What Customers Say

My son just aged out after over 3 years in this program. I have to fight back tears just writing this thinking about how fortunate we have been to have Samira, Khadija, and all of the other wonderful staff members as his first caretakers.

Ben Tramposh

Edit: our son has been at growing hearts now for a full year and I can't put into words how grateful I am to have found someplace so perfect for our family. I have immense gratitude for Samira and her entire team for creating such a loving and nurturing environment + his language development is absolutely insane!

Alicia Westlund

We love Growing Hearts. Samira is kind, calm, and helps raise children with the same qualities by creating an environment of respect and love. She sees children as the individuals they are. There are no gimmicks to get you into Growing Hearts; I won't recommend Samira because she has flashy toys or outlandish meal plans.

Frequently Asked Questions

What age groups does Growing Hearts serve?

We care for infants, toddlers, and preschool-age children. Our infant care and toddler care programs focus on early development during those critical first years. Preschool services prepare children for Kindergarten and beyond. We also offer in-home child care for families who prefer that option.

What learning approaches do you use in your infant and toddler programs?

Our infant and toddler programs are inspired by Montessori and Reggio Emilia learning approaches. Both methods emphasize hands-on exploration and respect for each child's individual pace. We believe this foundation supports healthy social, emotional, and behavioral growth during those formative years.

How does your preschool program prepare children for Kindergarten?

We implement The Creative Curriculum in our preschool program. It's designed to build skills kids need for Kindergarten - academic readiness, independence, and cooperation with peers. Our educators guide each child toward important developmental milestones while keeping learning playful.
