Innovative Learning and Care at Growing Room Child Development Centers
Growing Room Child Development Centers, a name that resonates with quality and care in the early childhood education sector, has recently added a new accolade to its portfolio - the 2023 Best of Georgia Award. This recognition is a testament to the company's unwavering commitment to providing top-notch childcare and educational services.
The journey of Growing Room began in 1989, when Sheree Mitchell, a pediatric nurse and concerned mother, identified a significant gap in quality childcare. Driven by her personal experiences and professional insights, Sheree, alongside her husband, established the first Growing Room center. Their goal was simple yet profound: to create a nurturing environment where children could thrive both educationally and emotionally.
From its inception, Growing Room was more than just a daycare. The center's philosophy hinged on creating a colorful, engaging, and safe environment that would foster a love for learning from an early age. Their approach included a developmentally appropriate curriculum that catered to infants and beyond, instilling strong character traits and good citizenship values in children.
This commitment to excellence in early education did not go unnoticed. Families quickly began to see the impact of Growing Room's unique approach, with teachers noting the preparedness of Growing Room children for kindergarten. The success stories of these children became a driving force behind the company's expansion. Sheree Mitchell's vision and dedication earned her the titles of Georgia Small Business Person of the Year and later, U.S. Small Business Person of the Year.
In 2007, Growing Room evolved into Growing Room Franchise System, Inc, expanding its reach to 11 centers across four states. This expansion has been guided by the foundational values of the original center, ensuring consistency in quality and care.
The Best of Georgia Award, decided by votes from customers, is a reflection of the trust and satisfaction that parents and guardians place in Growing Room. It underscores the center's success in building strong partnerships with families, characterized by open communication and respect. The center's commitment to involving parents in their child's educational journey is evident in activities like Mother’s Day and Father’s Day breakfasts, Thanksgiving Class Lunches, and Diaper Derbies, fostering a robust family-school relationship.
Growing Room's curriculum is another standout feature, focusing on language development, math, science, social studies, phonics, sign language, art, music, and more. This comprehensive approach is tailored to foster all aspects of a child's growth, preparing them not just for school, but for life.
In the words of Brittany Haines, "Our goal has always been to give children a foundation for a lifelong love of learning that leads to success in life." This ethos is at the heart of Growing Room's operation and is evidently resonating with the communities they serve, as shown by their recent Best of Georgia Award.
