Safety Reminder

For safety reasons:
  • Please do not leave your car running in the parking lot
  • Lock your car if you are leaving valuables in the car while you enter the Center
  • Notify us know if you have left a child in the car? 
  • FYI: Not recently, but we have had a car that was left running stolen out of our parking lot and many purses stolen out of cars. Please take precautions

Winter Menus

We will be moving to our Winter Menus the week of November 4th. Please visit the Menu tab on the website to view weekly menus

Toys

Growing Tree has a Center wide policy regarding toys. We ask that your child not bring toys from home. Most children have a difficult time sharing  with their peers so bringing toys from home creates unnecessary conflict for everyone. The toys in the room belong to everyone and we typically have several of each toy. Please tell your child that they will need to leave the toy in their carseat and it will be waiting for them when you pick them up. Please do not leave toys in child's cubby. Note: a small stuffy for naptime is appropriate.
