Growing Kids on Eastport has been a blessing to our family. My oldest went there and is now successful in 1st grade. My youngest is there now. He started with Miss Teresa in the infant room and their bond was incredible. They both cried when he moved up to the next room. He still loves to see her each day! He is now in Miss Amelia’s room and her love for him is evident. You can tell she cares for each kid and knows them really well. She was incredible when it came to potty training. In a week she worked with my son and he is now successfully potty trained. He also speaks highly of Miss Vanessa! He is now transitioning to Miss Nicole and you can tell she has a good foundation of education and what kids need. He enjoys spending part of his day with her!

I send my 24 month old child to Growing Kids on Eastport and I am very happy with the care she is provided with. All the teachers here are kind, engaging, and nurturing towards their students. I am especially thankful for Ms Danielle, and her assistant, Ms Emily, who have taught my daughter so much in this past year. My daughter is able to identify all her colors, many shapes, animals, and almost all the letters in the alphabet! Many of our family members are impressed with how much she knows at such a young age. My child goes to school every day excited to see her teachers, and when she is having a hard drop off, they are there to comfort her and give her TLC until she feels better. Sending a young child to an unfamiliar place can be scary but the caring teachers at Growing Kids treat every student as if they were their own. As a mother, seeing this kindness shown to my daughter gives me comfort throughout the day.

We are so grateful to have gotten our son into growing kids!! Teresa and and Ashley and Danielle are amazing in the baby room. They all care about our son from his wellbeing to his development. We always know he's going to get very good care and he is excited every day to go to them when we get there. Even when he has PT or something extra that is needed to work on at home, they help to continue his stretches while at daycare. Tamara is always very friendly and welcoming when getting the front door. Ms Angela is always incredibly helpful when we have important questions. All of the other teachers that fill in have always been very friendly as well.

My son has been with this Eastport location for a few years. He has had some amazing teachers. He was previously with Ms. Sarah, whom he adored and she spoke in a way that shows she genuinely cares. He has transitioned to a new classroom with Ms. Amelia. In this classroom he has grown greatly with his independence and Ms. Amelia was very supportive in helping us as we began potty training. These woman have been significant in the growing and teachings with our son, both with education but also his confidence. I look forward to the continued work they do and hope they will be there to also care for our daughter who also attends part time.

My daughter has been going here since she was 3 months old, back when it was Little U Academy. Isabella has learned so much from her amazing teachers, and I absolutely love all the crafts she brings home. I keep every single one! 🥹 I also love all the pictures they upload on Procare. I miss my little girl when I’m working but it helps seeing her have fun. Ms. Teresa, Ms. Ashley, Ms. Danielle, Ms. Vanessa, and Ms. Madison are all so kind and caring with the kids. The director, Ms. Angela, has always been incredibly helpful and patient with all of my questions. Every time I walk into the daycare, I’m greeted with smiles and kindness.
