I have used this provider for more than 6 months
When moving my child from Craven to Pamlico I was looking for a respectable facility, that provides great child care. With friendly teachers and a child enthusiastic atmosphere. I found it at Learn as We Grow. Although you might miss it when driving by; once inside, the atmosphere is friendly and warm. The teachers love the kids and the kids love the Teachers. The staff are very parent friendly and genuine when speaking with you directly about any situation. The director is very kind and has a natural warmth about her that radiates to the children. The owner is a women that cares deeply for the kids and her staff. They ensure quality care and keep a very home like feel to a building full of love. I would recommend checking them out.
