Author: Courtney Lusink Rating: 5/5 Date: 3/10/2025, 2:42:06 PM Review: Upon seeing the reviews for all Growing Room's locations, I was skeptical, however, the facility we're at is great. The staff are lovely, kind, and knowledgeable. The individuals caring for your children are also kind, caring, and knowledgeable. I've never walked into the back and heard yelling, have I walked in and heard an enunciated voice, yes - but the tone wasn't critical, upon leaving I let the front staff know and they immediately thanked me for letting them know and someone left the front to help the teacher. Caring for kids is a lot of work, but this location is wonderful, and I cannot recommend it enough. There is a curriculum for all classrooms and without giving too much information away, I can tell you my child is learning and growing very well.

Highly recommend Growing Room! My oldest daughter went through years ago, and my youngest started at 9 months and is currently in VPK. We have been blessed with wonderful, caring teachers throughout the years that have done an amazing job getting them ready for kindergarten, all while feeling safe and well-cared for. The included meals are also a great bonus!
Worst daycare you will ever find to take your kids too. They will stay SICK and the director is very RUDE AND MANISH towards little girls. Lindsey is very racist and it shows very well she always rude to the kids ! Tanisha sits in the office and run like a maid for them and she is very rude.
If you want your child to build strong immunity, then this is the place for you. In the first two weeks, my child was exposed to chicken pox, impetigo, and hand foot mouth disease. I saw a child with active hand foot mouth skin lesions return to the class! The toys are always sticky and I wonder when they were last wiped down. Before lunchtime, the children are asked to sit on the carpet. When the food is ready, the children scramble to their seats and feed themselves with their hands. No hand sanitizer is used and no hand washing is done immediately before they touch their food. Essentially all the germs that they touched on the carpet goes into their mouths. The curriculum is very structured and rigid and great for institutionalizing your child. There is neither flexibility in learning nor helping your child develop their own interests. Even though they have an “open door” policy, expect to be chastised by the director if you want to stay with your child. Apparently the director believes parent presence and involvement in the classroom has a negative impact on your child’s development. The director frowns upon the open door policy and frankly told me I was hurting my daughter by being in the classroom.
Growing Room has been such a blessing to our family! The teachers and staff are amazing! My daughters have excelled in school since starting at Growing Room!
