Growing Me Learning Center

"My kids go to this daycare, and I cannot express how much I love and treasure Ms. Tracie and Mr. Terrence. My kids adore them! The joy I see on their faces the moment they walk in the door makes me feel at ease knowing they are in a safe and loving environment. My kids have flourished academically and socially since starting here. I am so glad they got to experience their younger years at the Growing me learning center "

"This writer, have the pleasure several times of visiting The Grow Me Learning Center at 3304 East Oakland Avenue , Oakland , Florida 34760. The entire environment displays a safety learning atmosphere for the population that they work with. All of the safety procedures were visible. No one can enter the learning center without permission from the administration and staff. Visitors and parents have to ring for someone to give entrance to the learning Center. Inside the Learning Center all of the employers were wearing a name tags and were very professional in their interactions with visitors and the parents. Parents are required to sign in their children and give a brief of their children emotional behaviors it was observed that each staff shows that special interest in the children physical appearance by wipe running nose or soiled faces before joining their respective groups. At mealtime there was individual assistance given to children who were having problems master the proper way of eating their meals or just refusing to eat. During the visits it was observed that there were positive interactions between the staff and parents in the mornings and pick up in the evenings especially in social skills and group interactions. Parents are asked about possible concerns that they might have and encourage to provide feedback about the care their children are getting at The Growing Me Learning Center. During group activities the staff provides quality wait time for the students who are having problem expressing his/her ideas or interacting with others. Complements and positive feedback was presented for effort or just trying. Each students were encourage to take part in hands on activities or fine motor skills activities and verbal communication was encouraged followed by positive reinforcement e.g., good job or sometimes a high five. During dismissal parents were verbally informed and given daily logs on student’s performance throughout the day. Staff asked the parents if they have any comments about their children's progress. I am a grandmother and a retiree from Orange County Public School and I would recommend The Growing Me Learning Center to parents. It is a learning Center that provides a solid foundation to its population"

"Ms. Tracie, Mr. Terrence and staff are absolutely amazing people! Our children have flourished since starting at Growing Me. It makes me sad that we will eventually have to part ways once they start kindergarten, but I am so glad they got to experience their early years here. Ms. Tracie has always kept me informed regarding my kids, good or bad; it is a safe and wonderful place! The boys wake up and go to sleep talking about the Growing Me."

"Our daughter has been attending Growing Me Learning Center since she was around 3 months old. She has felt completely at home since the beginning, and now bounces with excitement and giggles when we walk up the driveway to the facility. Mrs. Tracie, the director of the facility, cares deeply about her students and has always provided us updates on our daughter's development throughout her time there. We could not ask for a better experience for our child!"

"Our sons have been attending The Growing Me Learning Center since May 2020. The director, Tracey, is such a kind, loving, God fearing person. She truly cares for each child at the center and their families. The center is clean, rates are affordable and the days are flexible, but, most importantly, our kids are happy. When our oldest son moved on the kindergarten this fall, we were worried that his little brother would be scared or upset since they’ve always been at the same school. He wasn’t. In fact, it was the opposite. He looks forward to going to preschool and seeing his teachers and his friends. He comes home happy every day and tells us about all of the fun things he did in school. Miss Tracey has been so flexible and accommodating during this crazy pandemic. If our son isn’t there, she texts to check in on him. We are 100% happy and comfortable knowing that our son is being well cared for while also learning about God’s love, kindness and obtaining skills to help him prepare for elementary school. I would highly recommend Growing Me to anyone seeking a safe, loving place for your child!"
