WATCH EM GROW CHILD CARE PRESCHOOL AB

Our kid has thrived at Watch ‘Em Grow, both socially & academically. More importantly, he is overall just happy, as are we! The amount of activities they do just make the whole experience that much more fun. The teachers are so kind to the kids & parents. We wouldn’t go anywhere else & neither should you!

My son has been attending this school since he was 3 months old and he is now 4 1/2 and he absolutely loves it. We adore his teachers and the Landis family. Miss Brenna has worked with us through any issues we have. She told me from the beginning to message her directly with any issues or concerns I have and she has always responded promptly and professionally. There is a core group of teachers here that have been there the entire time he has attended and they truly took the time to know him and engage him throughout the day. We are currently in the last week of all the fun summer activities and I want to say that I love how they take the summer months and offer so many different fun activities to mirror how a day camp would be. There may be an extra fee on some things but they also offer free activities like a weekly water day and movie days. They truly went above and beyond with things this summer, offering color me mine, farm days, camping days, and yoga just to name a few. They had a group from Indian echo caverns come in and let the kids "mine" for gems and had a group bring in alpacas for them to pet and feed. I was so worried when I had to go back to work and leave my son with people I didn't know but I'll say over the past few years I have become close to so many of them and I greatly appreciate knowing my son is not only well cared for but HAPPY and LOVED! There have been a few bumps in the road along the way but all issues have been addressed professionally and quickly and the staff never made me feel like I was 'that mom" but instead encouraged me to always reach out so they could help. At the end of the day I know without a doubt that the family and staff at Watch em Grow love my son and I love them for it.. I would truly be lost without them. Keep up the great work ladies! 💜

Edit: Nice one trying to push my comment down the line! These people only care about reviews and their self proclaimed great reputation that they are having staff give reviews. Desperate times, huh? The directors at this place are the worst kind of humans! My wife sent in a notice that our child will not be attending their center effective a later date in the future. This was a 3-week notice. They emailed her back in 8 minutes telling us today would be the last day. With that said, we emailed them many times with questions about our child throughout our time there with very long delays in response or no replies at all. They were so fast at responding to our notice that it is obvious they do not care about the children, just the money. Negative stars for them, but I would give 5 stars to the teachers. They were phenomenal! If you don’t care about communication and professionalism, give them a try. You will be pulling your children out quickly. Don’t even bother with a notice, it will backfire on you! Thanks for ruining our day and having to find a last minute sitter. And a huge thank you for not giving my child a chance to say goodbye to his favorite teacher! Have the life you deserve!

The day I had a scheduled tour I called around morning time JUST to confirm the time I was suppose to go… nobody ever returned my call so I figured I’d just show up at the time they first first told me which was 5:30pm. I show up, absolutely nobody… right before I was going to drive off it hit 5:30 EXACT, i see she pulls up.. I call in just to confirm I could go in and that I called earlier to double check the time but no one ever called me back, WHOEVER the lady was stated that it was her and that she “left a voicemail telling me it was for 5pm” (I was by my phone all day didn’t receive a thing!).. so she proceeds to say “I guess I can give you a tour really quick”. She asked if I have any questions before the tour…So I asked are early intervention therapist allowed? She said no supposedly because they need a designated spot for them which isn’t true. My daughters therapist informed me that they don’t even need a specific spot for the therapist and child that the therapist ACTUALLY works with the child in the class with everyone else! Anyways the next thing I mentioned is that my daughter is autistic and if that will be a problem? She said YES! We don’t take children that are special needs… so I can give you a tour but she can’t enroll… I'm just more upset that she thought that just because MY child is autistic that she required one on one care. That shows how ignorant this woman is. Autistic children don't necessarily need one on one. For example, my daughter wouldn’t need one on one. That was rude and it just shows that she doesn't know what she's talking about… the crazy part is that this woman knows exactly what she's talking about and she's just using that as an excuse to keep out children with special needs. Little does she know that they're delightful and incredibly smart! I know sometimes there are some kiddos that have very difficult behaviors, so maybe I shouldn't be so harsh on her. So whoever the lady is..if you are reading this please educate yourself about autistic children!! And have the day you deserve 😊

My husband and I absolutely LOVE Watch 'Em Grow. Our children have flourished there. The teachers there are so loving, nurturing and caring. The teachers communicate effectively daily, always have smiles on their faces and my children LOVE hugging them each morning and upon leaving each day. My 5 year old learns Spanish and knows more words than we do! Both of our girls tell us every day the things they learned and how much fun they have. We are so thankful for this center. Check them out - you'll be glad you did!! Thank you, Watch 'Em Grow!!! We adore you all!
