It is the mission of Green Garden to provide excellent child care in an environment free from harmful toxins and dangerous chemicals. Everything we do from cooking to cleaning, playing to learning is carefully planned and designed to be earth friendly. We believe it is our responsibility to care for our Earth and preserve it's precious resources for our children. We are proud to furnish our center with toys that are made from natural items, recycled, or otherwise earth-friendly. We promise to use only natural and biodegradable cleaning products all throughout our facility. We gladly accept cloth diapers, glass bottles, and expressed breast milk. Some of our green actions include: purchasing used or repurposed items whenever possible, buying new products made primarily of renewable materials, using recycled paper products, limiting plastics and NEVER cook with them, and recycling/composting as much of our waste as possible.

🎉💚 Happy 1-Year Anniversary, Ms. Lily! 💚🎉

Help us celebrate one amazing year of Ms. Lily at our Huntington Woods Campus! 🥳

Ms. Lily has been rocking it in our Infant room, bringing structure, cuddles, and so much care to our youngest learners every day! 👶💚 No matter what classroom she's in, she has a special way of creating a sense of comfort and making children feel safe, loved, and supported.

We are so thankful for the passion, energy, and heart Lily brings to work each day. Her dedication to our children, families, and team does not go unnoticed!

Thank you, Ms. Lily, for showing up for our Green Garden family every single day and for making a difference in the lives of the little ones you care for. We are so lucky to have you! 🌱✨

🎉 Happy 1 Year, Ms. Lily! Here's to many more! 💚

Did you miss your directors this week? Well a few of them have been in Florida for the Conscious Discipline® elevate conference—three full days of learning, plus a little extra time for fun. 🌴

While we’ve been here, I keep coming back to this one thing:

the way we support a child at 3 can shape the tools they carry at 16.

Think about it…Self-regulation isn’t a switch we are born knowing how to flip. It develops through experience. When a child meets frustration with a steady adult who offers connection, holds a boundary, and helps them find their way back, they get practice with skills that are still taking shape. Repeated experiences help build and strengthen the brain’s pathways for regulation, flexibility, and problem-solving.

That’s why early childhood work reaches SO far beyond the classroom. We’re not only helping children through today’s hard moment. We’re helping lay foundations they can draw on in friendships, school, work, and relationships years from now.

If we want to change the world, this is part of where it starts: in the everyday moments when adults help children feel safe, capable, and connected.

We’re excited to bring what we’ve learned back to Green Garden and keep strengthening this work together. 💚

At Green Garden Huntington Woods, we believe learning should feel like an adventure — for children AND teachers!

🍎 WHY HUNTINGTON WOODS?

🌿 Nature-focused learning
Take learning outside, explore the seasons, collect treasures, build with loose parts, and turn everyday moments into meaningful learning experiences.

🐔 A little Green Garden magic
From our chickens to our outdoor spaces, there’s always something happening! Our teachers get to experience those special “only at Green Garden” moments right alongside the children.

🎨 Bring your creativity!
We want teachers who have ideas, personality, and a passion for working with children. Your classroom is a place to create, explore, and make learning fun!

🤎 A team that has your back
Childcare is better when we work together. We believe in supporting one another, celebrating wins, and getting through the busy days as a team.

🌱 Room to grow
Whether you’re just starting your Early Childhood journey or have years of experience, we want to help you grow — from Lead Teacher opportunities to future leadership!

✨ And the best part?
You get to make a difference in a child’s life every single day. The muddy boots, big laughs, “LOOK WHAT I FOUND!” moments, hugs, and little victories make it all worth it. 🥹💚

🎉💚 Happy 5-Year Anniversary, Ms. Zaniyah! 💚🎉

Help us celebrate 5 amazing years of Ms. Zaniyah at Green Garden! 🥳

Ms. Zaniyah has truly been a gem at our Hazel Park campus. She may be one of our quieter teachers, but the impact she makes each day is anything but small! ✨

Zaniyah has a special way of building strong, trusting relationships with the children. Their faces light up when she walks into the classroom, and some little friends will even grab their favorite book and bring it over for her to read before she has even made it to the floor! 📚🥰

Over her five years with Green Garden, Zaniyah has worked with all age groups and has become someone our teams can count on. You may even spot her at different Green Garden campuses, always willing to lend a helping hand wherever she's needed! 💚

We have loved watching Zaniyah grow throughout these past five years, and we can't wait to see where her Green Garden journey takes her next! 🌱✨

🎉 Happy 5 Years, Zaniyah! We are so lucky to have you on our team! 💚

“I do it myself!” … followed immediately by “Hold me.” 💚

That’s toddlerhood. Growing independence, big feelings, and a need to know someone is close.

At Green Garden Madison Heights, we make room for all of it. Time to try again. Teachers who help put feelings into words. Outdoor adventures, messy discoveries, and relationships that make school feel familiar.

🌿 We’re hosting an open house next week! Because Yes, we finally have a few toddler openings! ☺️

Come explore our classrooms, meet our team, and picture your little one spending their days here. Bring your toddler, bring your questions, and get to know the people who would become part of their world.

📅 Open house details and RSVP:

🎉💚 BIG NEWS! Ms. Zaniyah Has Been Promoted! 💚🎉

We are SO excited to announce that Ms. Zaniyah has officially been promoted to Senior Substitute! 🥳👏

While Hazel Park will always be Zaniyah’s home campus, her new role gives her the opportunity to spread her Green Garden magic and support our amazing teams at other campuses on select days! 🌱✨

This promotion is a wonderful reflection of Zaniyah’s dedication, flexibility, and willingness to jump in wherever she is needed. She has shown that she is someone our teams can count on, and we are so proud of the growth she has shown!

We can't wait to see her take on this new role, meet new teammates, and bring her positive energy to campuses across Green Garden! 💚

🎉 Congratulations, Ms. Zaniyah! We are so excited for you and all that's ahead! 🥳🌟

This is what we mean when we say childhood should feel real.

Not a plastic chicken in a dramatic-play center.
Not a picture of a chicken on a flashcard.
Not a week-long “farm theme.”

The chicken is right there.

So our children learn how to slow their bodies down enough for an animal to trust them. They learn that living things have boundaries. They notice what the chickens eat, how they move, where eggs come from, and what happens when humans consistently care for something besides themselves.

And look at the adult in this photo.

He isn’t standing over the children delivering a lesson about chickens.

He’s beside them, experiencing it with them.

That distinction matters at Green Garden.

We want fewer simulations of childhood and more actual childhood—real animals, real gardens, real tools, real problems to solve, real relationships, and adults who know when to teach and when to simply make space for discovery.

Because children don’t need us to make the world interesting.

The world is already interesting. We just have to let them get close enough to it. 🌱🐓

That’s Green Garden💚
