About the business
Growing Kids is a state licensed, accredited, and quality rated child care and preschool. We offer state of the art safety and security features designed into each center. Each building has only one entrance - monitored and locked (But there are lots of exits, in case of emergency). Playgrounds are fully enclosed with high fencing. And kids of different aged groups play in different areas. Each classroom is monitored by closed-circuit TV. All parents use a biometric-based sign-in and sign-out process. Many of our staff have an associate's or bachelor's degree in early childhood education, or are experienced professionals. Training includes CPR, first aid, child safety and much more. Children enjoy structure educational activities, provided by a team of highly qualified and motivated teachers. Each member of our staff works hard to help kids grow - intellectually, emotionally and socially. Low student-teacher ratio ensures that we're able to help each child explore and develop at his or her own pace.
The Creative Curriculum for Early Childhood offers stimulating learning opportunities for students of every age, starting at six weeks and through after-school aged. We have incorporated Minds in Motion into the daily curriculum. Minds in Motion is an obstacle course of activities that improve a child's balance, eye-hand coordination and visual skills, all of which play a huge part in a child's learning processes for school readiness. Growing Kids offers plenty of parent - focused convenience and flexibility. Many convenient locations throughout northern Indiana. Infant through school-aged care. Extended hours as early as 4:30 a.m. and as late as 11:30 p.m. weekdays. Plus, one FREE Saturday of child care each month! We close only six holidays. We also offer camps for Spring, Winter and Summer. And if you have a special scheduling problem, we'll do everything possible to accommodate your need. Each Growing Kids center is built from the ground up with one thing in mind: growing kids! Each classroom has child-sized sinks and bathrooms. Classroom layout virtually eliminates "blind spots." Special "parent view" windows allow you to observe activities. We have a Growing Kids exclusive which is a dramatic play area called Main Street. Our philosophy stresses hands-on learning through play, which is how kids learn. Main Street plays a key part in our educational program where children learn by role-playing, problem-solving, and social development.
