The Warsaw center is on E 200 N just east of Biomet Drive, which puts it a few minutes from the orthopedic company campuses, the hospital and the US 30 corridor. A 5:30 am open covers first shift and early surgical schedules. Inside there is a comfortable parent waiting area where you can watch your child in action at drop-off or pick-up. Outside, the playgrounds are where the kids spend part of every day the weather allows. Staff keep a watchful eye through cameras in every classroom and one monitored entrance.
Built for the orthopedic capital's schedule. Warsaw runs on early shifts and surgical hours. A 5:30 am open on the Biomet Drive side of town means drop-off happens on the way in, not before dawn somewhere else.
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.
A place to watch. The parent waiting area lets you see your child in the room at drop-off and pick-up, which makes the first weeks easier for everyone.
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 Warsaw center participates in CCDF vouchers and On My Way Pre-K.
Open when schools are not. Eight closure days a year. Two hour delays, snow days and in-service days are covered for Warsaw school age kids.

Growing Kids also has child care benefit arrangements with a number of area employers, and in Warsaw it is worth asking HR specifically, since several of the large employers in town offer child care benefits.
