The Care Garden Learning and Development Center was started in February 2001 by Aaron Simmons. In 2001, Aaron was relatively new to the neighborhood and was trying to find a quality childcare facility for his children, and was very disappointed with the options that were available. There were several facilities in the neighborhood, some which provided supervision, but did not offer anything challenging in their curriculum, others whose prices were cost prohibitive, and curriculums didn't seemed much better than the first group. Frustrated by these findings, Mr. Simmons used his prior experience as a teacher and entrepreneur to start the Care Garden. His vision of a center which provided high quality education at a reasonable price.
