When choosing a preschool for our daughter Melanie at first it was daunting, but once we saw Growing patch it was an easy decision! especially transitioning her from being home all day with mom. The environment is so welcoming, group size is smaller so she is not overwhelmed. Teacher Sarah is amazing with the kiddos and a great communicator, we are so lucky to have her care for our daughter!
