What Our Clients Say

"It has truly been an awesome experience seeing how much my daughter has grown over the years at A Place To Grow. She comes home with new knowledge and understanding every day. And, she has love for her wonderful teachers at APTG."

- John (Parent of a Preschooler)

"My son was in the Pre-K classroom with Miss Melanie, Krista, and Jen from July 2018-July 2019. I want to give these teachers and A Place to Grow kudos for such a wonderful job done helping my kiddo start to read. My son is currently in first grade and all of the kids are in special reading groups virtually. I noticed that the more advanced reader group (with my son included) has the other two kiddos who came from A Place to Grow as well. That made me really happy and proud. Keep up the great work!"

- Ann (Parent of a Preschooler)

"The teachers at APTG are so loving and attentive that I feel like I'm leaving my child with family everyday. The peace of mind is priceless."

- Elisa (Parent of an Older Toddler)
