Highest recommendation possible for Growing Tree! Over our years as parents, the teachers have become like our extended family. They have consistently provided loving, responsive, thoughtful care to both of my children. My son has attended since he was 9 months old (he's now 4), and my 1-year-old daughter has also attended for the past six months. Brenda, who runs the center, is a master--she keeps regular communication, plans fun, seasonal events with the kids, and runs a developmentally appropriate, enriching space every day. She's gotten us through difficult times (second child, separation anxiety), and Teachers Kit and Peggy are WONDERFUL. We've also made some good family friends through being members of the little Growing Tree community.
