The Growing Place Child Care Center

"I couldn't recommend a daycare more. My child started at 3 months and is now 14 months. He loves his teachers and is so excited when we get there every day. They are loving, nurturing, and understanding. They communicate well and all the staff are kind and inviting. They do a lot of neat activities and have great play areas for all ages. I am a first time parent and can't imagine sending my child any other place."

"My son has been going here for about a year & a half and they are nothing but awesome. Everyone is so friendly and I know my son is well taken care of. He also has a sever milk allergy and their excellent with that. He is 2 1/2 and can count to 15! They are always doing projects and learning. Couldn’t be happier to know while I’m working my son is having fun , learning and is safe."

"I really like this program my son is in pre k counts teachers are great good structure and extremely smart and my son absolutely loves coming here they truly care and that's a issue now a days between parents and teachers teachers can easily end up spending more time with our children so caring is the one most important thing we need!!! These teachers care"

"If I could give this place a ZERO I would. My child started in their chestnut hill location he loved it and they were AMAZING! My son never had an issue, I transferred him to their Stroudsburg location and it was downhill from there. I got called into a meeting due to my 3 year old "acting out' the director told me it was my fault because I worked full-time and I was a full-time student I needed to "make time" for my son. Fast forward a couple more weeks I got called into another meeting being told my son was showing outrageous behaviors I never seen in him. I was told he was hitting, kicking, biting, spiting, throwing chairs, and screaming at teachers, I was than told I needed to get him evaluated and get him a TSS and BSC or he could not continue there and they even gave me a deadline. Fast forward a few weeks, I missed an insane amount of work driving myself insane getting these services for my son and being called from this daycare to pick him up because "they couldn't hand his behavior". Finally get these services approved now waiting for someone to be able to come to the school I get a letter given to me by his classroom teacher no formal meeting, no explanation no nothing, and weeks before my "deadline". In this letter they tell me they are dismissing my son and he could not return without these helpers and even if he did get them he couldn't be there without them, so pretty much only 20 hours a week and I work 40. I pretty much laughed and returned to collect my son's belongings and then the manager of that location says to my son after me having to explain to a 3 year old he was pretty much kicked out his daycare she has the nerve to say "I'm sorry buddy we didn't want this for you, we care about you but you need some help". She is lucky I laughed my anger off. I find my son a new place still having these services because he still need help regardless, he is then dismissed from his services within 3 weeks because I was told by a PROFESSIONAL my son showed no signs of what this daycare was accusing him of and that my son was a NORMAL sweet 3 year old. I WAS LIVID this daycare made my son out to be a monster, excluded and secluded him as bad child. I wish my son was old enough to understand and tell me what was going on there that he acted out ONLY there and to such an extreme. I feel they were doing negative things to my son to cause his behavior. I recommend this place to NO ONE! Don't put your kids in the care of people who could do such terrible things."

"This place is AWESOME & others only wish they're as GREAT! Both kids LOVED it and never had one problem! I would say without a doubt that sending your child here is an amazing opportunity for them to learn and socialize!"
