  My second son spent a year there as a pre-K before he left to join his brother at another school. He loved Growing Tree and keeps mentioning it after he left. The place is super clean and well organized. The teachers and staff are very helpful. When my son started out, he did not speak that much English and he had difficulty in keeping up with the rest of the class. His teacher, Ms. Saras, was extremely patient and helped him greatly make the adjustment to the new environment. The bilingual teaching (English and Chinese) was also a big plus. I strongly recommend this school for those families who want their children to start bilingual learning.

  My kid has been in this site for almost 2yrs! Can't believe how time flies! Ever since Miss Ting join the team this site has been a wonderful school for both my kid and me. They have lots of great activities and teachers are always warm and welcoming. My son loves his school. He learned a lot from his teachers and made lots of friends. He's leaving growing tree this year for TK, but we are thinking sending him to the after school program.

  Our 2 year old daughter goes here. Excellent pre-school for bilingual Chinese / English / some Spanish language education. The day is split between Mandarin teaching and English teaching for the kids. The teachers are all very caring and love kids, and they work hard. The classes are smaller sized, so your kid will get that extra attention. Tuition rates are competitive.The pre-school is also very well run by the administrators. They are very good at communicating with the parents: the daily curriculum, parent-teacher feedback day on how your child is doing, etc. The school is also very health conscious and our toddler is less sick here than at other schools. There are also many events & art projects for the students (summer, Halloween, Thanksgiving, etc.) We even had a recent Christmas performance for the parents from the students of the school where the students were singing and dancing xmas songs in both English and Mandarin!Highly recommend this preschool if you're looking for bilingual education for your child! The preschool is very well run.

  We toured this location and loved it!1. The directors and staff are wonderful! - The directors (especially Ms. Ting) and the teachers were all very impressive and you could tell everyone really cared about the students. When we toured the classrooms (both times) the teachers were very engaged with the students and actively teaching them. When kids cry - Ms. Ting would always spend a lot of time comforting them. The directors here are very accommodating and strive to make everyday a wonderful experience for both the child and parent.2. Very clean! - The classrooms, front office, bathrooms, playgrounds are well kept and very clean. They have janitors that come in daily and the surfaces are constantly being cleaned and sanitized.3. Lots of extra curricular options - this location plans extra events for holidays and festivals which is so much fun for the whole family. They also offer additional classes you can sign up for (dance class, art class etc) and you can tell they really care about each child's overall development.4. Bilingual program - we love that the curriculum is in both English and Mandarin.

  Our daughter has been going to Growing Tree for over a year, and she loves it. She went to this campus before, but we kept her at home for more than a year because of the pandemic. Because of this, we were worried she would be socially and emotionally unprepared to restart school. However, she adjusted without issue due to the warm and engaging staff and teachers. Some things we love about this school/campus are. 1. It's a Montessori school with a balanced curriculum. The school has recently upgraded its curriculum and academically based pre-k classes but is still very well-balanced. Kids learn and make progress in a fun and relaxing environment. As a result, they will be more ready by the time they start kindergarten. 2. It's a bilingual school, especially in Chinese and English. The school organizes many activities based on holidays, and kids are exposed to both cultures. 3. It's a safe and warm environment for students to learn and have fun. My daughter was shy when she started school. Now she is more active and doesn't want to leave school when we pick her up. 4. The school has recently introduced many extracurricular activities, including clay, dance, art, phonics, etc. The extracurricular teachers are also of high quality. 5. The school has lovely staff and teachers that stay engaged with us. The front office staff, Ms. Ting and Ms. Angie are very friendly and helpful. The pre-k classroom teachers, Ms. Abigail and Ms. Chunyin are awesome and super easy to communicate with. My daughter loves them. We feel it's home whenever we go to Growing Tree, and we highly recommend it to every parent.

  My daughter attended Growing Tree from about 1.5 to 2 years old until the lockdown. Recently she has started again at 3.5 years old and so far so good. It's a bilingual school (English/Chinese). All of the teachers and staff are really nice and attentive to the children. The curriculum is good and there are numerous physical and educational activities. Overall a pleasant and safe atmosphere.

  My daughter got a sty on her eye the second day we sent her to the summer camp at Growing Tree Learning Center. We took her to the doctor before we sent her in and the doctor confirmed that even though it'll be uncomfortable and painful sometimes, it's not contagious. We provided that information to the staff and the front desk lady even told us that she had sty eye before. But still, on the 5th day of the camp, when my daughter's eye condition has improved a lot, not as uncomfortable as before, less red, less swelling, the school staff called me 1 hour after I sent her in, asking to put an eye patch(I.e. a one-eye mask, the one often shows up in Pirates of Caribbean movie) on her. When I refused to do so and re-iterated that it's not contagious, they asked me to pick her up. My daughter told me later that they also asked her to put on an eye patch earlier but she refused. So my question is, my daughter didn't get a fever, didn't get a infectious disease, why was she asked to leave the camp? While the sty was red and swelling, like a pimple on face, her vision was not affected, she was not blind, why did they ask her to put on an eye patch, which would impair her vision and make the sty even worse, with the risk of infection? My daughter also mentioned that some kids at the camp insulted her, and threatened to punch her sty eye. So instead of using this opportunity to educate the kids about sympathy and compassion, GTLC expelled the little innocent girl, so that the other kids didn't need to watch a "red, ugly" eye? Considering that my daughter told me two days earlier that some teachers at this place was very "mean", it's not so hard to see reasons behind the staff's behavior. I would suggest any parent who cares about their child's character education avoid this place.

  In light of school closures, there has not been any consideration/grace for the 30 day withdrawal policy. Still requesting full tuition payment for afterschool services even though we have not sent our daughter there since school closure started.
