Amazing school! Our son has been going here for about two years and he’s always so excited to see his teachers and friends. Each different teacher has made a connection with him and they are all very caring.

The teachers at Growing Tree are wonderfully kind and genuinely love to care for children. The facility is recently updated and safe, with several distinct areas for children based on their age and activity (toys, music, outdoor play, garden, etc.) We were not seeking a Mandarin immersion program, but we have had a fantastic experience sending our 2-year-old to Growing Tree, and I recommend it to anyone looking for a thoughtful, enriching environment for their child.

We had a wonderful, 3+ year experience at Growing Tree with our 2 kids. The teachers are very warm. When my daughter graduated she cried over leaving Teacher Li. The administration and teachers do an incredible job making the interiors magical and inspiring. While we didn't always know what was going on (as opposed to schools with apps for timestamps when they go to the bathroom) the kids can understand Mandarin, came home happy, and made wonderful friends. I whole heartedly recommend Growing Tree, and am very sad our time there is over. It's a special place.

Our son has attended The Growing Tree School for over two years - from the time he was just a year old. He has had many teachers in that time as he has aged from infancy to preschool, and they have all been so kind and dedicated. Having our son in a bilingual environment that is also well-organized, clean, diverse, and cheerful has been such a blessing. All of our son's teachers have shown a great deal of care for his physical well-being and mental development - working with him on language, science, gardening, reading, music, art, and social skills. We've loved being a part of The Growing Tree family and we look forward to being with them until our son is ready for Kindergarten!

A wonderful preschool with kind and loving teachers. My son started when he was only 6 months and loved every year spent at Growing Tree.

My cousin, Amelia, loves going here! They’re great daycare & preschool with bilingual teachers (Cantonese and Mandarin). The teachers are kindhearted and definitely love interacting with children. My family recently went to the school for an event and noticed how clean, organized, and large the building is. I would definitely recommend sending your child here for a safe and fun environment.

We have been sending our daughter to Growing Tree since she was 5 months old and have absolutely loved and appreciated the experience our child and family has had. The teachers and staff are so attentive and kind to the children and we feel like our daughter is learning so much and learning how to interact with other children so well. She is excited to go to school each morning and we've really come to appreciate the other families who send their kids to school at Growing Tree. We plan to send our daughter to Growing Tree all the way through pre-school we have appreciated the experience so much.

Beware of their dishonest enrollment process.My husband and I toured growing tree and discussed a three day per week schedule with the school (five months prior to our son's potential start date). They assured us that they could meet our needs, so we signed a deposit check and contract. Before starting, we reached out to confirm the details. They responded that they not only no longer offered a three day per week option, but had also increased tuition by over 25%. They had made both of these changes without contacting us, so we were left scrambling to find a spot in a another daycare at the last moment. They cashed our deposit based on certain terms, then completely switched it up on us. The enrollment agreement they provided specifically stated that tuition changes would be communicated at the beginning of the school year. This was an extremely disappointing experience. We respectfully requested the return of our deposit paid with the understanding that our son could attend 3 days per week at the previously discussed tuition cost. All attempts at communication with Growing Tree have gone unanswered. They have completely ignored us and kept our money. My recommendation would be to stay away from this dishonest school. It's a shame. We were really excited to join this community.

My daughter just graduated from the Growing Tree Preschool and has had a transformative journey since being enrolled there as a toddler. Not only did she learn Mandarin Chinese, I have seen her confidence progress as she has engaged and explored new curiosities and talents through their annual performance showcase. Most of all, the bond with the teachers and director has been incredible, we have grown to have a great relationship that truly felt like an extension of our family. As a parent, seeing her thrive in such a nurturing environment has been incredibly rewarding. I wholeheartedly recommend the Growing Tree Preschool program to any parent seeking a holistic and enriching early education for their child.

All three kids went to GT. My youngest one just graduated couple weeks ago. And we missed the GT teachers and staffs already. They have lots of teachers and staffs, so I always feel safe and comfortable knowing that my kids would get attention and care as they needed. I personally really like GT has staffs only focus on cleaning, so I know that teachers can focus on the kids and the staff can focus to keep the place well organized and cleaned. The teachers are very friendly and caring. I also know GT treats their teachers and staffs well, so they are happy to be there to work with the kids.

First of all, there are many school holidays! And then you pay the deposit, and when it comes time to drop out, you do everything you can to not give it back! It is said that Mandarin teaching, but most of the teacher's Mandarin is not standard! Finally, the child is isolated at school by the teacher! Being bullied by classmates! Complaints to no avail! Especially a teacher named Eva，Very unfriendly! I hope this kind of p re s cho owill close soon, and do not deceive parents and children!！

The teachers at Growing Tree are amazing and I can't say enough good things about this place! Finding the right childcare can be such a hard and big decision. I feel so lucky that a coworker recommended GT to us when I was still pregnant. My son started at just 5 months old. 4 years later, he is still there and thriving - happy, social, curious. The teachers genuinely care for the children and it shows in how much the kids enjoy being with each other. Aside from milk/baby food, they also provide all meals and snacks. As a busy working parent, I never knew how valuable this would be. Brenda, who is the head of the school, is always responsive by text or call. She's flexible and accommodating as things come up, and has helped us with naps schedules, potty training and various other transitions over the last 4 years (along with other teachers). I've especially appreciated the thoughtfulness and care that the teachers have put into keeping everyone safe during the pandemic, while remaining open. We're expecting baby #2 in 2022 and they'll be attending GT too, of course!
