Growing Patch In-home Preschool

I cannot say enough good things about Miss Sarah and the growing patch. My son is 3 1/2 and genuinely loves going to school. We have unfortunately tried a few in the area, and my son can be slow to warm up, but when we did a trial day with Miss Sarah, it was clear that my son was comfortable right away. We love the structure that she operates with, but that she still provides a ton of variety, excitement, enriching activity, and fosters are really great environment for learning. She sends lots of photo and video updates throughout the day which we love too. My son has learned so many new skills: writing, letter and sound recognition, use of scissors, some Spanish, and so much more. Ms. Sarah makes sure they have plenty of time outside, is very communicative and really offers a partnership in caring for your child. She has been doing this a long time, but her passion still shows through each and every day in everything that she plans for the kids, the ways that she goes above and beyond to create a special experience for them, to celebrate alongside them, and to create a little family among the children that go there. It is a really really special place and I’m so glad we found her. Thank you for all you do, Ms. Sarah!

We are so lucky to have Ms. Sarah and the Growing Patch in our neighborhood! Ms Sarah does an amazing job creating a structured environment, fun lesson plans and engaging activities for the kids. She supports the kiddos as individuals and is great at balancing a variety of needs for each individual. Sarah is very communicative and goes above and beyond sharing photos and updates on weekly lesson plans. Our daughter is really thriving under Sarah’s care, and has mentally and emotionally grown since starting. 10/10 would recommend if you’re looking for an in home/nurturing/montessori vibe.

My daughter has been attending The Growing Patch In-Home Preschool for over three years, and we’ve had an amazing experience! The personal attention and cozy, home-like atmosphere have made a huge difference for our daughter. One of the best things about this preschool is the caring teacher, Sarah. She creates such a warm and welcoming environment. The curriculum is engaging and thought-provoking, similar to a Montessori approach. Our daughter used to dread going to her previous daycare because of the constant staff changes and less nurturing environment. But with Sarah, she is always excited to go to school. We also love how accommodating the preschool is with dietary needs, making sure our daughter always has something she likes to eat. The special holiday activities, like pajama parties, are a wonderful touch that our daughter really enjoys. Sarah interacts with the kids in such a positive way, with lots of great activities that keep them engaged and happy. Overall, The Growing Patch In-Home Preschool has been a wonderful choice for our family, providing a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment for our daughter.

The worst part about moving out of state was losing Sarah! She cared for my son for almost 3 years. She communicated with us often and kept him clean, fed, and safe. She really cares about the kids and you can tell. We miss her very much and I would recommend her to any family!

Sarah watched both my boys when they were around 2-3 years old each, and she did a fantastic job! I felt they were completely safe and taken care of with her. Her communication while they were there went above and beyond! I loved the pictures of activities throughout the day they were taking part in, and updates of what meals and snacks they were going to get every day. I also loved the gifts and art (especially around holidays) they would bring home! You can tell she really cares about what she does, and she strives to give the kids in her care the best environment she can. I recommend growing patch to anyone with littles!

Sarah watched by kid from ages 2.5 to almost 6 years old. My daughter absolutely loved going there and still maintains friendships with her classmates there! Sarah is very loving and attentive. My daughter now goes to another school and it's so different not being able to get updates and pictures regularly. It was a privilege to be able to attend the Growing Patch. I've loved seeing it blossom into the wonderful learning space it is today. I trust Sarah so completely with my child. I recommend her to anyone looking for care for their littles.
