Here We Grow Learning Center 6914 Colony Drive, Madison, WI 53717

"My oldest 2 kids have graduated through the 4k program and my youngest is currently in the 3 year old program. The staff is caring, understanding, helpful and will give you so much advice on anything. I would recommend Here We Grow in a heart beat."

"Here We Grow may seem like a safe and enjoyable place for children to spend their weekdays, but as a parent, you'll find it to be outrageously expensive. As a former employee, I can confidently assert that it's a dreadful work environment, rife with gossip, drama, and unsupportive management. The management's tendency to favoritism and lack of accountability results in the neglect of crucial issues, instead of tackling them head-on and managing the center effectively."

"In my attempt to schedule a tour with the manager, I found the experience to be frustrating. Initially, the manager mentioned being flexible on most weekdays, so I suggested Wednesday of a week. However, the manager said she would be on vacation for the entire week. I then proposed Friday of the earlier week, only to find out that her vacation actually will begin on that day. I understand you have plans but why bother promising people you are fairly flexible and turn their proposals down. It raises concerns about setting a good example to kids there. I won't consider sending my child there."

"I just saw the owner of the daycare mowing the lawn on a riding mower with a child in his lap. Daycare owner was wearing ear protection. Child has none. I presume (hope!) that this kid is a relative of the owner, and not a paying client. This shows a spectacular lack of judgement on his part, no matter who the kid is."

"Our kids have been at HWG for nearly 3 years and it has been great. Excellent teachers that our kids love, nice facilities, helpful staff. The meals and snacks are high quality and the menu varies quite a bit. The activities change from day to day and they seem to have a good balance between play, rest, and more structured learning activities."
