  • I don't think words are enough for our gratitude towards the staff at Growing Footprints. Our son excelled with learning the world around him and meeting his first year milestones thanks to Miss Megan and Miss Leah in the infant room. They are so passionate about every little human that steps into their classroom. Once our son could walk... he was practically running to get to his class! Every baby gets the love and support every parent dreams of here. Growing Footprints is a hidden gem!

  • My daughter is in Toddler 1 with Miss Sarah and she is absolutely amazing. We love Growing Footprints and love the staff. 10/10 recommend this center for your little ones.

  • My wife and I were a little discouraged originally by the reviews here for growing footprints, but we have been extremely happy with the care that our two girls have received here. They are almost two and almost one and have both gone since they were 3 months old. Megan in the infant room is a god send and they are extremely lucky to have her. As our oldest has moved to the toddler 1 and now the toddler 2 rooms, she has continued to make new friends with the kids at the center and with the teacher. During drop off every teacher that walks by says hi to my toddler like they're her teacher. It feels like a very close-knit center, and everyone is so caring there. I would highly recommend!

  • My daughter attends here & absolutely loves coming to school. The teachers are so lovable and treat them like their very own. I would recommend this to anyone in this area, you won't be disappointed!! :)

  • I had been warned by other parents in the area of issues they had with the owner and quality of care their children were receiving. A few people had mentioned they removed their children and placed them in other centers due to ongoing issues with the Director, Teachers, and the cleanliness of the building, but I wanted to check it out anyways since it is one of the cheapest places around and there aren't many other centers in the area that offer infant care. Anyway, I like to do my research, especially when it comes to the care and well being of my children, so before my meeting I did a bit of searching and found that there have been many safety complaints filed against this site as well as a complaint to the Better Business Bureau and Attorney General! I didn't even bother showing up for my tour.

  • I would not recommend this center for early childcare or education. The phrase "you get what you pay for" comes to mind. It may have the cheapest rates in the area, but there's a reason for that. The teachers seem unfocused and unattached to the children and classrooms. The lesson plans sent out seem to have good intentions, however the quality of work we see sent home does not correlate.The rooms always seem to be a mess and in chaos while teachers can usually be found sitting. There has also been concern with the amount of teachers leaving. We have seen many different faces over the past 6 months or so and noticed that there have been a few teachers that came and went within only a matter of weeks. The center itself is dirty and not well maintained. The Director seems nice enough but when issues or concerns are brought to her attention there is either a very slow response or not one at all. I also have found policies referring to payments and center behaviors to be confusing and even strange at times. I would recommend looking elsewhere.
