Hello everyone,
We are so thrilled to finally share our heartfelt experience with The Growing Years Early Childcare Education Center in Burlington, NC.
My wife and I are older parents—we had our first baby during the height of COVID. She’s what you’d call a “COVID baby.” Like many new parents, we were cautious, nervous, and eager to find a place that felt not only safe but nurturing. When our daughter started at Growing Years at just nine months old, we had no idea how deeply this center would impact our lives.
From the very beginning, the love and care they poured into our daughter was unmistakable. This wasn’t just a daycare—it was a second home. The staff caught her very first steps—a moment we’ll never forget. They’ve been there through every milestone, and now, incredibly, she’s about to graduate and head into elementary school.
What sets Growing Years apart is something that’s rare in childcare today: consistency and love. There’s hardly any staff turnover here, and that’s not a coincidence. The leadership takes care of their teachers and caregivers, and that care trickles down to every child who walks through their doors. The result? A team that’s experienced, passionate, and truly connected to your child’s development.
As parents, security and communication were top priorities. Growing Years delivers on both. Their camera system allows you to check in any time, giving you peace of mind throughout the day. And when those inevitable bumps and scrapes happen (as they do with young kids), their communication is prompt and thoughtful. They’ll call, email, and even sit down with you face-to-face to ensure you understand what happened and how it was handled. That level of transparency and compassion is unmatched.
We now have two children at The Growing Years. Our son currently attends, and he receives the same love, structure, and joyful learning experience that helped our daughter thrive. If you visit the center, stroll down the wall of fame—you’ll find our daughter’s photo there. It’s not just a picture. It’s a symbol of our family’s deep connection to this place and its people.
We wholeheartedly recommend The Growing Years to any parent looking for a center rooted in compassion, high-quality education, and a true sense of community. This is more than a childcare center. This is the foundation for a lifetime of learning and love.
With gratitude,
The Tysons ❤️
