⚠️ URGENT WARNING ⚠️ Do NOT send your child here this daycare is dangerous! Children are being mistreated and even abused. Behind the smiles, there is dishonesty and a complete lack of care for the kids. Instead of providing love, guidance, and protection, they gossip, neglect, and mistreat the very children they are entrusted with. This is not about nurturing — it’s about profiT. The conditions are filthy, and the food being given to kids is unsafe and a serious health hazard. This is not a place of care. it’s a place that puts children at risk every single day. Please, protect your kids and keep them far away from here before it’s too late.

My son has been with the Growing Patch since he was 4 months old and he is now about to be 2 years old. As a new mom I was so nervous leaving my son in the hands of someone else but my fears were quickly resolved. The staff always keeps me updated on everything that he does and are very responsive to my questions and concerns when I did have them. The Growing Patch is an awesome daycare and I truly admire that they love my son as if he was there own! The BEST hands down!

The Growing Patch is amazing. Every child is treated as family. The care provided is stellar. All of the staff are very good at what they do. The curriculum provided for each age group allows each child to be prepared for the next step they will be taking. I would not send my grandchildren to any other place.
