Description: The Growing Tree has been in business for over 30 years. We credit our success to the excellent staff, families, and children we have been privileged to serve. Our philosophy on childcare involves offering children our respect, our love, and our encouragement within a carefully supervised and stimulating environment. We believe this will allow them to become confident individuals. It is our GOAL to promote physical, emotional and intellectual development in each child, as is developmentally appropriate. We believe that a truly happy child will have a positive self-image and a feeling of self-worth and contentment.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
