About Growing Room
Our Commitment To You: Your Child Will Blossom
That line comes from Growing Room's own about page. The center describes itself as a preschool and daycare in Bonita Springs and Fort Myers taking children from six weeks old through eighth grade.
The two centers share the same programs and the same hours, infants through school age, Monday to Friday, 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM. This page looks at the Bonita Springs center on Bernwood Drive, the people in it, and how the center describes its own place in the neighborhood.
Circle time, Bonita Springs.
On Site
Speech and behavioral therapy, without leaving the building
Growing Room offers speech and behavioral therapy onsite, alongside the everyday work of the classroom. The center also describes parent-teacher partnerships as part of how it works with families.
Parents In The Room
Parents are part of the classroom, not just the pickup line
As Growing Room describes it, parents are invited into the day itself: sharing their own professions with the class, or coming in to read at circle time. It is a small thing on paper, but it is the kind of detail that turns a drop-off into an ongoing partnership between a family and the people teaching their child.
In The Neighborhood
A center that shows up outside its own walls
Growing Room says it is proud to be a March of Dimes sponsor and supporter, and the center runs canned food drives . It also backs the “Growing our Daughters for Success” program, and hosts an annual Christmas Angel Tree.
The Building
Past the mural and the “Growing Room Way” sign
Inside the Bernwood Drive center, the lobby has a painted tree mural and a bilingual welcome banner, and a street-sign-style marker inside reads “The Growing Room Way”. Outside, the center describes fenced, astroturf-covered yards divided by age group.
Growing Room also has its own Virtual Tour on Vimeo, filmed inside the center, for families who want a look before they Schedule A Tour in person.
