I am happy to share our experience with you from Growing Kids Chesterton. We have attended for a year or more. My kids have attended daycare, after school care and summer camp here. We are definitely happy with the services and curriculum. Summer camp is very exciting for the kids because they do a lot of outdoor activities and field trips. My daughter’s daycare teacher teaches kids a little Spanish. May not seem like a lot, but some variability in their routine is positive and keeps my daughter interested. Overall, the staff are phenomenal. My kids will attend camp here and after school care until they age out. Also, the kids and I love all of the activities and events that Growing Kids Chesterton host. Overall, we have had a blast and look forward to both kids being in after school care.
