Hi Jessica and team! I just wanted to share a quick note of thanks with you and the toddler teachers. Jeff and I were chatting last night about how already Rowan seems to be really enjoying his time at GG and benefiting from the environment and teachers. He comes home with more energy, is already showing excitement rather than neutrality or hesitation upon arrival, and overall seems to just be a happier kid!
We as parents have really appreciated the communication with the teachers and can tell they know about Rowan as an individual and his day, which means a lot. Their passion for what they do shows, and has helped him feel more connected and cared about, I have no doubt! We love the approach Ashleigh takes in the kiddos learning through their own exploration and play, and I can already see him being more independent and interested in new things.

What a great place to be a part of! I am the cook at the Hugo location and have been there since day one. It has been two years of fun , being made to feel like family and feeling appreciated.
I also have two grandchildren and a nice who are enrolled and love coming to the center everyday. The teachers and staff provide a friendly and loving atmosphere for the children where they can learn and grow. They are reliable, respectful, caring and fun loving, they are truly the Best!

So very happy with the care my precious son receives at Growing Generations! He is in the young infant room and absolutely loves it! I was fortunate enough to stay home with my son until he was 6 months old. We had enrolled him at a center where he attended for 3 days and I removed him due to several things I was not impressed with, including me seeing him crying alone on the floor the 3 days he attended. At GG he has been happier than ever! His teachers are absolutely fantastic, they listen to concerns, address and follow thru with concerns, and truly care for the children. This momma has horrible

Feel free to dismiss any negative reviews for Growing Generations you may read on here. This place sets the standard for great childcare. Their staff and programming are great. I have two kids enrolled here that love going every morning. Compare for yourself with any other center and you will see. Love this place!

We love coming to this center and trust the teachers whole heartedly. When another child in the program continuously had behavior issues they addressed these issues immediately even though the parents of that child did not take it seriously. They made sure our child was safe as well as the other children in the program. The preschool teachers love the kids so much and show it everyday when we drop off. They have a fantastic curriculum and keep the children engaged everyday. We highly recommend them.

Since your directors default e-mail is not set up on your webpage I will leave my email here for you.
Today on Oct. 23rd I walked into Isabella's daycare class to find her in the bathroom with the bottom half of the door shut. She was by herself fighting to get the wet pee soaked pants, underwear, socks and shoes off.(From her accident during nap time)
When I addressed my concerns of what I saw to the lady up at the front desk, which I come to find out is the director.. She simply said to me "Its good practice for the child, teaches them how to remove a wet swim suit for example." Also adding

HORRIBLE! They care about $$ not the children at ALL. The Director is unreal. Like a lot of other reviews, if you love your children, do them and yourself a favor. DO NOT SEND THEM TO THIS DAYCARE! Why am i taking the time to write a review?? My kids mean the absolute world to me, i am so saddened i ever sent my sweet angel there. The way she was treated, locked in a bathroom to fend for herself after having an accident at nap time. She is a human child, not a Lion at a Zoo. I am sad for all the current children who still attend this place. I am sure most of you parents (like me a week ago) have

We cant say enough great things about this daycare. My grandaughter has been home with me for her first year because of her severe food allergies. The teachers and Laura and Jessica have been so wonderful and gone out of there way to make sure she gets the right food and that she is taken care of.
My daughter says the teachers are so sweet and always make her feel comfortable leaving her. She is always full of smiles if the photos through out the day that they get and she seems to love going to school. As a grandma it feels so good to be able to see her is such a wonder place that truely cares

My son went here and was in the Pre-K room and I'm really upset! We ended up leaving because the owner didn't call back the coaches or extra help that we requested. Basically, they only want kids that don't cause trouble. This place is horrible and very mean to kids. My son is tough but that is how they are that age. Never did Jessica sit down with my wife and I to discuss the plan--just calls and constant calls during the week. WE ENDED up going to a totally different daycare center and it is night and day. Much more professional and they said my son is just fine. We sat down and talked about

It’s a disturbing trend when you hear repeatedly from other parents and teachers how neglectful and understaffed this place is. High teacher turnover and an unwillingness by the administration to coach their staff makes this a recipe for disaster for families looking for a safe place for their kids. Also most of the 5 star reviews on here are from fake accounts used to prop up their score...avoid this place if you really care about your kids safety.
