Services
From your child's first day here at Grow & Learn Childcare, they will begin to learn and explore through our hands-on learning curriculum called "The Creative Curriculum". The creative curriculum is a Delaware STARS approved learning curriculum that helps children learn though the major developmental areas.
Our full-day infant/toddler program provides a nurturing and loving environment for your little ones! Infants are cared for using their own "individual schedules" in a group environment. We believe that each baby is different and accustomed to different schedules and daily routines. We work to bridge the gap between home and school to help better fit the needs of your baby and toddler!

Let me start by saying the teachers and directors are amazing! They are so loving and caring. My kids also have lifetime friends because of the center, which I'm grateful for. However, I do not agree with certain policies and how they handle certain situations. I sadly had to withdraw my 5 and 2 year old. I would not recommend for young children, not enough supervision, patience and teaching. They are still learning and the school is not set up to handle that developmental age. They also do not do kindergarten prep, which is a shame.

Have had my children going to the 196th Center periodically for the past 7 years and have always had a great experience with the staff and management. They've always had a great curriculum set up for my daughters. I owe it to Grow With Us on 196th for their dedication to my children and would recommend them to anyone seeking childcare needs. Again thank you.

Today while picking up my kids at CPE, a little girl was scared and confused who was her ride do to it being a half day. Instead of the driver trying to comfort her, get help or even let her know it was okay. She stands there arms crossed, smirking and laughing at this little girl that was in 1st grade at MOST. Finally a teacher asks what's wrong trying to comfort the little girl, and this women in charge or driving these kids is still standing there arms crossed trying to justify that this little girl was just trying to be a pain well laughing.. I wish I knew who the parents were to let them know

I have girls in the school age room. I love this center, Xanthie and Josephine are excellent teachers, my girls love them. One of my kids can be a little challenging and these two have gotten down to her and relate to her l, making her secure and comfortable. This has helped immensely with her behaviors. I am very pleased with the center and how the teachers relate to the kids, keep up the good work!

We love Grow with Us on 196th! The teachers and staff are always organized, kind and caring. My 6 year old son has been attending for over 2 years now, first for Pre-K and then for the summer program and after school care. ALL of his teachers have been wonderful and supportive and are loved by my son and family. The staff is almost all of the same people working there as when we first started. The teachers always communicate about how my son's day was and if there are ever any concerns. It has been obvious to me from the beginning that these ladies truly care about the children in their care.

My girls have been with Grow with us for 2 years now and they love it. The staff is great, and communicate with me, which is huge. My oldest loves her teacher miss aunty, she's great! She adores my girls and its nice to chat and get laughs together when she tells me about their day. All around a safe trustworthy center to bring your children.

Our son has been at Grow with us since the day after he turned 1, and he is now 4. We have had nothing but amazing experiences since. Our son has thrived under the care he receives at the 196th St. Grow With Us and he adores the teachers and staff. We too adore his teachers and especially the director, Maureen.

TERRIBLE! I only had my son in this daycare for 3 days before I pulled him out. His morning teacher was rude, she never said good mornig, never smiled, and always sat down not giving my son or any other kid the attention and care they needed. Her hygiene was quite distracting as well. He would come home with feces still on him because they did a terrible job at changing his diaper. Same thing when I would pick him up. The teachers are NEVER active with the kids. Ive only ever seen them sitting. I wish this daycare had a no star option.
