Our son Maxwell flourished at Growstrong. Ms. Yvette was truly a Godsend for us. I was able to return to work knowing that Maxwell would be cared for and educated in a safe environment. She has such a beautiful spirit and family. The first few years of a child’s life are very important, and you will not regret choosing GrowStrong.

Thank you Ms. Yvette for all your hard work, commitment and dedication in educating all these wonderful minds of the future. You definitely make a difference in your community. Setting a pathway for the future of these children. Especially my beautiful daughter, who is going to be a Senior this fall. Definitely 30 years of awesome experiences. While at GrowStrong Preschool my daughter learned her alphabet and numbers both in English and Spanish. She also learned the value of reading. Now she loves reading. Once again thank you so much for instilling the importance of reading that most likely makes a difference in their educational journey. Also extra curricular activities like beach day, and camp day. Zephanya definitely loved going the beach and having a camp day in the big tent in the backyard. Those beautiful experience played an impact in her life.

Both of my children attended Growstrong preschool. I was drawn to the nurturing home environment, the healthy meals prepared, and the huge rear yard for them to roam. The educational component, the holiday celebrations ,and the field trips were a special bonus. Ms Yvette, the director of the program, was amazing and she loved those children like they were her own. There was love at Growstrong, so I often recommended it to my mom friends.

My family loves Growstrong!!! Ms. Yvette took excellent care of our daughter. I went to work everyday knowing that my child was in good hands. I didn’t have to worry. I loved the focus on reading. The school also has a nice spacious backyard for the kids to play. The school made breakfast and lunch for the kids. I could go and on. My daughter was more than prepared for Kindergarten!!!! My son will be there when he’s old enough.

Entrusting someone with your most valued possession is one of the most challenging decisions a parent has to make. There are not enough words to describe the trust, comfort, and love that my child has received at Grow Strong Preschool. My son started here shortly after his 2nd birthday, and I immediately knew that we had chosen the perfect place for him.
In the year and a half that he has been here, his growth is nothing short of amazing! He’s learning to read, write, identify larger vs. smaller quantities, geometric shapes such as semi-circles, octagons, and pyramids, mathematical concepts, memorize poetry, and so much more (he often “quizzes” me on many of these subjects during our commute home). Grow Strong provides the small class size we were looking for, healthy home-cooked meals, a loving, nurturing, safe and structured environment, with a close-knit community feel. The backyard is large with lots of fun toys and a cute little garden where the children get to do some spring planting.
I am honored to be part of the Grow Strong family and I’m already having anxiety thinking about him having to leave for kindergarten. But one thing that I am confident about is that he will be more than prepared academically and socially and ready to meet new challenges head-on.

Where do I begin.. This is an amazing Preschool. I brought my daughter here at about 4.5 years old and my only wish is that I had transitioned her to this preschool sooner. Prior, she was in a very popular and established preschool–that apparently doesn’t believe in seriously teaching reading and math in preschool. So to compensate, I enrolled her in Kumon to give her a more academic focus that would ultimately lead to early reading. Kumon was great. I would recommend it. However, I was a bit perturbed that I was paying for a preschool that basically refused to teach her how to read while I knew she was more than capable of learning both. So I read some reviews here on yelp and went to visit Ms. Yvette at Growstrong. I signed her up and I could not be happier. Miley is now reading simple sentences, adding, subtracting, counting 1 to 100 (writing and reciting), and comes home asking me about random science facts that she learned at school. Grow Strong taught her to memorize and recite a tremendously long poem called “My Shadow” https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/43196/my-shadow. They have an amazing focus on black history which reinforces positive African-American role models in addition to the traditional role models that students typically learn about. We just had an amazing STEM project report and she demonstrated a very cool experiment to her class. I’m big on academics. However, she also has ample opportunity to play, build social skills, and really interact with other children. I would highly recommend this preschool to anyone who is serious about their child’s early childhood education. At least twice a month, I find myself truly amazed at what she has been learning and thankful that I was able to find Grow Strong and they had availability when I applied.
Thanks Ms. Yvette and Ms. Dachari for making my experience so wonderful. I truly feel like I can relax a bit–knowing that my child is on an optimal academic track for her age. Now off to find the best Kindergarten..
