This place is AMAZING. I had my son in the infant room and Ms Norma and Ms Blanca treated him like their own. This place is pristine and I am so sad to leave.

We had a really bad experience with GRBS with my (at that time) almost 3 YO. They don’t care about normal feelings from kids that age. My son was scary at the beginning (normal thing after been at home with me all the time), they were unable to address his feelings, they just leave him alone crying or being sad with nobody comforting him, even when we asked multiple times to do so, and their answer was always that they were (but we were watching on cámaras they weren’t at any time), they just don’t care. We also watched the teacher been super rude not only with my son but with other kids too, my son had nightmares when he had to go there and still cry when he talked about that “school”. He was super sad and angry the hole month he attended there. Now I can compare because he started a new school and he is super happy there. We complained about the teacher and I know she is still there, I just hope he is not treating kids like that anymore. I also didn’t see my kids doing anything but eating sleeping and peeing there. They only care about that. They say they have computers music and other things but never did anything like that. I thought because the cámaras the teachers were going to be super lovely and kinds but they just don’t care.

I am beyond disappointed and frankly shocked at the LACK of professionalism and care of the wellbeing of kids at this day care. They are obviously understaffed. They are supposed to be “ the growing room” but have no interest in the wellbeing or growth of the kids. They are not able to handle behaviors of a NORMAL toddler who is brand new to daycare in the FIRST few DAYS of admission. They offer NO solutions except to say they are understaffed. The staff do not introduce themselves and have not a minute to spare you and no proper instructions are given at start except an email. The director at this center lacks basic communication skills and professionalism and starts the first ever conversation at pick up on the 2ND day in front of a bunch of other parents, without introducing herself and offers only a solution of “ refunding the registration fee”. They are NOT invested in your child and run on the premise of the expectation of PERFECTLY behaved toddlers. Not even a trial of two weeks is offered. Apparently my daughter tried to run out the classroom... why are the doors so easy to open and run out of? She had a meltdown after staying hungry all day.... shouldn’t you FIGURE out the REASON for this expression of feelings?? Do you care she did not EAT ? Shouldn’t a daycare facility have the BASIC capability and skills and empathy to try to help and find solutions other than “ she would be better suited else where??” I have been to a wonderful prior daycare but we moved. I have since found a warm and loving and nurturing place for my child. this place was the opposite of nurturing and warm. It was absolutely COLD and hollow. I would NOT recommend this place to anyone!

My son currently attends Growing Room Bonita Springs and we couldnt be happier! From the enrollment to his day to day he just loves going to school. My older daughters attended Growing Room 8 years ago and we just knew from the most amazing past experience that it would be the perfect setting for our son! He was born premature and he started Growing Room this year (2020) we were very concerned with putting him in school but we have had a great experience at this school! It is super clean, the staff is wonderful, his teacher is amazing and super attentive! I love the app with the pictures we receive all day and we absolutely love the live cameras! We an watch him from anywhere! Even when he is playing outside! Cant say enough fabulous things about this school!

We have had our 2 year old at the Growing Room in Bonita Springs for almost 6 months now. We have been very happy with it. More importantly, our daughter loves it. It was an especially hard time to pick a daycare because we could not tour or go in the majority of them right now because of covid. We love that they have the camera option to check in on your kids. The teachers always seem very involved. My daughter does hands on learning activities daily and the staff has been very friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend to any of my friends with children.

Both of my daughters have attended this school, my youngest for day care starting in the twos, my eldest did VPK. Our experiences have been very uneventful (which is a win for me!) and my girls absolutely love it. Ms. Jenn has been wonderful about always tending to any needs or concerns that I have without hesitation. Ms. Jessica and Ms. Amanda are always very responsive and eager to be of any assistance that I need. Aside from that, the building is always very clean, the kids always seem very happy, and my daughters love to be there!

I cant say enough great things about Growing Rooml! Theyve taken care of our boys since they were infants to now toddlers, and theyve learned so much. The staff and teachers are so wonderful and helpful!! I am so thankful for all that they do 😊

Our experience at Growing Room Bonita Springs has been exceptional. We have been there since 2018. The daycare remained open and steadfastly reliable when other daycares were shut down to the COVID19 lockdowns. My two children happily enter the building everyday gleefully ready to begin their day. I feel it is a safe, clean environment when they receive structure, discipline, intellectual and social stimulation and affection from teachers and staff.

My daughter loves all the staff and going to school here! Felt welcomed from the very first day!

Our son has been attending growing room for almost 2 years and we have enjoyed every classroom and teacher. Miss Erika is the potty training master! Miss Melissa is an amazing teacher! All the teachers and staff know our son and always greet him by name. This is so much more than just a daycare, our son is learning so much and we often have people comment on how personable he is and his speech. We definitely thank Growing Room for helping in his development. Our newest little one will be starting in february and we have no doubt she will love it!

I had my daughter at Growing Room for almost 6 months and decided to move her for a couple of reasons (12-18 months group). First of all I want to start off saying that the teachers are really sweet and took great care of my daughter. The reason why I moved her and only gives three stars are following: 1. The room smells so much poop. It felt horrible knowing that she was eating and sleeping in a room that smelled so bad. 2. The room is a decent size but they divide the kids in smaller groups and keep them in different corners in the room during playtime which makes it really small. 3. They had way too many parties with sweets. I dont give my daughter any candy and very little of other bakery goods, and here I just couldnt get her away from it. 4. My daughter has egg allergy and when there was food with eggs in it, she just simply didnt get it, they didnt replace it with anything else. Which I think should be included for the pretty expensive price tag 5. The actual room wasnt very clean and there was a lot of kids, and they were all sick. She was constantly home for something. Since I changed her day care she havent been sick a single time.When I told we were changing daycare I didnt get a single question why, I thought this was really weird. It is a very pretty looking building and I do like the people working there. Its not a horrible experience, but theres a few things that could be improved.

The Growing Room is a fantastic daycare and preschool. Our son attended from two years old through VPK and I just cant say enough positive things about them. His experience there put him ahead of the game both academically and socially. The facility so bright and cheerful, and you truly get a sense that the staff and teachers fully understanding the awesome responsibility of making your child feel cared for. As a both a teacher and mom of a child with special needs, I highly recommend the Growing Room. Thank you to the teachers and staff who made our first school experience such a positive one!

This s hook is amazing I work here now! I worked here previously and also at the fort Myers location. Ms Jenn is an awesome boss I love going to work to see the kids. The kids will run up to me to say good morning when I come in! My co worker ms Adriana is cool as well I would highly recommend both location

The staff is really nice. The director is has her heart in the right place. However the place is baby factory. The toddler room (our daughter is 1.5 years) smells like feces all the time. They cram the kids into small spots of the room to make them more manageable for the teachers instead of letting them have all the room available. From the day we took her there, she got sick and stayed sick the whole time. They spend just a few minutes outside and the home made food is often from a can. We switched to smaller day care with less kids in her class. She spends more time outside, eats actually scratch made food and hasnt been sick at all since she got over her Growing Room germs.I dont write reviews, but I got an email from them asking me for my input. Thumbs up or thumbs down? I clicked on thumbs down, it took me to a link to their website, no spot to leave a review or feedback. Then I went back and clicked thumbs up and it took me here. I find that to be a despicable way to try and game the digital system we live in. Parents should know the truth and if you ask for a review be prepared to get one, not just the good ones cause that is all you direct to leave a review.

Both of my children attended the Bonita Springs location from 2014-2017 & let me just say during they’re time attending this daycare it has been an absolute pleasure, being a part of the Growing Room Family is a tremendous advantage. Hands down for me personally it’s the best daycare I’ve had my kids in and worked with. Amazing staff, great curriculum, fun events, great food, and well put together schedules. Couldn’t ask for more. Thank you for being one of the best Daycare’s that myself and my children have personally experienced all around👏🏻💕

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!

Growing Room has been a wonderful center for my son. I decided to change his school from the place that he had been at the 3 years prior because it was not a challenging enough environment. Growing Room has exceeded my expectations. The curriculum is challenging, the teachers are kind, and the administration has been incredibly supportive through some initial behavioral challenges. They are very responsive and communicative, and they all helped to make the transition an overwhelmingly positive one.The building is very secure, meals and snacks are provided, the curriculum is always posted so that you can know what your kids are doing each week and reinforce at home, the parent-teacher conferences offer a forum to discuss your child’s progress although anytime I needed to talk at drop off or pick up, the teachers made time for me. I will be very sad to be leaving the GR family as my son starts kindergarten next month.

Ive been a teacher at the Bonita springs location for almost 5 years. The new administrators are super awesome and very fair with staff, parents and children. The director is not only wonderful with all her staff but loves each and every child like they are her family! I wake up every morning excited to go to work, just so I can see everyones smiling faces. 😊😁 I am so happy to be a part of this wonderful school and help shape the little minds that will someday be our future.

My child loved being a part of his class, throughout his time here everyone was so kind and welcoming, the staff always were very professional. I can say because of The Growing Room my son was ready for kindergarten, he was reading and writing by the end of his time there. The foundation in his education was set up for success. I can’t thank you enough. I have recommended the growing room to all my friends and family who are looking for child care or where to enroll their child for the VPK Program.

Its a great school.

I worked here for a month just to be disrespected by both the kids and teachers. I had kids cuss at me, tell me they were not going to listen to me and that they will do whatever they want. Numerous times I tried to get the directors and co directors help and all they did was baby the children even more letting them know it was basically okay to disrespect the teachers. I was told it was okay to leave an hour early because of a very stressful situation I was put in once again than while on my way home was fired for absolutely no reason. I take pride in my job specially when working with children. Before moving to Florida I was a caregiver and my individual still calls me to this day because she misses me and thinks highly of me. This place was just outright a joke. Will not be reccomending for child care or a job to anyone.. They fired me yet still have a teacher their that serves the children food with no gloves and is super rude to the children they are afraid of her.. Some told me.. This place is a shame.

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 havent looked elsewhere since! We love how involved the staff is and how thorough they are. My husband and I are worry-warts so they are great with answering questions and making parents feel at ease. Although Isabella only attends 2 days a week, the development curriculum is definitely on point. At first I didnt 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!

My daughter attends the Vpk program here and she loves it ! Her teachers are so amazing and kind ! The Directors are very friendly and helpful and always have a smiling face. I definitely recommend this center !

I enrolled my infant at Growing Room Bonita well in advance of my maternity leave completion as most daycare centers in the area are wait-listed. Unfortunately, my familys situation changed drastically one month prior to our projected start date at Growing Room Bonita, making it nearly impossible for us to attend daycare at this location. Upon realizing that this would not work for my family, I immediately contacted the center to plead my case hoping to get my deposit (one months tuition) refunded. I was not even able to speak to the director of the center personally and was told that it is a hard no. It is completely disheartening that the staff here are more concerned with profit than meeting the needs of families. I would expect more of a personal touch and a caring attitude coming from what is supposed to be a family oriented facility. This goes beyond a simple refund, it demonstrates an inability for the company to see a human being as a human being. They put up a good front on their tours, but the root of their values has been made clear. Unfortunately, they fail to see the needs of families walking through the doors, and instead they only see dollar signs. Finding the right daycare center for your child is already a stressful process and I would hate for this to happen to another family.

The school very good. My child loves his teachers and see alot of growth in him from the school. The faculty is amazing and the school is very clean.

I enrolled my 4 year old in VPK and it has been awesome. He loves his teachers and he is already starting to read simple words. Teachers are friendly and Professional.Aide

My daughter has been attending Growing Room Bonita for 3 years. I cant say enough about the teachers and front desk staff. My daughter absolutely loves her VPK classroom and is thriving. The teachers have been very receptive to my involvement as a parent and outside support my daughter recieves. I love that the contract with Yoga, dance and soccer which allows her my little one to be very involved. I would recommend this daycare to anyone! My daughter wouldnt be where she is today without the love and care shes received.Thank you!C. Reilly

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!!

I feel like my little one is in good hands in this facility, as the security features are excellent and the staff is very caring.

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. Im 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 sons 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.

Highly recommended
