Growing Hearts

Our son just started going to Growing Hearts and we have had such a positive experience. I feel like I’m dropping him off with family, he has only been going for a short time and had never been to daycare before but clearly loves all his teachers. Samira is so sweet and her whole team is amazing. We are so grateful for them.

We love Growing Hearts. Samira is kind, calm, and helps raise children with the same qualities by creating an environment of respect and love. She sees children as the individuals they are. There are no gimmicks to get you into Growing Hearts; I won’t recommend Samira because she has flashy toys or outlandish meal plans. I recommend her because she is a good person, and you know your child is safe with her. She has pediatric medical experience outside childcare, and it has proven crucial to us a number of times. She upholds COVID-19 standards as well. If what you want most from childcare is a quality caregiver, I would heartily recommend Samira, as well as her co-teachers. They are wonderful.

My son just aged out after over 3 years in this program. I have to fight back tears just writing this thinking about how fortunate we have been to have Samira, Khadija, and all of the other wonderful staff members as his first caretakers. In the early days of the pandemic, many in-home daycare centers sprung up in the neighborhood, and I visited as many as I could. It was an easy choice to enroll here observing Samira's professionalism and the extra effort she put in to thoughtful programming. As her capacity grew, she was extraordinarily judicious in her hiring, and all the teachers and staff have added a great deal to our family's experience. We are immensely grateful for this whole community and the development they've nurtured.

We loved Growing Hearts! Our child was taught, loved, nurtured, and fed delicious food by these amazing women. They gave us excellent feedback at parent teacher conferences about skills to focus on at home. They basically potty trained our child for us! Whenever we weren’t sure how to handle a behavioural issue at home, they had excellent advice! Thank you!!

My son attended Growing Hearts Daycare this year. This was his 1st time being at a daycare. He loved going there everyday. He made lots of new friends. The director whose name is Samira, made sure he attended online learning. She provided him with a quiet place without any distractions. Additionally, she provided healthy snacks and field trips for the kids. Growing Hearts is a respectable, caring, safe and affordable daycare. I highly recommend their services. April Mitchell
