Growing Hearts Childcare Center P/S

Choosing a childcare provider is one of the biggest decisions a parent can make, and I can say with 100% certainty that Growing Hearts was the best choice for our family. From the moment we walk through the doors, there is an overwhelming sense of warmth and joy. My children have experienced nothing but pure, genuine love from every single staff member here. It truly feels like an extension of our own family. I am always so impressed by how much attention to detail the teachers show—my kiddos are always perfectly well-kempt and happy when I pick them up, which speaks volumes about the level of care they receive throughout the day. I also cherish how they keep me constantly in the loop; I love getting updates on their little milestones and everyday happenings! It gives me such incredible peace of mind while I’m at work. I’ve read some of the more negative reviews, and honestly, they seem like they’re coming from a place of bitterness that doesn't reflect the reality of this center at all. My experience has been nothing short of magical. I could not recommend this center and this phenomenal team more. If you want your children to be cherished and supported, Growing Hearts is the place to be!

Great experience with this daycare, I have never taken my children to a daycare before, and I was very skeptical and unsure, but the ladies here made me feel comfortable made my child feel comfortable and made the process super easy for me. My child loves it. She loves her friends and Staff here they do very well on letting me know if what’s going on with my child & keep me updated on what new things are happening in the daycare. I also have Recommended friends here and they enjoy it as well.

Ever since we started at Growing Hearts, I’ve finally been able to breathe easy knowing my 3-year-old is in the best hands possible. It’s so much more than just a daycare; it feels like dropping him off with family members who truly adore him. I used to worry about how he’d handle being away from home, but the teachers here have such a gift for making him feel seen and special. Seeing him run into his classroom with a huge smile—and sometimes not even wanting to leave at the end of the day—tells me everything I need to know about the love and energy they pour into these kids. Couldn’t reccomend more.

Do yourself a favor and take your child(ren) anywhere else but here. They take in so many kids but refuse to offer a nurturing environment. Staff is not trained properly and talk crazy to kids and parents. They basically forced my hand to sign my daughter up, and during the sign-up I explicitly explained to them my daughter’s needs And explained her diagnosis of ASD and what behaviors may or may not look like, and provided many strategies to help her and staff. And they used her behaviors to their advantage and kicked her out within a few weeks, And during that time they consistently acted as if my daughter was a problem, And on my daughter’s last day when they kicked her out, one of the staff members Made inappropriate comments about my daughter and her diagnosis. Then, when I went to email the director about the comments being made, I was blocked from the program App. There were also many times where my daughter‘s clothes would not return home. This mother daughter, duo Brown’s kids in like cattle, but does not provide a nurturing, loving environment for them, I have heard staff members complain about specific kids, including my own. The entire staff, including the directors need to be retrained on how to run a nurturing and Loving environment for Daycare, And I don’t say this lightly, as someone with the years of experience in childcare. On top of everything else, this is the only daycare I have ever had to pay out of pocket even with subsidize childcare. Only for them to not take the right steps of terminating My child care. I’ve even witnessed staff and parents in the midst of fighting with each other, and a screaming match outside of the daycare building. Never ever ever again.

I’ve tried a few different daycares and summer programs over the last few years for my kids but Growing Hearts has been my favorite. What I appreciate most is the communication, documentation, and follow up when there are any incidents no matter how minor. Even a scraped knee and I’m notified of how it happened and what care was given. I also like that curriculum is instilled for all ages so kids have a good foundation for when they start school, and the after school transportation they provide. Lastly, my kids truly enjoy all of the staff they come home everyday telling me something new and exciting they learned or did that day.
