Classrooms are cleaned continuously by in-house staff and sanitized after the last child leaves.
Accredited care close to home. Marshall County families can find a nationally accredited, Level 4 program right here in Plymouth.
Security designed by people who do it for a living. Growing Kids' safety protocols were designed with a child care security company run by former Secret Service agents. One locked, monitored entrance, biometric check-in and check-out, cameras in every classroom and an emergency call system in every room, coordinated with local police and fire departments.
Main Street. At the heart of the center is Main Street, a child sized mini town where kids play through real life, running a cafe, a post office and a store.
Everything else is right there. Walmart, Lowe's, LifePlex and the medical offices are in the same development. Parents build the center into errands rather than around them.
Accredited, not just licensed. Indiana licensing is the floor. NECPA accreditation and a Level 4 Paths to QUALITY rating are earned on top of it. The Plymouth center participates in CCDF vouchers and On My Way Pre-K.
