This is the most wonderful day care. The staff are so loving to all the children. I never see a unhappy child or teacher and that says a lot. My son who is 4 has attended since April 2010. They offer your child so much. Much more than any other day care facility and at a reasonable cost. Do yourself and your child a favor and do not pass this day care by. ...read more

Here We Grow is the best day care facility in Gloucester County. The staff are very friendly and loving to my family and especially my three month old daughter that they take care of during the day. I was very hesitant to go back to work and place my child in day care, but at Here We Grow, I know my baby is getting the care and attention she needs. At the end of every day I am given a report that shows her daily activities. I chose Here We Grow after doing months of research. First I did a search on line for day care facilities in her age group - that turned up 20 locations. Next I called each location for tuition informtation and to get a feel for how friendly the staff was - narrowed search to 8. Then I drove by each facility to just get a general feel of the neighborhood - narrowed search to 3. Finally, I stopped by each facility without an appointment - down to 2. After meeting with the Director of Here We Grow I knew I wanted my baby to go there. The Director was extremely helpful in getting the paper work in order and as I toured around the facility I felt more and more comfortable about trusting these caregiver's with my baby. My daughter has been in the care of Here We Grow for a month now and she is developing beautifully. When I pick her up and drop her off I am greeted by the warm and caring staff - as well as the other childrens parents. I feel very confident in my decision and I highly recommend this day care facility to everyone! Thank you, Nichole ...read more
