What Parents Are Saying
“We started attending Good to Grow in June 2020. We intended to enroll in March of 2020 but Covid had other plans. Throughout their closure Amanda stayed in touch to make sure we all knew she was thinking of us and our families. Originally we were using a Nanny Share for our childcare and I was hesitant at first about a 'center', over an in-home environment but that worry was completely squashed when I met Amanda and her team of teachers. Our daughter has the most amazing time at Good to Grow. She talks about it constantly. Her excitement for school in the morning at drop off is contagious. She doesn't want to leave at the end of the day. She has learned so much. We feel supported, loved and safe at Good to Grow.”

“We are fairly new to the Good To Grow family, with my daughter in the toddler group for 2 months now. She does 2 days a week and I already have noticed a big difference in the amount she communicates and interacts with others while we are out. We are now in the time of COVID so her being about to see others kids and play in an environment that takes all the proper precautions, but still allowing her to play like a toddler should, is very important to me. I love seeing her come home with pieces of art work for the fridge and daily report cards on what they did at “school”. Communication with the director, Amanda, has been excellent and the full transparency is something I really value. I know if anything comes up we will know about it right away. Thank you for all that you guys do!”

“Our child began attending Good to Grow in August of 2020 and has been thriving ever since. She is always excited when we drop her off. The teachers are caring and sweet and extremely helpful, especially to us first time parents! She absolutely adores Heather! Amanda, the Director, is passionate and thoughtful. We are so glad to have found Good To Grow!!”

“The process of finding a daycare in the Seacoast area is grueling and choosing Good to Grow ended up being the very best decision for my little guy and our family. He has grown and learned so much in the last year! And I cannot say enough about how amazing all the staff has been since we started.”

“I have been so happy with our experience at Good to Grow for my two children! The staff is caring and competent, and I feel my children are in a safe, happy, and quality learning environment. The director, Amanda, has excellent communication and is relatable and compassionate. In the preschool program, I love the thematic units and play-based learning. My family has been at Good to Grow for two years and will continue!”
