At our center, kindness and mindfulness are woven into every aspect of your child's day.

Our educators embody these core values, fostering a culture of compassion and awareness. They guide children in practicing these principles through interactive, daily activities such as:

These hands-on experiences not only enrich their day but also instill lifelong habits of mindfulness and kindness.

Reading and writing are crucial stepping stones on your child's journey to kindergarten.

Our teachers diligently prepare your child for kindergarten by enhancing their skills in letter and number recognition, writing, and basic comprehension. This includes following directions and socializing effectively with peers, ensuring they are well-prepared and confident for the next big step.

Parent Testimonials

"He can now write his name and spell words confidently..."

See Us Grow has been an incredible experience for our family. Finn has learned and grown so much thanks to the dedication of his teachers. He can now write his name and spell words confidently—and I know he’s just steps away from reading! What I love most is how warm and welcoming the staff are. It truly feels like we’re leaving him with an extension of our own family.

"I love how involved I feel in his daily learning journey..."

The teachers at See Us Grow have been incredible—always responsive, caring, and genuinely excited about my son’s milestones. I love how involved I feel in his daily learning journey. Even as an infant, he’s already gaining confidence and growing socially!
Micah N.

"Watching him confidently say 'bye babies' each day melts our hearts!"

It’s hard to believe how much Harry has grown since starting at See Us Grow at just 5 months old. The teachers have become like family, and the social and speech development he’s gained from circle time and peer interaction has been incredible. Watching him confidently say 'bye babies' each day melts our hearts!
Leigha S.

"My son has grown so much in just a short time..."

From day one, See Us Grow has felt like home. My son has grown so much in just a short time—his speech, communication, potty training, and eating habits have all improved tremendously. Drop-off has remained as positive as the very first day, and the peace of mind I feel knowing he’s in a warm, loving, and safe environment is priceless. The entire team at See Us Grow is kind, personable, and dedicated beyond words. We are so grateful to be part of their family!
Victoria M.

" He especially loves arts and crafts and puts so much care..."

Mikey started at See Us Grow when he was just 7 weeks old, and he’s thrived ever since. The care, structure, and friendships he’s developed have helped him grow in every way—from social and communication skills to amazing fine motor abilities. He especially loves arts and crafts and puts so much care into every detail!
Liz M.

"What I love most about See Us Grow is how genuinely happy my child is there..."

What I love most about See Us Grow is how genuinely happy my child is there—with his teachers, classmates, and friends! See Us Grow is far more than just a daycare—it’s a place where kids are truly learning every day. From ABCs and 123s to shapes, colors, and manners, my child is thriving. At a recent eye doctor appointment, he was able to identify shapes from a distance, and the doctor was so impressed—especially for a three-year-old! That’s all thanks to the incredible educators at See Us Grow.

"My girls always look forward to going to daycare each day!"

Our two girls have been at See Us Grow since they were 6 weeks old. It has always been nothing less than a smooth transition. Without fail each teacher, in each room has always treated our babies as if they were their own, and my girls always look forward to going to daycare each day! The staff at See Us Grow wholeheartedly makes their families and children their number one priority and with gratitude, I can confidently say that See Us Grow has truly become family.

"I pick them up and see nothing but smiles on their faces"

See Us Grow has exceeded our expectations as parents as to what a daycare facility should consist of.  Every morning, our girls love going to “school” to learn and play with their friends, and every afternoon I pick them up and see nothing but smiles on their faces.  They have formed close bonds with their teachers, and as a parent it’s so reassuring to know that when we are not around, my children feel comfortable with who they are with for the day.
Paige and Daniel Mickolyzck

"The staff is always friendly, encouraging and eager to help."

As a full time working mother, my kids have been in daycare since they were infants.  I have a 12 & 13 year old, but recently had a baby.  With my older kids, I had a fair share of bad experiences, so my criteria for the “perfect center” are very strict. The center is in a great location, making it easy to get to.  The classrooms are plenty large enough, including cribs for napping and tons of options for encouraging our infant daughter to sit up, work on upper body strength, rolling and leg strength.
