"This place is a joke my infant got sick so many times because it was so cold in there the baby room was the coldest room in the whole place like thats so sad that the heat was never on the teachers are nice my oldest child would say mommy my food was cold I said what do u mean ur food is cold sowas not cooked all the way thur how can u feed the kids cold food. I would not tell anybody to go to any of these centers there not even good for a one start."

"Growing Minds Academy is amazing! The director and staff truly care for children that attend the daycare. The director listens to an concerns you may have and quickly addresses them."

"**Long Review** Where do I begin? First let me start off by saying as a first time parent my daycare experience has been by far the best! Growing Minds Academy has definitely proved that the stigma of daycares at a young age for children any children for this matter is wrong. 8mo ago I had a baby boy and our time bonding ended quickly. As a first time mom having to return back to work I was more than nervous when it came to the care of my son. I don't know many people in the area so private care or leaving him with a family member was not an option. I had a number of tours set up for different daycares but on this particular day while waiting to go tour a school in Dublin I passed this daycare. I instantly fell in LOVE. Their staff was very warm and inviting even though I did not schedule a tour with them and I dropped in they without any hesitation let me tour the daycare same day. I was extremely comfortable because I felt as if the tour was not rehearsed. Another advantage was that they had infant room availability! This daycare is nice it is really clean, decorated great, all of their furniture and appliances look brand new, the toys for the children are new and clean, I instantly knew this would be my baby boys home. Another advantage is that the price for a parent that doesn't get any subsidy is very affordable in my opinion compared to some of the other disgraces that want $300+a week. All in all I feel that this was the best place ever for my son. His social skills for an 8mo is incredible he has a very bubbly personality and are good with other people and I feel daycare plays a major role. They don't leave your child sitting in swings all day. On countless occasions I've come in and seen infants playing, tummy time, being read to, or just loved on and cuddled. If you ever have any minor issues the director Ladunne is great at addressing them quickly! She is also good at spotting potential issues that could be a medical concern. Ladunne also interacts with all the children so it is very rare you will see her in office with her door shut because she is helping everyone out as well. However I am so sad we had to recently leave this daycare because we relocated to NY. I will miss all their staff !! One of the teachers even bought my baby a going away gift :) I will always keep in touch and send pictures because I really loved this daycare and if my son comes to spends summers with his Aunt in Columbus we will deff see if GMA has space so he can spend part time days with his crew. Thank You Growing Minds Academy for the care of my son!!!!!!"

"This daycare has it all, they have a big gym and open rooms with plenty of space for kids to play in. They serve 3 meals including breakfast, lunch, and a snack. The staff is extremely welcome and the director is highly educated and organzined, if you ever need help with anything, find an employee and they will help you immediately. I highly recommend this daycare to anyone in the area, it's truly different than other daycares."
