I seldom go online and rate any business but have been so please with Growing Room that I had to share. We have been going to Growing Room for almost 4 years (through 4 different classrooms). We started at the Fort Myers location for 2 months because the Bonita Springs location was full at the time. The transition to Bonita was extremely smooth. Both facilities have great administrative staff as well as teachers. The staff is always friendly, professional and personable. The teachers are always caring and friendly and my son has learned so much over the years. The facility is clean and well kept. The rooms are full of toys, art and decorations for any event/holiday. The curriculum is well planned with several events throughout the year. The food provided is fresh, healthy and full of variety. Love having the video access in case I miss my little one and always see him smiling. My son looks forward to going in each day and that shows how much Growing Room looks after his well being. We are going to miss this place when he starts grade school. I highly recommend this facility.

We had such an amazing experience with the Growing Room with our daughter. She was in the first infant room and the teachers in that classroom are so passionate about what they do and are so kind. They really made us feel comfortable with leaving her there everyday (our first baby...). She learned so much from them and would light up when we would drop her off. Thank you Growing Room!! **Highly recommend**

We absolutely love the Growing Room! Everyone there is so kind and loving. We tried a different daycare that was closer to home, but only lasted four days because we truly missed the people at the Growing Room. It brings such comfort to know that our little one is really loved and happy! They offer a live feed video through an app on your phone (or you can visit the website), which we enjoy because we are able to check in on him throughout the day. It is tough leaving your child, but we are totally at ease when leaving him here. I wouldn’t recommend any place else!!

Absolutely LOVE Growing Room for my 2 1/2 yr old. She has flourished so much over the past year, she can count to 15, she knows her full name, she counts to 10 in Spanish, knows all her colors, alphabet, shapes, animals, the list goes on and on !!! They are very hands on with everything, everyone is so friendly and makes you feel at home! Love the option of the watchmegrow app that lets you view your child's classroom and playground, gives parents a little peace at mind, specially for first time parents making the switch to daycare.

We've been so happy with the care and love our daughter has received at the growing room. The infant room teachers make sure your baby is treated like a family member. The toddler teachers are very loving, too. Our family has been going through some medical issues the past two years and we have truly appreciated our GRFM family's care and concern.

This place is absolutely wonderful.

I love everything about the Growing room 2 of my kids came up through there. 💜highly recommend.

I LOVE the Growing Room!!! They are fabulous and my son loves to go there everyday. He has learned so much. The staff are so amazing, friendly and really care about every child that attends! My son’s teachers love him like their own and it really shows! I also love the cameras so I can see my baby during the day! I 100% recommend this school! My son will be there from where he started at Infant 1 until Kindergarten! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

My name is Alika and I am a mother of 2 boys( 8 month old and 2.5 year old ). I searched long and hard to find a daycare that took in my kids with nothing short of love , family , cleanliness, and learning . I went to all Daycare’s in the area and had anxiety with each one until I walked in The Growing Room. It is an amazing place from the moment you walk in having a fun atmosphere and clean smell with friendly smiles. Both my children started in the Infant room. One of my little ones is now in infant B and the other is in K2B. From the moment we walk in at the front desk Miss Erica greets us with a big smile and an apple bar for my son ( my sons favorite) . She goes above and beyond every day to bring a smile on my toddler’a face . He is always excited to see her and gives her a hug . She also does not miss a beat and knows every child’s name that walks into those doors and greets everyone with a smile . My children’s teachers are amazing and have ALL been amazing in each class that we have gone through . ( infant A , infant B , k1A, k1B, k2a, and k2B) I can tell you each class has been a wonderful experience and each and every teacher that have touched our children’s lives have all grown to be family to us because they care for the children as if they were their own. They all have the patience of angels , unconditional love , and are all excellent role models /teachers . They not only learn their ABCs, colors, shapes, and numbers they also learn about right and wrong and do art work , sing , and most Importantly play . Not to mention they also teach sign language and Spanish .The children get to go outside two times a day and the playgrounds are covered and separated appropriately to age . The teachers make it fun for the children . They also offer breakfast , lunch and snack which is a perk and makes it less work for the moms and dads at home . My toddler loves his school and is always happy to go and see everyone at the school, which always make a drop off so much easier. All the teachers are comforting and welcome you to call anytime you want to check on your little ones . I can tell you as a working mom ( full time Physical Therapist ) that struggles with trying to balance work and mom life and not feel guilty having access to the cameras is another great perk. When I am missing my little ones I can tune in and check on them and get to see what they are doing and learning . I can watch my infant try to crawl and I can watch my toddler interact with his friends and teachers. It makes going to work easier and makes you feel part of their day. I could not imagine taking my kids to any other place . The Growing Room has always exceeded my expectations and I feel at ease knowing my kids will be safe , loved , and taken care of when I drop them off . I highly recommend the Growing Room of Fort Myers to any one in the area and wound not even second guess it . They are the BEST.

Hi everyone, my name is Stacy and I can’t stress enough how thankful I am to have found a place like the Growing Room. My son Liam who is 2 has been attending the Growing Room in Bonita Springs since November. We moved from NY in October and it was really hard finding a daycare we actually liked and trust. I can honestly say I go to work every morning and I know my son is in good hands. Since we’ve started here, we love the staff, the arts & crafts he comes home with everyday and most importantly the daily photos I receive of him in class. I love opening my email every afternoon and looking at everything he’s learned throughout the day, the activities, everything he ate or chose not to eat and how many times his diaper was changed. I definitely feel like the Growing Room has helped my son in various ways, he’s learned how to count in English and in Spanish, he’s learned the colors and he’s officially left his bottle for his sippy cup! I definitely recommend the Growing Room to other parents looking for childcare, I guarantee you won’t regret it! For us Growing Room way is more than just a daycare!!

Our almost 3 year old, Isabella, has been attending Growing Room since she was 14 months old! We had heard such great things about this place from family whose little ones attend/attended and haven't looked elsewhere since! We love how involved the staff is and how thorough they are in teaching. My husband and I are worry-warts so they are great with answering questions (even if we have a million) and making parents feel at ease. Although Isabella only attends 2 days a week, the development curriculum is definitely on point. At first I didn't think two days would make such a difference in her learning, but I was definitely mistaken! She learns so much every week, things that I may not have the patience to teach her, and is truly excited to be there, asking every week if she can go to "school". I would definitely recommend Growing Room to other parents looking for a dedicated daycare center!

Outstanding school with loving teachers, great playground, terrific director, serves great food, socializes our children.

There is no other place I would send my little ones besides The Growing Room of Fort Myers! I kept our boys home with me until they were 1 and 3, at which time I needed to go back to work full time. We researched several places and decided on The Growing Room. They have live feed cameras for the parents to log in to, to check on your kids throughout the day, which really helped ease my mind. The teachers and staff have all taken a real interest in nurturing our kids, while they are there, to learn and grow. They work with all the kids as a group and one on one. Most importantly, our boys Love their school and are excited to go everyday! They are now 3 and 5 and have grown intellectually and socially! They both know 'some' sign language and Spanish (although I don't, so the have been times I'll have to ask them what they are saying to each other), our oldest can read, write, perform addition and subtraction, they both can recognize and duplicate patterns, our 3 year old can write his alphabet and count to 35,...I could go on and on! Socially, they've made a ton of friends and are beyond prepared for kindergarten, which our oldest will start next school year. We couldn't be happier with The Growin Room of Ft Myers! We highly recommend them to anyone searching for more than a "day care", but rather a place your child can grow and develop the tools that will prepare him/her for life!

Our son has been going to growing room for almost 2 years and we love it! All of the teachers have been amazing! Miss Erika is the potty training master, I would have been lost without her! Miss Melissa is AMAZING! She is so caring and attentive to the needs of all of her students. All the teachers and office staff are great! Our newest little one is starting there in February and we know she’s going to be in good hands.

My eldest son started Growing Room Bonita Springs in the summer at age 4. This was his first time attending any childcare and had previously spent his days at home with me. He was apprehensive at first and often cried when I left him, but the caring and friendly nature of his teacher, Miss Yarelli, helped him overcome his fears and he has been thriving ever since. He is now in the VPK class with Miss Lupe and Miss Chantell and he loves going to preschool every day. I love that he is learning Spanish and sign language as part of the curriculum and the daily emails with an outline of what the children have been up to is a great way to stay connected. The classrooms are bright, clean and engaging and the entire facility is well maintained. I cannot speak highly enough of Growing Room and would recommend it to any parent looking for a fun, safe and encouraging environment for their children to grow both academically and socially.

My daughter Julianna has been attending Growing Room Bonita for the past three years. I honestly can't say enough about the wonderful director Ms. Jen, her front staff and the teachers. My little one is in VPK and is thriving. Ms. Lynn and Ms. Sabrina are fantastic. They have been wonderful with my daughters quirks and embrace my involvement in the classroom. The daycare is well maintained and the classroom ratio is awesome. I have never had a bad experience with anything. I am a social worker and my guard is always up when looking ay facilities and such. I feel such relief knowing my daughter is in great hands every day. I love how they are so involved with holiday parties, grandparents day, mother and fathers day and everything in between. My daughter attended two previous daycares before we found GRBS and I am so thankful we did. They actually care about your children and make it like another family. The cost of tuition is very reasonable with whats included. I loved their video system they offer. we love it and thank you so much for lovimg my daughter! c. reilly

The Growing Room has been a home away from home for my daughters. We will be sad to leave when my daughter graduates from VPK this year. There are 2 things every mom desires when dropping off their children, that they are safe and loved. And, the Growing Room has exceeded those expectations for for us for the past 4 years! The friendly front office staff welcome us with smiles, hugs (and, sometimes lollipops) 😉 every day. Ms. Marta is THE best! My oldest daughter was set up for success for entering kindergarten and was reading fluently near the end of VPK. Ms. Marta is patient and kind and understands, loves and academically challenges her students. Thank you all for all you do every day!

Could not express fully in words how happy I am that my children attend this school. I have a 4 year old daughter and a 2 year old daughter that attend. We have been going to Growing Room since my 4 year old was 2 and my 2 year old was an infant. Each teacher my children have had have loved my children as their own. They are thorough and communicative with their daily activities. My 4 year old can write her name/numbers, do basic math and is learning to read. She will excel when it comes time for Kindergarten next year. My 2 year old was slow to start walking; Growing Room encouraged and helped with her getting on her feet. (She's been non-stop since) ;) In addition to all the amazing things this school has done for my children, they also offer a "Parents Night Out" during the school year. For the cost of a babysitter, they will watch your kids on a Saturday evening from 6pm-11pm. The kids are entertained, fed, and asleep (usually) by the time we pick them up. I am also allowed for my 7 year old son to attend this "event". Having 3 kids, we have been to numerous daycares, from private to Christian-based, Growing Room by far exceeds the others. My kids ENJOY going to school (daycare). My 4 year old is always asking (even on Fridays) if "there is school tomorrow". She gets upset when I tell her it's the weekend. The school is clean, safe (locked doors, opened by fingerprints), friendly, communicative....the list goes on. Thanks Growing Room!

I started my son at the Growing Room during this past summer. He was almost 4 and it was his 1st time away from me. He loved his teacher Mrs. Margie. She was warm & welcoming. He had a tough time adjusting to naptime since he no longer took naps but other than that we loved everything. My son, who is now 4 and in VPK, with Mrs. Lupe & assistant Ms. Chantell. He looks forward to seeing them every day. I'm most impressed with all the Spanish words he is learning. He can say colors, the days of the week & months of the year in both English and Spanish. My son loves circle time. I enjoy all of the creative projects they complete daily. I also appreciate the almost daily photo I recieve of my son during his day. The office staff is pleasant & helpful. They know the children by name & always manage say good morning & have a nice day to every parent. I was VERY nervous about sending my son anywhere! The Growing Room has been a great start to my son's education & has helped to grow his social development. I would recommend Growing Room to anyone looking for full time, part time or even drop in child care.

It’s a great feeling when you know your child is in great hands! The love, attention and caring that goes on at Growing Room is absolutely incredible... I love every single teacher there. � Thank you always for such a great experience! �

El buen cuidado en los niños como en todos los detalles me gusta

I have been employed by the Growing Room in Bonita Springs Florida for four years. I relocated from New York to SWFL and began working at this adorable preschool. I absolutely love this job. The children and families I have met are incredible. It is such a happy,healthy, and safe environment for all. I highly recommend coming in for a tour if you are searching for a facility. The program is accredited and the curriculum is fantastic. The school is equipped with cameras for parents to monitor the child’s day. We also have an open door policy for families and encourage participation. The children enjoy breakfast, lunch and snacks from our fully equipped kitchen daily. I will continue to teach VPK until I retire because it is my passion. Please come take a tour soon.

My son love this place!!!! thanks you teachers!!!Thank you for making my son feel happy in this place

I just wanted to say thank you the Growing Room of Bonita Springs and to all of your staff! My son has come so far being a late bloomer at your school and he loves his days with his teachers along with all of the fun and educational activities😊 I love watching him when I get a moment to peak in on the cameras and he always seems to be doing great! So thank you again for your hard work at having a clean, safe, fun filled and amazing learning experience for my son!

So clean and VPK teachers are great!

The teachers and staff at Growing Room are fantastic. They treat the kids like their own! They have created a fun and safe environment for learning.

Growing Room Fort Myers- I want to take a moment to express how thankful I am to have a school/daycare that not only teaches my son to be the best little boy he can be, but a school with teachers who show so much love and kindness throughout the day. Being that my son was born a premie, he struggles with language and speaking in phrases. Because of the dedication at Growing Room, my son surprises me each day with new words and things he's learned- at only age two and a half! Thank you for taking the time to send me pictures throughout the day, and thank you for taking the time to plan and prepare daily activities to engage my son in things I cannot do at home! We can't wait for our little girl to join the Growing Room family in December!

I would highly recommend Growing Room Fort Myers to anyone looking for great day care. My children have attended for over two years now and we’ve been very happy the whole time. My girls run in to school every morning to see their teachers and teachers in other classes even. All the staff are very friendly and welcoming, the school is clean and well equipped. Any issues are addressed quickly and professionally, it is easy to approach teachers, administration staff and the directors. The children are very well cared for, their days are filled with learning and a lot of fun. The teachers pay attention to each child’s passions, interests and needs, my girls love to draw and color so every day I get handfuls of “art” to bring home! There are always special events, parades, parties, themed weeks etc. I feel we get excellent value for money, it is a wonderful, nurturing and happy place.

We have had our child here for 5 months and we find the environment to be clean, supportive and educational. The staff are conscientious and caring and the... more
