My wife had to move to South Bend for a 8 month period with our son (1 years old) while I had to stay in North Carolina with the military. Under these circumstances we were unable to visit the Day Care or be able to really search around. This would also be our sons first day care experience instead of spending all day with mom. Let me just say that they were extremely helpful on the phone/email and were very understanding of our situation from the start. The building is very secure and you are always greeted by someone at the front desk. They have a great system of ensuring only you (or someone you have verified) may pick up your child. They also have a great phone App to ask the parents questions or to share information to you about your child which is updated multiple times a day (i.e hes feeling sick, what he had ate that day, any sort of diaper changes etc). My wife was uneasy at first but after a short period of time she has grown to love this daycare. Within a week ALL the staff new my sons name and my wife. There are multiple teachers for each group of kids and my wife or I never felt like our son was neglected or not taken care of. They have a great scheduled with nap times, play time, fine motor skill time etc so you’re child is actually developing instead of just in a room with lots of toys. The teachers are committed and really are amazing caretakers. Our son started in the infant room and had moved to the toddler room which was a huge change for him but Growing kids eased him into it over a weeks time so he could get to know the other kids and teachers. Growing Kids has been nothing but the best for our son and my wife and I are very upset that we will have to be leaving here. We wish we could take this day care with us back to NC. I never leave reviews on places but this one is so deserving of 5 stars.
