decisions we made for our family. Our daughter was one year old when we first enrolled her and she stayed through age 5 before graduating to Kindergarten. Food was provided for at breakfast and lunch and we appreciated the healthy food choices the kids were given. All meals were home made as well. My daughter will actually eat the fruit and veggies at Ruby’s which she refuses to eat at home. Throughout the day there is 0 screen time. The kids play inside and outside and get plenty of outdoor time. There are also a ton of pictures and updates throughout the day that we would appreciate and forward to our family. We appreciated how Ruby was always able to connect with our daughter and the environment she built helped contribute to who she is today. The RIE method was something we were introduced to and our daughter learned a lot of positive methods of communicating and expressing herself. Potty training was also a breeze and not stressful. Ruby was excellent at identifying what point our daughter was ready and it came naturally. Also diaper wipes were included with the tuition when we attended. We loved every minute of this experience and our daughter made a lot of great friends. We also enjoyed all of the outside gatherings, parties and events hosted by Ruby and enjoy the community they built."

"We knew very little about the RIE approach but knew we wanted a place that treated children respectfully, allowed lots of outdoor play and offered a green environment. Green Monkey was that and more. Ruby is a wonderful caretaker and owner. She is constantly learning to improve the experience for the kids and the parents. And my daughter, who just graduated, adores Ruby. GM also provides organic, home-cooked meals and snacks. The food is good my daughter won't let me cook her orzo, she only wants Ms Ruby's. Both my kids went there from around infant/toddler age till they moved into preschool. We are so glad our kids got to experience all that GM is."

"Ruby and the Green Monkey helpers were a major part of our family’s lives for the past 6 years. Ruby cares for each child like they are her own, and the community atmosphere is something that I have not seen elsewhere. I would highly recommend Green Monkey to anyone looking for a small, loving daycare community."
