Where it is fun to be young. The Growing Tree Children’s Center was established
in 1979 as a non-profit childcare center serving children ages 6 weeks through
kindergarten. A Board of Directors comprised of parents and members of the business
community governs the Center. The Board generally meets on the second Wednesday
of each month and parents and community members are encouraged to participate. The
Center is certified by the Child Care Division of the State of Oregon. A yearly
review is conducted, including an on-site visit. Growing Tree Children’s
Center is in full compliance with the laws of the State of Oregon and applicable
administrative rules. The Growing Tree Children’s

believe: Young children need understanding and consistent
relationships with adults to foster positive self-images.
Programs must be
flexible and responsive to children’s needs. We provide
a clean, reliable, safe, and healthy environment for children, full of opportunity
for social, emotional, physical, and intellectual growth. Children
benefit from challenges, guidance, and the opportunity to develop at their own
pace. Our programs strengthen family and community
needs.
