Daily enrichments including specialized music instruction, art, and community experiences in-house
Your child experiences specialized music instruction, art, and community enrichment with in-class visitors such as fire fighters, a dental hygienist and a magician. Children should all experience this level of enrichment at an affordable price, and their enrichments come with tuition.
Daily parent communications with an app that parents love
Experience your child’s day at your fingertips with a mobile parent communication app, Tadpoles©. Parents use the app to stay in touch, receive photos and videos, and enhance peace of mind. Stay connected, check in with the teacher, and get updates on your child’s eating and sleeping habits. Pictures and videos of them learning and playing bring a smile to your face throughout your day.
A place where kindness is a Part Of Your Child's Day
Two of our school’s core values are mindfulness and kindness. Teachers model these values, maintain the culture of the school, and show children how to practice them within the classroom.
Examples of hands-on activities where mindfulness and kindness are practiced daily are:
- Arts & Crafts
- Outdoor Play
Reading and writing jumpstarts your child's Kindergarten path
Teachers make sure your child is ready for Kindergarten through assessing lettering, number recognition, writing skills, and basic comprehension such as following directions and interacting well with others, ensuring that your child is fully equipped and ready for Kindergarten.

PARENT TEsTIMONIALS
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.
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.
