We (parents) and our 3 month old baby girl love GSLA Rockaway!! We were anxious when we had to think about sending our 2 month old baby to daycare but when we visited GSLA Rockaway and met the director and when she explained how things run there, we felt comfortable. Then after sending our baby there and while we observed how she was taken care of and I get all the updates on procare app, it gave us reassurance and peace of mind when we are at work. Every single caregiver there is awesome and friendly and so caring for our baby that I have no more anxiety at all. In fact, our baby loves it there and the caregivers so much so that she wakes up in the morning and doesn’t want to stay home and she only calms down when I take her to daycare. On this thanksgiving, I’m thankful to the GSLA and all the caregivers for taking care of our baby. I believe that working parents can easily trust them with their child while they have to work long hours and also take care of household chores. Their hours are also super convenient for us so that I can easily finish working and take care of some housework and then pick up my baby to spend quality time with her. ❤️

Growing Seeds has been an amazing place for my daughter. This was my first experience leaving her in someone else’s care and I had some anxiety. Ms Kim, the director, was so kind to answer all of my questions and ease my mind. When I met the infant teachers, Ms Yanet and Ms Yolanda, I immediately felt at ease. They genuinely love each child in their care. I’m excited to continue to watch my daughter grow and thrive at GSLA.

My granddaughter have been going to this school for almost 2 years now and so far we are pleased with the love, attention and care she gets from her teachers. I wait eagerly everyday to get my granddaughter’s photos taken all throughout the day in her school. She loves to go to school with a smile every morning that really reassures us not to worry about her while she is in school.
