of Growing Together Celebrating 3 Decades
Of Quality Care
Preschool & Child Care Center Serving Northern Indiana
Since opening our first school in 1995, Growing Kids has been dedicated to helping children grow smarter, stronger, and kinder in a safe and nurturing environment. For three decades, families have trusted us to be more than just a childcare center—we’ve been a partner in learning, discovery, and growth.
As we celebrate 30 years of Growing Together, we’re reflecting on the journey that brought us here, the families who’ve trusted us, and the communities we proudly serve.

“My Growing Kids experience was so wonderful because of all the fantastic teachers I worked with. Everyone was always helpful and caring. I especially like that Growing Kids was a family-run business. It was always nice to see the Garatonis in the building and listening to our concerns.”
A Heartfelt Thank You For 30 Wonderful Years
To every child, parent, and teacher who has been part of our story—thank you. Your trust and support have made the last 30 years possible, and we’re excited for all the growing and learning yet to come.
