Preschool & Child Care Center Serving Northern Indiana
Our Story –
By Beth & Mike Garatoni, Founders of Growing Kids
People often ask why we started Growing Kids – That’s easy, we had kids! Once we became parents, our outlook on just about everything changed (as we assume it does for all parents). When we first became parents, we spent a lot of time with other new parents and were surprised to hear how many parents were not very enthusiastic about their childcare providers.
We knew we could do better than that – the parents and kids deserve something better. So, the idea for Growing Kids was born.
We wanted to offer a service that parents would be excited about – that their child was learning and growing to his/her fullest potential, was safe and clean, was open the hours that parents needed care, and (most importantly) gave the parents peace of mind.
Over the years, Growing Kids has “grown” – we continue to ask, observe, study, add, improve, and review. The focus has stayed the same. Focus on the needs of the child and the needs of the parent. It’s been over 20 years since the days we started as a family-owned business. We are still excited about what we do and will continue to grow and develop centers for as long as we can imagine.
