Our Families Say
"The Magic Garden has been the most nurturing, supportive, creative and loving home for our almost two year old this past year and we can't wait to continue next year.."

Better than a day at Ojai Valley Inn? It’s close. For all the mamas & papas with kiddos under 4 looking for a chill/calming/tranquil place in Ojai. The Magic Garden will transform you. I get so rejuvenated after spending some one-on-one time with my toddler at Faye’s. From restful observation, to vigorous yoga and exploration in sound, it feels like she offers something for everyone to take away in the many quaint classes she puts on. The moment you leave your “stuff” at the enchanting gates, you will fill yourself up with gratitude.

I have too many wonderful things to say about the Magic Garden to fit into a paragraph! It has been the most nurturing, supportive, creative and loving home for our almost two year old this past year and we can't wait to continue next year. Faye and the other teachers care for the children as if they are their own and are deeply attuned to them, noticing every development, every mood, every need. I've never felt so comfortable and at ease with my daughter in someone else's care as I do with the Magic Garden team . Faye has truly created a magical experience for these kids full of all of the elements I dream of for my kids, including intentional movement, so much loving connection, beautiful rhythms, creative activities and imaginative play. I feel so lucky that the Magic Garden is a foundational part of our daughter's childhood.

I love what we offer here at the Magic Garden. A childhood filled with beauty, goodness and the wonders of nature is the invitation for all families who step foot through our gates. Just as we choose the experiences our little explorers encounter on this journey of life, so too we are choosing our own experience of parenthood. Make sure you make it a magical one, full of togetherness, present play and love. I am grateful to each and every one of you who sees the magic in the mundane and the beauty of nature. "Ahhh, this must be the place..."
