Here We Grow provides Christian, Reggio inspired early childhood education for children ages 16 months – 5 years. Serving the families of Eagle Lake, Kasota, Mankato, Nicollett, North Mankato, St. Clair, and St. Peter. The setting provides the ideal location for outdoor and experiential learning! Our hours of operation are Monday-Friday, 6:45am-5:45pm. Located 1.5 miles off Highway 14 in Mankato, on nearly 2 acres, our entire backyard is fenced in creating nearly 1 acre of fenced in outdoor play area in a serene, yet accessible setting. Additionally, our staff is comprised of 5 full-time staff members, fostering our philosophy that children benefit from consistency and helping us work to develop partnerships with families in their child’s learning. We were purposeful in creating a smaller center, with a maximum enrollment of 34 total children; 14 Toddlers and 20 Preschoolers.
