This was one of the best schools we took our child to. We have been to 3 other schools, 4 in total, and our child learned the most, was the most well behaved, the teachers were the most engaged and respectful and he was definitely loved the most. We moved back to CA and we miss this school the most!!

Our son has been going to The Growing Place since he barely turned one year old. He initially had trouble walking, but over the years, he has blossomed into a fun loving child. It has been very evident that the entire school community has rallied behind our child. As you walk in, the security officer says hello to all the kids and he even knows your child's name! The teachers truly care about your childs well-being, and the ratio is REALLY good. Also, the classes are small compared to others. Ratio was 1:5/6 when he was young, and in the 3-4 year olds it was 1:8. The classes were larger than other schools we went to and the outdoor playground has LOTS of shade, its spacious and there is plenty to do. The parents are also engaged with the school.We toured over 10 schools, have sent our child to 2 other schools, and this by far is the best. We're moving, but we wish we could bring this school with us. Our child was loved.

Caring, nurturing, and organized environment. It has been such a great place for my two kids. They have kind teachers and staff that personally know your children. Lot's of afterschool activities/sports that come to the school which is great. I would definitely recommend this school to anyone!

Our two sons have been attending The Growing Place since there were 2 years old. (now 6/3). We are extremely happy and satisfied in all aspects, Nurturing, safe and a loving environment. It is a fantastic academy to prepare your youngsters for Elementary anywhere. Specially Pre-K and Kinder are extremely oriented to our main goal of providing a self confident and advance education to the point that our son is at a very highly recommended elementary now with tough and complex academic programs and he is so confident and self assured that he finds it easy. They have safety rules in place which we find great and very safe for our children. We recommend it to anyone and everyone.

It was the school from my older one in kindergarden The teachers were great. But the problem was the way to treat the twins sisters. They were not allowed to play in the playground. They sent a note to everybody i was clearly goaled. But there is other to do that . I m happy that i left this school. And for sure none of my relatives gonna put their kids here ( and not my twins of course)

My daughter attended the Growing Place for nearly 3 years. When I looked for a preschool my main concern was to find a nurturing environment where she could learn through play and exploration while feeling loved and safe. We certainly found that at The Growing Place. In addition to that she graduated from Preschool knowing how to read, beginning to write. She learned about different countries in the world, she has a strong self-esteem, great social skills, a strong faith background. I could not have asked for more!

My eldest son attended this school for 3 years. I can truly appreciate it after moving and sending my other children to a different pre-school. The loving staff makes the transition from home especially easier and they always have special events and programs to keep the children engaged.
