I have used this provider for less than 6 months

Excellent childcare, the owner has been nothing short of professional since my son started there in January. He loves attending. In my experience the staff goes above and beyond to provide the best care. Very accommodating hours for parents that work later. My son has special needs, and we have had bad experiences with mainstream daycare centers where the staff doesn't have the patience, knowledge, or 1 on 1 attention to handle it. As We Grow has exceeded my expectations across the board. I wouldn't think to go anywhere else and I highly recommend this center to everyone!!!
