Communication is always key, they usually help you find a way that works for everyone. My kids really liked their teachers and friends. Music and movement.. mess room time. Yes messy room! Where your kids can do art and science and get messy with all the sensory play. My favorite though is the play area in the back yard, lots of room to run and play, by far the best I’ve seen for miles. It’s easy to access near NASA and 45 for going and coming from work and home. Plus when I pick up there is lots to do in the area if I want to.

August 10, 2023This place is amazing. I have five kids that currently go here, three of them have been attending the Growing Place since they were infants. The teachers are nice and… read more very respectful. They’ve had a few problems but were quick to fix the situations and you can’t hold them to blame for the actions of others. I was just very pleased in those instances by their fastness to fix the situations when they arose and how truthful and forth coming they were to let you know about the situation. They are willing to work with you as long as you respectful and let them know the full situation that it happening. My kids will continue to attend here until they are too old for daycare or if we move to far away.
