I have used this provider for more than 6 months

This preschool has the one of the best programs around. My son has been going since he was an infant and he has developed so many friendships in the last 3 years. His loves his teacher and even asks about her after we are at home for the night! He knows his colors, shapes, numbers and letters and I have this facility to thank!! He loves the homemade lunches every day and talking to Mr. Chuck. This facility deserves 5 stars in every area!!!

This facility is not all that they portrayed it to be at first.
The daycare is full of yelling and screaming and under paid and extremely under qualified staff and owners.
I would not recommend waisting your time!!

My daughter attended this daycare for 6 years and I NEVER had any issues. As a working mom, it was very difficult for me to leave my child with anyone (especially when she was only 8 weeks old). The owner and staff, however, made my child feel like she was a part of their family rather than just a child that they received monthly tuition for. I visited MANY childcare facilities in the area and NONE of them gave me the warm,family feeling that I got when I first visited Watch Em Grow. The owner and her staff really love the children and it shows. I never once had to worry that my child would not be safe or not be taken care of while I was at work. That was a HUGE weight off of my shoulders. Additionally, the facility was always very clean and the lunches were homemade. The owner always made sure that the kids had great toys/resources and she treated the kids like they were her own (she would do anything for them). I watched her help out families in so many different circumstances. My daughter LOVED LOVED LOVED Watch Em Grow and is excited to be going back this summer. If I had to do it all over again, I would choose Watch Em Grow as the childcare provider for my child.

Our child has been attending this daycare facility for almost 2 years. She is now in the preschool classroom where we feel she is learning something new and exciting each day. I've never been to another daycare facility where there was so much artwork and projects displayed all throughout the center for each individual classroom. As a parent you always feel a little nervous or guilty leaving your child with a new daycare, wondering how they will adjust, will they like it as much as you as the parent did when you first visited it. It may have taken a few days for her to adjust at first, but she absolutely loves it. She's made so many friends, and still remains friends with her previous classmates and teachers from the other classroom. Each morning we are greeted by a friendly staff, and their facility is very clean. The owners put their hearts into that facility and it shows. You can see how much they love the children and how hard they work each day to make sure our children receive the best care, preparing them for their years to come in school. I've referred a friend there and I would refer anyone there.

My grandson was at this daycare for over 3 years. LOVED it. He learned so much, and was treated like one of their own children. Such a nice homey atmosphere and a great group of employees. They ate well (lots of homemade meals by the owner), super clean, and a great curriculum for learning. Never had any issues/complaints with this daycare and would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone who wants a loving childcare center for their children!!!

This center put all others to shame when I interviewed there 2 years ago. I was a first time mom and this place made me feel like family. The teachers went out of there way and still do for my son. My daughter was born in Feb and she wasn't so easy however if it wasnt for the owner giving me tips and guiding me with her I would have to say I would have lost my mind. I love the infant room being on a small side that Each baby got individual attention if needed. The center is always clean to a Tee. I have never seen any staff on there phones, I don't think k there isn't a time yet that I didn't get a big hearty hello or have a great night. My son did great when it came to bathroom times In fact he is completely potty trained. I would definitely check this place out if looking for daycare. It's a small great place. And I'm sure you will become part of there family as well!

The building was clean and updated and that is why I give it a 2. Everything else was shambles. The t.v. was often on and the young staff- as well as the owner- were on their cell phones or talking among themselves 90% of the time (this was at drop off and pick up times so I really wonder what was happening when not parents were around). The planned schedules and menus were generally not followed. Needless to say, don't expect to receive a list of the days activities at the end of the day. My child had an annual evaluation and I was sure they must have written the wrong name on the top because nothing was correct. I asked about the form and was told "don't worry about it. It's not something that's mandatory for us. We just do it to get accreditation." The fact that they did not know my child after 5 months spoke volumes for me!!! The final straw for me was when I asked the owner if she had seen my child's diaper rash. She got a strange tone and said "Ha. I don't look at your kids butt." What??!! Is that how you respond to a parent? My child was in the process of potty training and I could never figure out how many times  they used the potty - if at all- because no one could tell me... Don't take your child here. I never post on businesses but I feel it is my personal responsibility to speak up about this daycare. I wish someone would have warned me. I didn't realize how low I had let my standards get until I got out of there.
