How We Started<\/h3>

The seed of Growing Room sprouted deep in the heart of pediatric nurse Sheree Mitchell. As a working mother, she was frustrated with the lack of quality daycare centers available for her son; she believed all children deserved more than just basic, affordable daycare. They deserve a quality childcare center that cares for and challenges children to meet their full potential.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

In her mind, the ideal learning environment would be colorful, welcoming and spark a child\u2019s imagination as soon as they entered the child care center. Parents would choose a school that is secure, where they wouldn\u2019t worry about their child\u2019s safety. There would be good health practices in place to minimize exposure to illness and all children would be treated with dignity and respect. The school would offer developmentally appropriate curriculum for all ages, beginning with infants, and would instill strong character traits and good citizenship. Expanded services would be offered such as Before and After school care, Emergency childcare and Summer programs. In short, it would give them a foundation for a lifelong love of learning that would lead to success in life.<\/p>

Holding fast to her dream of creating this education-focused setting for preschoolers, Sheree and her husband opened their first Growing Room in 1989. Families quickly responded and soon she was hearing stories of their children\u2019s success. Teachers told her they could tell the difference with Growing Room children \u2013 they were well prepared for Kindergarten! Little did Sheree know that the success of these children and their families would also lead to Sheree to being named Georgia Small Business Person of the Year, and later\u00a0U.S. Small Business Person of the Year<\/a>.<\/p>

With these kinds of awards, a new seed was planted \u2013 Growing Room Franchise System, Inc, which Sheree launched in 2007. There are now 11 Growing Room childcare centers in four states, and growing! We can confidently say Growing Room is one of the best childcare centers in the region.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

At Growing Room, we believe in developing a strong partnership with parents to give their children the best care possible. Open communication and respect are key in these relationships. We encourage parents to visit at any time and frequently offer special events to include them. Some examples are Mother\u2019s Day and Father\u2019s Day breakfasts, Thanksgiving Class Lunches, and Diaper Derbies. By including parents in our day-to-day activities, they witness the best childcare in action for themselves. We also honor extended relatives on Grandparent\u2019s Day and offer opportunities for family members to visit and read to the children. The whole family is included in the preschool activities. \u00a0Consult your school\u2019s annual calendar of events for more information and to plan ahead.<\/p>

Visit our one of our locations to learn more about the individual school and how they can best meet your infant or preschooler\u2019s needs.<\/p>
