Growing Room Child Development Center of Columbus

My daughter started at GRCA in August 2024. With it being her first time in daycare, I was nervous about how she would do. The staff and teachers there are absolutely incredible. Everyone is warm, welcoming, patient, and understanding. My daughter is thriving there and has learned so much. She looks forward to going and I love seeing the bond she has built with her teachers and the other kids in her class. I highly recommend Growing Room!

I love the Growing Room! I have had nothing but great experiences with both my children going to such a great facility. The faculty and staff are very loving and it takes patience and dedication to work with babies and children. I love the cleanliness of the center and I also like that they have parent appreciation days sometime where they have Coffee, OJ, cookies, or muffins. I could say a lot but I encourage anyone that this is a great place for a child. My two smaller babies that attended the Growing room in 2019 and 2021

My son attended for less than 2 weeks and it wasn’t a good experience. There are way too many kids in each class for the teachers to give them adequate attention and they seem overworked. During his time there didn’t seem to be any learning activities or lesson plans. They have an app that is supposed to give updates and pictures throughout the day but after the first day I didn’t receive anymore updates. They also require a two week notice if you’re going to disenroll and they will charge you for those two week whether your child attends or not. This policy is completely understandable for daycares who have to allow time to find another child to replace the missing tuition but this place has a waiting list so they are basically double dipping by charging the two week cancellation and allowing a new student to come in. This place just cares about money frankly.

Growing Room on Manchester was recommended to us by some friends while I was still pregnant. We got put on the waiting list in Oct 21 and finally enrolled in Mar 22, about a week after when we needed to start daycare. In the time we have been there, they have just been amazing with my little one. They are experienced, thoughtful, and extremely helpful! They keep me updated with pictures and everyday when I pick him up. If anything happens, they also call immediately! I truly appreciate the care they have not only for my little one but all the children within the daycare.

Jenny at the front desk with the tattoo on her neck is extremely rude. If she is rude to adults I’m sure she is rude to the children. Being the first person you see upon entering the building she should be taught ethics or maybe even morals which they aren’t required to teach her, she should have come equipped with customer service.
