At Growing Room, our goal each day is to provide an enriching environment with nurturing teachers and a planned, developmentally-appropriate curriculum for Infants 6 weeks – preschool.
Growing Room Tallahassee opened its first child development center on January 4, 2010 at 2636 Centennial Place near Capital Circle NE and Fleishmann Road. Our second center opened on August 17, 2010 at 6266 Old Water Oak Road off Thomasville Road north of Chili’s. Our third center, 1271 Metropolitan Boulevard, in the Metropolitan Center at I-10 and Thomasville Road opened on May 7, 2012. We are open Monday through Friday from 6:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
"We absolutely love this school and couldn’t be happier with the care our two daughters receive. The staff is kind, attentive, and truly invested in my babies. Our girls are excited to go every day and have grown so much socially and emotionally. We feel confident knowing they’re in a safe, loving, and supportive environment, and we highly recommend this preschool to any family."
Owners, Johnny and Catherine Lee, were born and raised here in Tallahassee and have been life long residents. They have three grown daughters and truly love calling Tallahassee home. As parents highly involved in their children’s growth and development, Catherine and Johnny became very interested in opportunities and venues which would offer them a quality experience. This led to their interest in owning a Preschool. Having now realized this dream, they are more than just owners. Each is intimately involved in the daily operation and long term growth of the Preschool programs. They are easily accessible and can be found in the centers daily, welcoming the parents and children that are now a part of the Growing Room Family. Please come by and meet them today!
