Growing Hearts, Fairfield CA

My child attends Growing Heart and has been there for the last 3 years. She enjoys it so much and absolutely loves her teachers. They take such good care of my baby and show her so much love! Even on weekends or days I keep her home with me she is asking to go. She has gotten so smart and advanced for her age because of the curriculum they teach there! This place is awesome! Thanks to the Growing Hearts family I appreciate you!

My daughter has been going to Growing Hearts since she was about 6 months and she just turned 4. They treat us like family, which is important to me. She has excelled academically as well since going to the Early Learning Center at 2 and she is excited to go every day. Highly recommend!

My girls have grown so much in this place they have shown a lot of academic progress. I’m also grateful for the staff who pushes potty training, my 2 year old was trained within a week of being their, accident were still bound to happen but that didn’t stop the teachers and my girls from the experience. Nutrition could be better but overall I’m pleased with my experience with Growing Hearts ️

This daycare has gifted and loving teachers that just truly love the kids. They are so family oriented and have a great curriculum! My daughter loves all the teachers and activities they have there and feels so loved by each teacher there!

My children have been going here for a few yrs now… I looooooove everything about this place and their staff! Aly got my child to eat certain foods that they refuse at hm! My youngest who is 2yrs old comes home singing her ABCs and a few other songs they taught her.the curriculum Aly creates for these kids is amazing! My children have learned soooooooo much at this facility. I couldn’t be happier! Thank you Aly and staff for teaching my children all that you do! You all go above and beyond your job title and I appreciate you all! ️

The staff at this center are all extremely unprofessional and the whole center is unorganized. My daughter attended this center for a short time. I couldn’t understand why she was having such a hard time transitioning but come to find out, it was due to negligence from the staff there. I would receive calls daily because my child was crying and unhappy. My daughter informed me that there were times when she would cry, and the Director, Ally, would make the children in my daughter’s class mock her, make fun of her and taunt her because she was crying and upset. My child also informed me that a teacher pinched her on her back extremely hard to the point where it made her cry. The next day, I went to the center and sat down with Ally to discuss what was happening. The whole time ally was nonchalant about everything. She agreed to allow me to watch camera footage which I did for a short time because I had to leave for work. I informed ally that I would return later that day to continue watching the footage. Once I returned, Ally said she wanted to leave work early because she had plans that evening and basically said she didn’t feel like watching more of the footage in real-time speed so she wound have to speed the footage up to cut back on time so she could leave early for the day. With the footage moving so fast, I of course couldn’t make out anything and At the end of everything Ally called my daughter a lier and said services would be discontinued due to my child being a liability to their staff. The owner Penny, also enter the room at that point and began disrespecting myself and my child and tried to make me leave. Since the staff didn’t do anything, I refused to leave until a police report was made. While waiting for the officers to arrive, Ally and Penny were extremely disrespectful. Don’t bring your child here. Now I understand why my child was so miserable there. All the positive reviews posted here are from their staff members. Don’t be fooled. If you want your child to have the best care, this place isn’t it.

My child is 5 years old and has been attending Growing Heart ELC since right before she was 3 yrs old. As a new Mom I was SO nervous about putting my baby in daycare so young. Particularly because she had been cared for from birth by a family member and we were accustomed to the best care as a result.

Once I met the Center Director (and co-owner) Aly I really liked that she was a bit younger (I'm in the older Mom club myself) and she had good energy.

From the time my baby started there to today, she has excelled academically. I love that they have a Kindergarten program as a part of the daycare. The staff observed my child's readiness and aptitude and asked me if they could move her into the Kindergarten class when she was 3 so she's been able to benefit from that exposure and she has really excelled.

There were times early on that my child was having issues adjusting to "daycare life" and she was a bit aggressive with other kids but I was never made to feel like she would be kicked out if she didn't immediately change her behavior. Aly would call me and we would collaborate as a team to work with my Daughter to help her adjust and change the behavior and she did. Anytime there are any issues, I have no problem calling Aly to discuss. I find her to be very approachable and open to feedback, even when it's not an easy conversation. There have been times we've respectfully disagreed on some things but I have never been made to feel defensive by the staff or by Aly.

The staff is awesome, and I always see them comforting and loving on the kids which I think is really important because our babies miss us all day so it's nice to know that they are being hugged and loved and gently worked with to help them adapt.

All in all I am very happy with Growing Hearts. No daycare is perfect but I will say that I am very happy with the care that my child receives. It's affordable, educational, supportive and empathetic to my needs and the needs of my child and I am thankful that I found such great care for my one and only.

My 3 yr old attended this daycare for a short time. The manager (young girl) was kind, but a little unorganized with paperwork and processing. My baby LOVED coming here.always ran to the door UNTIL one day.she saw an older woman at the door and hid behind my legs in fear. (red flag for my child!). She also became severely sick at this location.

My child has went to growing hearts since she was 4 and now that she’s 12 she still asks if she can go to daycare and see everyone. She’s made so many wonderful friends and considers them to be like family.

I’ve worked at Growing Hearts Childcare Center for 1 year now and I honestly couldn’t be more blessed to have Penny Bowers as my boss and to work with such amazing ladies! Everyone is so loving, professional and patient with the children and staff as well!
