Recent parent reviews
My kids spent a big part of their early childhood at this daycare, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The staff created a safe, caring, and fun environment where my children felt comfortable and excited to go each day. They grew and learned so much while they were there, and it truly helped prepare them for school in every way. I’m so grateful for the love, guidance, and support they received. I highly recommend this daycare to any family looking for a place where their children can thrive.
Jamie HOct 13, 2025My boys have been have been going here for the past 4 years and I can say that that not only were they prepared for school but they love to go. The staff is great and its keeps my mind at ease knowing my boys are getting the best care from people I know care about my children.
Tj SchweizerAug 21, 2025Writing a review for Here We Grow Again almost feels unfair—because after more than 10 years with them, they aren’t just a daycare to us; they’re family. We first discovered Here We Grow Again in 2014 through a military child care subsidy program, and we’ve never looked back. What began as a practical decision quickly became one of the most important blessings in our parenting journey. Jo-Ann and her staff are the embodiment of what every parent hopes for in a caregiver: attentive, deeply caring, professional, flexible, and genuinely invested in every child’s development. This is not just a place where children are “watched”—this is a place where they are known, nurtured, and guided. From detailed daily reports when they were infants, to thoughtful conversations as they grew older—celebrating proud milestones and compassionately addressing areas for growth—Here We Grow Again has been a true partner in raising our children. If you're on the fence, I’ll say this plainly: You will not find a more devoted, trustworthy, or heart-centered team to entrust with your children. They have helped shape not just who my kids are, but the kind of parent I’ve become—and for that, I will be forever grateful.
Nancy PetersonAug 12, 2025My son has been apart of the Here We Grow again family since he was 8 weeks old, he’s now 7! To tell you I wouldn’t trust another provider with my child is an understatement. I trust the entire staff wholeheartedly and NEVER wonder if my child is ok while he is in their care. They are a huge reason my son is such an amazing, kind, SMART and loving child. If you work a “normal 9-5” and really think about it your child is at daycare as much if not more than they are at home with you and to have a piece of mind and not constantly wonder if your child is safe, or just staring at a screen to keep quite has never crossed my mind. Mrs Joann and her staff take the kids to the park, the zoo, the children’s museum all on their own dime. I have come to love the whole family so much I even had them at my wedding in 2022! I could go on and on about all the amazing qualities of not only the daycare but the staff that care for our children but I’d be here forever. HUGE Thank you to all of you!
Stacey SobelAug 11, 2025Our children have been attending this facility for over 10 years and we cannot say enough good things about the staff. They have taken the upmost care of our children and provided a safe and nuturing environment.
asa PetersonAug 11, 2025As someone who formerly attended this daycare there is not one bad thing I have to say. I created some of my most fond memories at this establishment. The staff was always extremely caring of each and every child’s well being. I have never felt unsafe or excluded by the staff or other kids. They teach the younger kids Pre-K curriculum and have engaging s.t.e.m activity and crafts for the older kids. They always help children with homework and always listen if somethings wrong. My experience here has truly helped me become the person I am today.
