GSLA has been so accommodating for our family. We had both our children there. It’s only gotten better since we started there, and the teachers truly care about the children. Our kids are always happy to go to the school. With our baby, they have been willing to follow our specific napping and feeding requests every day. Such a nice location.

Growing seeds Academy has been such a wonderful experience, and it’s made even more special because of the care and understanding they show for Allasia. The whole program feels welcoming and supportive—from the moment we talk with staff to the time she’s in class, and it truly shows in the way they treat her.<br><br>One of the biggest things I appreciate is how they handle Allasia being on the spectrum with nothing but kindness and respect. From Miss Reilly to her teacher, they take good care of her and make sure she feels comfortable and included. What stands out most is Miss Stephanie—she’s always very understanding and patient, and her calm approach makes a real difference.<br><br>I also love that Academy doesn’t treat Allasia like she’s “different” in a negative way. She’s treated with the same respect and expectations as all the<br>Kid, and that means so much. Seeing Allasia included, valued, and treated like she belongs the same way every other child does has been genuinely heartwarming.<br><br>Beyond that, the experience of growing seeds has been a great reminder that growth takes time—and watching Allasia learn, participate, and feel supported has been amazing. Overall, I can honestly say Academy is a place that truly cares. They provide patience, consistency, and acceptance, and that’s what makes it special.

We recently moved from Weehawken, and my three-year-old was devastated to leave her beloved daycare. Adjusting to a new environment was difficult, but GSLA made the transition so smooth! The teachers are incredibly loving and caring, and communication is excellent. Ms. Riley, Stephanie, Cece, and Lily make my little girl so happy. We are so grateful for them! Highly recommend GSLA! ❤️

We've been taking our child to GSLA for about 5 months now and absolutely love it.<br><br>It's a warm environment with teachers/employees who seem to really care. A big thing for me is making sure educational stimulation happen at a young age. What I've noticed is GSLA cares about this just as much as I do.<br><br>The highlight of my day is the pings on my phone seeing photos of my child interacting with other kids, learning new things, and eating well. So happy to be working with them!

I can’t say enough good things about Growing Seeds! My son started at just 5 months old, and as a first-time mom, trusting someone else with his care was a huge decision. From the very beginning, everyone has been warm, attentive, and genuinely caring. They are so easy to talk to and communicate with, share updates throughout the day, and are always happy to answer any questions, which gives me so much peace of mind while I’m at work.<br><br>Most importantly, my son is happy, comfortable, and so loved there. I’ve loved watching him grow, learn, and reach new milestones with the encouragement of his wonderful teachers. Knowing I can drop him off each morning and walk away feeling confident that he is being cared for and loved is truly priceless. Growing Seeds has become such a special part of his little world, and I’m so grateful we found them. ❤️
