WELCOME!
Welcome to The Growing Place where we are committed to Tilling the soil of our students imagination, while Growing their lives through quality whole-child education, as we assist in Planting them for a successful future.
We are a ministry of Radiant Life Church desiring to aid the child and family during these developmental, early childhood years. The facility and staff are committed to creating and environment that nurtures a child spiritually, socially, physically, and intellectually.
We are a state licensed facility that abides by all rules and regulations, plus our own standards of excellence. Our license is posted in the hall outside the school office, with all rules governing this center available upon request.
Classes are from 9:00am to 3:00pm daily, with AM & Enrichment/Afternoon classes available. Doors are open from 9:00-9:15am with drop off available under the portico. Pick up time for morning class is 11:30-11:45am or 3:00-3:15pm if your student stays all day with us. We will put your child/children in the car for you, however state law does not allow us to buckle them in, so we ask that you pull forward or pull into a spot to buckle them up, so we can keep our line moving.
We do offer early morning care from 8:00-9:00am for an additional fee.
Our tuition is an annual amount that is divided up over the nine months we are in session, from September to May and is payable regardless of sick days, vacations, or pandemics. Tuition is due by the 5th of each month.
Any student remaining after the designated pick-up times will be accessed a fee of $5.00 per 15-minute segment.

CLASSES & CURRICULUM
Our toddlers introduce the state early learning curriculum program. They work on letters, shapes, and colors. Cutting, writing and drawing are also introduced. Learning to share and social skills are a daily objective as well.
Three year old classes use the Pathways for Preschool Christian Curriculum along with learning every day social skills.
The pre-K four-year-old classes will concentrate on letters, letter sounds and recognizing numbers 1-20 using the Footsteps for Fours Christian Curriculum, along with the requirements set forth by our local school districts for Kindergarten readiness.
The Sept. 5’s class is designed for kiddos who need an extra year before moving on to Kindergarten. This class will reinforce all they learned in our Pre-K class as well as challenge them with more sight words, math, reading, and writing.
