Services
We set your child up with the best footing possible, so they can leap into kindergarten and pave the way for the years of academic success that await. Our room designs are child-centric, colorful, and uplifting, so your child can feel welcome, inspired, and stimulated. The Center is a haven, and with limited access and rigorous screening of staff, families can count on safety as a priority.
Our loving, qualified staff will shower your infant with plenty of cuddles, attention, guidance and affection to help them bridge the gap of being away from the comforts of home and their parents throughout the day. Each baby is assigned a primary caregiver in order to ensure proper nurturing and bonding throughout each moment they spend at the Growing Room.
Our small instructor to toddler ratios means that your little one will receive as much love, attention and guidance as they require in order to thrive. Coming to the Growing Room will be a joy for them each day with our tailor-made, colorful facilities that are designed to resemble a small town with shops and streets.
Our STEAM Curriculum and Creative Curriculum blend places a focus on exposing your little one to science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics in exciting and creative ways. We introduce a new letter, number, word, color, theme, concept and skill each week while teaching toddlers the very beginning of pre-reading and writing abilities.
The most important learning in the brain happens by the age of five. Our VPK program promotes a love of education in children by using a STEAM and the Creative Curriculum, and by focusing on weekly themes to explore a new topic through letters, colors, numbers, and science. This allows your child to be as prepared as possible for their entry to kindergarten, especially in the areas of literacy, pre-math, and social skills.

They have taken such great care of my son. They offer additional classes of sorts. The growing room has also taken in speech therapists and my son has grown so much in his speech since! We have broken communication barriers. My son loves his teachers mrs liz and mrs otelia. And mrs connie in the mornings! The growing room keeps tabs on everything and sends out daily email reports of what they learn and do throughout the day. We highly recommend them to anyone in need of an amazing and above and beyond daycare!

We absolutely love the Growing Room! Everyone there is so kind and loving. We tried a different daycare that was closer to home, but only lasted four days because we truly missed the people at the Growing Room. It brings such comfort to know that our little one is really loved and happy! They offer a live feed video through an app on your phone (or you can visit the website), which we enjoy because we are able to check in on him throughout the day. It is tough leaving your child, but we are totally at ease when leaving him here. I wouldn’t recommend any place else!!

After being a stay at home mom for 2 years with my daughter and searching for the perfect day care, I discovered The Growing Room. With VPK now approaching I have nothing but praise for this school for the past 3 years! My daughter has learned so much that she impresses everyone we meet and is definitely ready for kindergarten. The teachers, the administration- everyone is always pleasant and willing to do what is best for your child. I highly recommended The Growing Room and I am going to truly miss them next year.

Absolutely LOVE Growing Room for my 2 1/2 yr old. She has flourished so much over the past year, she can count to 15, she knows her full name, she counts to 10 in Spanish, knows all her colors, alphabet, shapes, animals, the list goes on and on !!! They are very hands on with everything, everyone is so friendly and makes you feel at home! Love the option of the watchmegrow app that lets you view your child's classroom and playground, gives parents a little peace at mind, specially for first time parents making the switch to daycare.

We had such an amazing experience with the Growing Room with our daughter. She was in the first infant room and the teachers in that classroom are so passionate about what they do and are so kind. They really made us feel comfortable with leaving her there everyday (our first baby...). She learned so much from them and would light up when we would drop her off. Thank you Growing Room!! **Highly recommend**

Could not express fully in words how happy I am that my children attend this school. I have a 4 year old daughter and a 2 year old daughter that attend. We have been going to Growing Room since my 4 year old was 2 and my 2 year old was an infant. Each teacher my children have had have loved my children as their own. They are thorough and communicative with their daily activities. My 4 year old can write her name/numbers, do basic math and is learning to read. She will excel when it comes time for Kindergarten next year. My 2 year old was slow to start walking; Growing Room encouraged and helped

I have two boys and both have attended the growing room. My oldest is in 1st grade and he still talks about Mrs Marisol. My youngest is now in Mrs Marisol’s VPK class and he is very happy and learning so much. We have enjoyed our time with the growing room. We are definitely going to miss the incredible staff, my entire family loves everyone there they have made us feel so welcome. I would definitely recomend this school to anyone looking for a good loving learning environment.

I would highly recommend Growing Room Fort Myers to anyone looking for great day care. My children have attended for over two years now and we’ve been very happy the whole time. My girls run in to school every morning to see their teachers and teachers in other classes even. All the staff are very friendly and welcoming, the school is clean and well equipped. Any issues are addressed quickly and professionally, it is easy to approach teachers, administration staff and the directors. The children are very well cared for, their days are filled with learning and a lot of fun. The teachers pay attention

I started Growing Room Fort Myers 4 years ago when my son was 3 and he continued onto the VPK program. He is now 7 years old in 1st grade and is doing excellent in his new school. To this day he still talks about how much his VPK teacher (Ms. Marta)taught him and says how much he misses it there. His new school has a VPK program that my daughter could of attended, but we decided to keep her in Growing Room, as she saw what my son learned and was very excited to attend the VPK program. She has been here since she was 2 as well and now at 5 in the VPK program currently, she has already learned so
