My daughter attended there for a short period of time and in that short period of time from day one my family experienced some very hard lows that made it hard to keep up with so much through it all, this school showed my family nothing but kindness, the most sincere compassion, and treated my daughter with nothing short of love. My daughter was extremely happy to come in every day and leave with a smile hugging every teacher on her way out. I have never and will never stop recommending the growing tree learning center to absolutely everyone I know or any other parent looking for a school!!❤️ The learning curriculum for the kiddos is amazing and the children are welcomed into a growing family there!! I could never say one negative thing about this place, my family loves this family!!!
THE GROWING TREE IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST!!! MY SON WENT THERE FOR ABOUT 3 YEARS. THE GROWING TREE IS A FAMILY. A FAMILY WE WILL FOREVER THINK ABOUT AND CHERISH. I HAVE NEVER ONCE WORRIED ABOUT KOLTON WHEN HE WAS THERE. THEY ARE SO TRUSTWORTHY!! MS. ELLEN IS AMAZING AND SHE IS SO WELCOMING, KIND, GREAT WITH THE KIDS (MY SON LOVES HER SO MUCH), AND ALWAYS AVAILABLE AND WILLING TO TALK ABOUT ANY CONCERNS. BEING THERE FOR SO LONG, KOLTON GOT TO HAVE MANY DIFFERENT TEACHERS, ALL OF WHICH ARE INCREDIBLE AS WELL. THEY TREATED KOLTON SO WELL AND I COULD NOT BELIEVE SOME OF THE THINGS HE CAME HOME AND TOLD ME HE LEARNED. HE ADVANCED SO MUCH AT THE GROWING TREE. NOW HE IS IN KINDERGARDEN AND DOING OUTSTANDING. I TRULY BELIEVE THE GROWING TREE NOT ONLY TOOK GREAT CARE OF MY SON, BUT THEY PREPARED HIM TO TRANSITION INTO KINDERGARDEN. THANK YOU, MS. ELLEN, KAKUI AND ALL OF THE GREAT TEACHERS.
So excited for all the major work you are doing at!!! The kids and staff are already at the best daycare around and this is just stepping it up to 10000%, you just keep doing more and more to help the kids learn so much and have so much doing it and our family is beyond thankful to have met you and blessed that our son gets the luxury and honor of spending his days with awesome teachers he loves inside of an amazing place surrounded by his friends with lots of love and laughs. Thank you for all you do Ellen you are everyone’s rock 🪨 and have a place in all of our hearts always . ❤️ 💙 💜 🧡 💚 🤎 💛😊
Hi Miss Ellen,
We just wanted to thank you and all the teachers at The Growing Tree for everything over the past couple years. The kids have grown and learned so much and we appreciate all that everyone has done to teach them and help them in their development. You all will be missed!
Thanks for everything!

Dear Miss Ellen and amazing teachers,
Please accept this letter as our official two weeks notice.
I have no words to describe how greatful I am for taking us in when we needed you.
I have grown up so much as a mother and is all thanks to you all.
You were always available to talk, answered all of my questions and cared for my baby as your own.
This past week we were able to develop a routine between work and school that works and allows Luna and I to spend more time together.
Again, Thank you,
Ruasha
