Powered by GoogleGrowing Kids is truly a premier daycare in northern Indiana. Both of my kids have attended Growing Kids and received not only exceptional care, but also exceptional Pre-K education the last 5 years. Miss Brenda, Miss Donna, Miss Kayla, Miss Tracy, Miss Jennie, Miss Jackie, Miss Lucia and Miss Shanti have all provided my kids with love and care; lifting a heavy burden (and guilt) off my shoulders for working outside the home. I also can't say enough positive things about the director, Miss Jody. She's very responsive, upbeat, personable and understanding. Thank you for supporting my family!
Let me tell you—my husband and I could not be more thrilled with Growing Kids on Campbell. A year ago, I would never have imagined writing a review like this. I was very ANTI-daycare. We toured a few places while I was pregnant, and I just had an uneasy feeling about all of them. We were fortunate that my brother and sister-in-law offered to watch our son when I returned to work, which was wonderful for a while, but with kids of their own, it became a lot to ask. Reluctantly, I started searching for daycare again… and then we discovered this location. Miss Jody gave us a fantastic tour, and we were excited almost immediately. She is the warmest, most genuinely bubbly person, and as we walked through the halls, every child lit up when they saw her. My husband and I looked at each other like, “Okay—THAT is an excellent sign!” And truly, our excitement has not wavered since that day. Since starting daycare, we’ve felt complete confidence knowing our son is in the best hands and in a nurturing, developmentally rich environment. The staff is absolutely wonderful—Miss Lucia, Miss Shanti, Miss Mary, Miss Sue, Miss Hana—and I’m sure the many others we’ll get to know over the coming years are just as incredible. We feel beyond lucky to be part of this community and so grateful to have found a place that feels like family.
Growing Kids has been an amazing experience for my family. The building is great, but it’s the people who truly make it special. Miss Sue, Miss Hana, Miss Jody, Miss Lucia, Miss Mary, and Miss Shanti have been nothing short of outstanding. Their care and dedication mean the world to us, and the place just wouldn’t be what it is without them.
Growing Kids is a fantastic early learning center and daycare! From the moment you walk in, Ms Jodi, Ms Shanti, Ms Mary and Ms Lucia always offer a warm welcome and you feel the energy that spreads around the whole building and every room. Our son’s speech and learning has exploded with Ms Donna and Ms Kayla. He is constantly talking about them when we’re at home. They are incredibly conscious of his development and areas they are working on, alongside us at home. Our Pre-K daughter came to Growing Kids over the summer while her school was on break and she never wanted to leave. Ms Kim, Ms Waffa and the entire pre-K team Do a fantastic job in their educational and academic development. Our daughter asks everyday to be picked up early from her school to be sure she can see her Growing Kids teachers and is always welcomed with hugs from them and her summer friends. Couldn’t recommend Growing Kids on Campbell more as it’s become part of our entire family.
We have been so pleased with the care our kids have received here. Ms. Teresa has so much compassion and connects so well with the infants. Ms. Danielle is so patient and teaches the toddlers so much. Ms. Amelia was great with the older toddlers and is so patient with potty training. Ms. Angela is a wonderful leader. My older child was so prepared academically but also learned a lot emotionally. I know my younger one is in the best hands! They both loved being there, and I can’t imagine them receiving better care.
