I appreciate how the teachers let me know what’s going on with my child

Thank yo…Read More

Thankful for Growing Kids
1. Thank you for having a staff lounge. I know that this seems like its a ‘given’, but the child care I worked for did not have a staff lounge. Reasons being: “it’s not a good use of money to add to the building” and “it creates a space for staff members to gossip”. At Growing Kids, I remember using the staff lounge for many t…Read More

Our spirited and expressive child was eager to attend, knowing that he was accepted and nurtured as a unique individual.
Dear Growing Kids family, It is a very rare occasion that I write a letter of accolade such as this, however, given my family's experience with Growing Kids on US-23, it is the prudent thing to do. It is not difficult to find a daycare or pre-school which is in the business of providing care for your child. It is an exception to find a structured o…Read More
