Our Reviews
“Great preschool program, shoutout to the infant room teachers for having so much patience and love for their students. They really go the extra step to ensure safety and cleanliness. Thank you for all the hard work you ladies put in.”
Tatiana S.“10/10 I highly recommend. This beautiful, lovely, clean daycare is way better than the previous ones I've sent my child to. When I spoke with Mrs. Xiomara she assured me that my child would be in the right hands, and she has kept that commitment. This daycare is very special: the teachers are nice and they know how to teach my kid. My kid is improving with new things he does every day.”
Ajah G.“My son has been going to this preschool for the last year and I can honestly say the bridge of honesty and trust is immaculate. The directors are so sweet and the staff is kind. Thank you to my son's teachers Ms. Estefany and Ms. Miller for their dedication to ensuring my son's journey to learning is fun and safe.”

Diane R.“I love Growing Seeds Learning Academy. I have a very good experience with the teachers and leadership. My son started there at 9 months and I felt so comfortable and at peace. He's now 19 months and he always gives his teacher big hugs every morning when I drop him off. Thanks Growing Seeds, for the love.”
Emi E.“My daughter loves Growing Seeds Academy. It's been wonderful to see her actively engaging in cute sensory activities aimed at cultivating her intellectual development. Being an educator myself, I always worry about whether or not she is exploring her curiosity and being stimulated in a safe environment. Growing Seeds provides all these experiences in spades.”
