Description: At the Growing Garden, our philosophy is to provide children with a safe, loving and learning environment. We believe once a child is provided this environment, they have the ability to build on all areas of development to include their social, emotional, academic and physical growth. The possibilities are endless when a child builds on their confidence and is willing to take risks and that is our goal. Our motto is "no two flowers bloom the same way" and we cater our program so every child can reach their full potential. Come let your child "grow in our garden."
Established in 1976, we have a reputation that covers a 35-year tradition in childcare with the same ownership, the Trasmundi Family. Mary Ann is the owner and her two daughters, Mary Lynn and Kim, run the programs currently. We are both working moms with plenty of experience dealing with the needs of children and families.
We pride ourselves with quality staff and very low turnover. As a family-run business, we provide a working atmosphere that promotes and values our staff which in turn provides for your children. We meet the qualifications of all licensed preschool programs in the State of New Jersey to include training and screening of all our staff. We look forward to meeting you and making you part of our extended family.
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.
