Chesterton’s Nationally Accredited Childcare for Infants Through School Age
Growing Kids Chesterton offers nationally accredited childcare for every stage — from infants as young as 6 weeks through school age. One location. Security cameras throughout. Tree-lined playground. Caregivers who know your child’s name.
Not Just Licensed — Nationally Accredited.
Most childcare centers in the Chesterton area meet basic state licensing requirements. Growing Kids goes further. Our Chesterton location holds national accreditation — an independent, rigorous evaluation of curriculum quality, caregiver-to-child ratios, safety standards, and family communication. It’s the highest quality standard in early childhood care, and we meet it every day.
From infants at 6 weeks to school-age children through age 12, Growing Kids Chesterton offers age-specific programming for every stage. Security cameras throughout the property, classroom observation windows, in-house cleaning staff, and a beautiful tree-lined playground set us apart from standard daycare options in Porter County.

Care for Every Age Group
Dedicated rooms for infants (6 weeks+), toddlers & young preschool, preschool (3–5), and school-age children through age 12. Age-specific programming at every stage — not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Nationally Accredited
National accreditation means our curriculum, staffing ratios, safety practices, and family communication have been independently verified against the highest standards in early childhood care — well beyond state licensing.
Security Cameras
Security cameras monitor all areas of our Chesterton property every day. Combined with key-code entry, your child’s safety is a top priority at every drop-off and pickup.
Tree-Lined Playground
A spacious outdoor playground surrounded by big beautiful trees, with age-appropriate equipment, tricycles, and basketball nets. Safe outdoor play in a setting that feels like a neighborhood backyard — not a parking lot.
Classroom Observation Windows
See your child’s classroom during drop-off and pickup without disrupting the day. Observation windows let you check in on your child’s environment and activities at any visit.
