We've had our son in a Place to Grow since he turned two, and we all absolutely love it. He has had a fantastic experience and we are excited to send our youngest there next year as well! Our son is a very active and energetic boy and sending him to APTG, where his energy is well received by teachers and he gets tons of outdoor play time, has been one of our best parenting decisions so far. We've had a great time connecting with all the teachers and Directors, and in terms of academics, we can easily tell that he will be ahead once he enters Kindergarten in public school. He is already reading, adding, subtracting, and has a great understanding of nature and the world. We also love that the school also places great attention on a diverse cultural development; in addition to Spanish classes, the kids often enjoy learning about different festivals from around the world (Chinese new year, Persian new year, Halloween, Day of the Death, Christmas, etc).
I could not be any happier with A Place to Grow. The moment I received a tour of the place, I knew this is where I wanted my son to go. He felt the vibe and started exploring the place. He’s been going there for almost a year now and we haven’t seen anything but kindness, care and love. Their curriculum is balanced with play and education, just what I’ve wanted. We’ve been treated like a family. Ms Flanda and Ms Kalin and all teachers have been truly wonderful and amazing.
We feel very fortunate to have found such a warm and wonderful Preschool! Experienced, caring and professional management ( Ms. Flanda & Ms. Kalin)!! Dedicated staff, combined with fun and educational classroom structure, has truly made a positive impact on our family!! Ms. Pam (Pamela) YOU ARE AN ANGEL ❤️ you are loving, kind, caring , thoughtful and passionate about children's development. You treat your students like your own! We couldn’t imagine our daughter going anywhere else! Thank you to all of the “ A place to grow” staff for an amazing time and experience you made for us!
I cannot say enough good things about APTG. My older daughter went here and now my younger daughter has been here for the past year. The staff are so caring and kind, and it really shows in how happy my kids are when I pick them up. They are patient with potty training, and have a gentle approach, which really helped my younger daughter. They celebrate lots of holidays and are so festive! I cried when my older daughter had her last day - she immediately went home and drew a beautiful picture of her teachers. I am so grateful to have found this amazing place. It just feels different here - it feels like family.
