Our family’s experience with Growing Up Giggles was very special! Kim and her family-based daycare took care of our son very well for over a year and a half and made sure all of his needs were met. Kim and staff have always been so caring and warm to our son and have taught him so much. It has been such a positive experience to watch our son grow from infant to toddler in the care of G.U.G. It was very emotional to say goodbye as they had become our son’s home away from home! I recommend Growing Up Giggles to any family looking for trustworthy, top quality care for their child. Thank you Kim and family for such an amazing daycare experience!!!
Gabriella RifinoJun 19, 2025Kim and the entire daycare have been nothing short of amazing with our daughter. This was her first day care experience. Through Kim's patience, observation and exceptional care, our baby girl got to love and enjoy the environment. In just a couple of weeks, she became attached to Kim and felt comfortable enough to eat (very well!), interact with others and take part in play time. They are very careful, kind and the space is clean and organized. Despite being busy, Kim went out of her way to keep us updated throughout the day and make sure our daughter receives close attention during her transition period. It kept us at ease and make us feel that we could fully trust them. It's with a truly heavy heart that we have to switch due to incompatibility of schedule with other activities. Nonetheless, I highly recommend Growing Up Giggles if you are looking for a quality childcare.
Elodie HerelleOct 23, 2023Wonderful home based daycare with loving & caring staffs. Our children went there total of 7 years and they loved being there- we are very appreciative of all the care and support they provided. The place is always clean and well organized. The owner and staffs do above and beyond to provide children safe and supportive environment that they can flourish in.
Hiroko NishimuraSep 20, 2023Both of my girls started there when they were 6 months old. My older one has graduated GUG but they still take her when the public school is closed. They're more than a daycare. They're also our caring neighbors. My LO is eager to go to GUG every morning. They provide fresh hot meals. They keep the space clean. They have outdoor space and know how to make things fun for the kids. Just overall a dependable and caring daycare that we can trust and rely on.
Jane DuongMar 7, 2023We had our son in GUG from 3 months to 2.5 years before we moved away. We loved every moment of being there. Home cooked meals, caring care takers, activities and a backyard for playing. If you are looking for affordable and high quality care for your kid this is the place! We miss GUG so much.
Nellie LaskowAug 3, 2021I had toured Growing Up Giggles when I was 6 months pregnant with my first child. Sam and Kim took their time with me and my husband in answering our 101 questions. The facility itself was spotless, renovated, and organized. I knew that we needed to put our son in GUG. We were put on the wait-list and I would follow up every few months to inquiry about an opening. Finally, there was an opening and we enrolled our 1 year old. I have to say that they cared for my son like he was one of their own. I felt that he was in a safe and loving environment where he could learn and be himself. We recently moved out of state and had to put our son in another facility. I wish that Sam and Kim opened another daycare near us because we have yet to find a daycare with the same level of professionalism, responsiveness, organization, and care that they have shown us. If you need childcare, I highly recommend GUG!!
