Growing Brains is a wonderful place. I highly recommend them. Sophia and the staff care and love the children immensely. The kids eat nutritious homemade meals. The children learn and have fun all at the same time. They really make everyone feel like family.
Evgenia Soldatos-MouzourisJul 25, 20255 Stars - Amazing Care at Growing Brains! We couldn’t be happier with the care our child receives at Growing Brains! The staff is incredibly attentive, nurturing, and dedicated to fostering a fun, safe, and educational environment. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed, and our little one settled in so quickly. The activities are well-thought-out, focusing on both creativity and early learning skills. We’ve seen such positive growth in our child’s social skills and confidence. Communication with the teachers is excellent—they truly care about every child’s individual needs. Highly recommend Growing Brains to any parent looking for a top-notch daycare!
Gio Continanza (Gio)Sep 22, 2024Finding the right daycare can be a journey and nerve wrecking. My husband and I feel we have found the right one for our 18 month old son at Growing Brains. The owner Sophia is loving, capable and genuinely cares for all the children. Her staff at the daycare follow her lead. When I leave my son at the daycare, I feel confident he's going to be well cared for and loved. This is tremendous for working parents.
Erica WongJul 19, 2024Been with them for over 6 years. Caring and supportive, we feel like part of the family.
