The Growing Room Preschool

Reviews

  I've taught in the fine arts for 16 years and had the privilege of working with the teachers and students at The Growing Room for their Summer Theatre Workshop. I learned so much from these ladies during the time I was there. It was such a loving, encouraging environment. Somehow the teachers managed to connect with each child each day and to raise them up to celebrate their strengths. The children arrived with enthusiasm, smiling as they ran in, and they left with smiles on their faces. I wish I had known about this school when my children were younger! Despite another reviews claims, the teacher to student ratio was even better than the 2:12 ratio they state in their information packets. I can not imagine how anyone would have anything negative to say about this well-respected school that has proven results and teachers that I would trust with my children any day. They are rare gems. Parents who have children in the school have applied ON TIME. I can only imagine the negative review would be sour-grapes over knowing what someone had missed out on.

  This year marks my fourth year teaching at TGR and our School is small but mighty! Attendance here has grown over the years through word of mouth and social media and The Growing Room has been Madeira's little treasure nestled between Kroger and Coffee Please for 17 years! The past four years have been such a happy time for me! I love coming to work everyday and I am so proud of the work that we do here! We work hand in hand with our parents to encourage kind, compassionate little leaders with strong social character! We work hard to foster a balance of play, art and music while providing the academic foundation that our little graduates will need to be prepared for Kindergarten. But Preschool is not just about being prepared academically, my friends, it is about helping to raise little humans! Besides being a parent, this job is the most rewarding experience I have ever had!Thank you Missy Griffin for having the courage to start this little school and to work hard to connect with families on an intimate level while providing a program that is like no other! As another new year approaches, I know that there will be new challenges ahead as we help to foster the social, emotional, physical and intellectual growth of another group and I am ready to fall in love, once again, with a new family of little humans!
