My 2 year old daughter recently switched daycares to Here We Grow because Here We Grow is much closer to our home. I was nervous she would have a difficult time with the transition but its been great. I was expecting tears the first week but on the first day she spotted a toy she had at her old school and with encouragement from her teacher she walked right in without looking back! She doing well and I’m very happy with our choice to move her here. -Julie D.
