Testimonials

My daughter loves Growing Seeds Academy. It’s been wonderful to see her actively engaging in cute sensory activities aimed at cultivating her intellectual development. Being an educator myself, I always worry about whether or not she is exploring her curiosity and being stimulated in a safe environment. Growing seeds provides all these experiences in spades

Wendy Pierre

I love Growing Seeds Learning Academy, I have a very good experience with the teachers and leadership. My son started there at 4 months and I felt so comfortable and at peace. He’s now 19 months and he always gives his teacher big hugs every morning when I drop him off. Thanks Growing Seeds, for the love.

Emi Ehimen

My 2 grandchildren attend GSLA. The facility is great, the teachers are creative and caring and experienced, and the curriculum is top notch. I am impressed with the staff’s attention to safety and wellness. I am so glad my grands are getting such a great start here!
