My kids have been going to Kids grow for years now. I was initially referred by a coworker so, know lots of kids that have attended. In the past few years they have made some amazing improvements to their center- updating rooms, furniture and software. The teachers are nice, attentive and caring. There has been teacher turnover in the past years (dating back to Covid) but every center in the area has that. The teachers provide great communication and updates about your children throughout the day on the Procare app. They provide a fun weekly curriculum, holiday themed party’s a wonderful PTO week each year to families. If you are looking for a simple yet fun/safe learning experience I would recommend the center to family and friends.
My child attended this center for 4 years, we left for a district preschool. Our child was well cared for, felt safe and loved, and was very happy at this center. The center is kept clean and basic communication from teachers was great. No complaints about safety, food, or learning. I can't speak to the DHS complaints of other reviews, but we've experienced no problems personally so I can't comment one way or another. None of our infant or toddler teachers remain at the center now so I just can't vouch for those levels anymore. Teacher turnover is semi-frequent, but my friends at other centers experienced similar turnover so I'm not sure what to say about that. Our child was lucky enough to have several teachers that stayed at the center despite switching rooms so there was some consistency. That said, I'm deducting a star for the frequent director turnover and truly atrocious communication from the director level (this is not an attack on the current director (Sept 2022) as she is relatively new as we are leaving the center). The director position has no stability and we often found out important information after the fact (like a classroom teacher change). I encourage Kids Grow to find a solution to their constant director turnover and provide communications training for all directors.
Our daughter attended Kids Grow Hope for 9 months, and unfortunately, we had a negative experience. The center smells of dirty diapers and mold, and the carpets were so dirty that her socks were black by the end of the day—even though she didn’t walk yet. There was a high turnover of teachers, and often, the staff was out of ratio, which led to inconsistencies in our daughter’s schedule, including missed bottles. While we met some wonderful teachers who clearly cared, they were also frustrated by poor upper management. We were encouraged by several staff members to report issues to the state, as they felt they needed support. When we raised concerns, management either didn’t respond or made excuses. Policies were frequently changed without any communication. The center doesn’t seem to invest in its facilities—most of the toys appeared to be donated by parents or bought by the teachers themselves. Additionally, the spotty WiFi meant the app was often out of date. While there are some amazing teachers at the center, the management's lack of support and attention to these issues make it difficult to recommend. I wouldn't feel comfortable recommending this center to family or friends.
We have had a great experience with Kids Grow. My son attended Kids Grow Hope from 6 mo-12 mo. We left only because a spot closer to home opened up. Unfortunately that didn't work out and when we were in a bind for coverage, they were able to help us out real fast! Emma has always been open and honest with communication. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because I wish they would have sent pictures on a daily basis. I would definitely recommend though.
My daughter has been attending Kids Grow Hope for about 6-months. The Infant Teachers have been wonderful in communicating and meeting the needs of our baby. We love the Director and Assistant Directors as well! Everyone is so cheerful and engaged, and I am always greeted with a smile and fun stories about my child’s day. I recommend Kids Grow to anyone in the area looking for care!
