After conducting timeless research, we concluded that the Growing Tree was definitely our #1 pick! Our son attended here for 2+ years and grew unexplainable bonds with all his teachers and peers, especially Ms.Ellen. We enjoyed hearing about his day of learning and of course receiving little gifts of art work he had been working on during the week. Being a military family, we appreciated Ellen's attention to detail and her enthusiasm for the school year! Ellen, along with all the teachers, were amazing and definitely provided a loving/nurturing environment, yet also kept to a structure (which kept me happy as well). Unfortunately, our family had to relocate before my son's graduation and transition to kindergaden. However, Ellen made the transition out a better experience for our son, who was very upset about the move, to being a more comforting /pleasant situation. We are forever grateful for the amount of care and genuine love they bestowed upon our little guy. We have yet to find another school that can compare with these qualities, even the most prestige prep schools cannot stack up to what the Growing Tree offers. We hope to spread the word about this school from Joint Base Charleston and beyond! -Menwer Family
