️️️️️Growing Kidz has been an incredible part of our daughter’s life — and ours. From the moment we walked in, it didn’t feel like just a daycare. It felt like we were dropping her off with family. The staff is so warm, loving, and attentive — not just professional caregivers, but people who genuinely care. She’s surrounded by people who know her, encourage her, and celebrate her, and that means everything to us. One of the things we love most is how much she learns through real, hands-on experiences. She’s grown baby chicks, watched caterpillars transform into butterflies, and come home excited about science experiments they did that day. It’s clear they’re not just teaching — they’re nurturing curiosity, confidence, and kindness in such a thoughtful way. We’ve seen her grow so much — not just academically, but emotionally and socially, too. She’s more independent, expressive, and compassionate, and we know that’s because of the love and care she receives every day. We’re so grateful to the Growing Kidz team. It truly feels like she’s surrounded by family and friends who want the best for her — and as a parent, that’s the greatest gift you could ask for.

When my wife and I started going through the anxious process of finding full time child care for our daughter, I kept looking for a center that was going to get them as prepared as possible for school. Through the process, I discovered that we were looking for a center that we trusted to provide a safe environment. With that safe environment, does the staff Agape Love the children. In our family, we believe the highest form of Love is an intentional act of selfless giving to another. It’s not always fun, and it usually isn’t easy, but it is for us the best kind of love. We quickly concluded that Growing Kidz delivered safety and Agape Love in spades.
Over the years, we have bear witness to this time and time again. The interesting thing is that when you have a committed staff providing Agape Love to your most precious things, everything else seems to fall in place. There are countless moments that the entire staff have brought fulfillment and joy to my heart through all the wonderful things they have done with my children. I would be remiss to say there haven’t been a few tough times, but again, a staff that offers Agape Love ultimately commits to making sure our children get what they need.
For those of you looking for the practical angle, I can say my daughter entered Kindergarten with above average scores on her state testing. She also received Special Spartan of the Month as a result of specific acts of good character. I know that was in large part due to the expectations and environment created from Growing Kidz. Growing Kids recognized some areas that my son needed help. As a result, we have seen marked improvement.
We can talk about child/teacher ratio, teaching structure, or whatever else, but I have found time and time again it’s all in the staffs’ desire to be there and positively effecting your child’s development. We were incredibly blessed to have found and be a part of a staff that delivers that from beginning all the way through PreK.

We’ve been part of the Growing Kidz community since 2021, and what’s meant the most to us is the strong sense of connection we feel every day. Our children aren’t just cared for by their teachers—they’re known and loved by the entire staff, creating a true village of support. From holiday parades to everyday drop-ins, the Center feels like an extension of our family. It’s a place where our kids are not only safe and learning, but genuinely belong.
