Growing Station Preschool & After care

🎁 It’s Giving Season at Growing Station! 🎁

Each year, we pray for ways to give back and share God’s love beyond our walls and this year, we’re so excited to partner with Samaritan’s Purse: Operation Christmas Child! ❤️

Through this charity, children around the world get the chance to receive a simple shoe box filled with gifts, hope, and the message of Jesus. 🌍✨

Our Growing Station families have been invited to pack a shoe box (we provide the box) for a boy or girl in one of the following age groups:
👶 Ages 2–4
🎨 Ages 5–9
🎧 Ages 10–14

Each box becomes a special Christmas blessing, reminding a child that they are seen, loved, and never forgotten by God. 🙏💖

We still have 5 shoeboxes left for anyone who feels led to join in!
If you’d like to help, please stop by the office to pick one up and return it on or before Monday, November 3rd.

Let’s come together as a Growing Station family to share the joy of Jesus this Christmas season!

🎉 We’re in the TOP 10%! 🎉

We’re thrilled to announce that Growing Station has officially ranked in the top 10% for quality among early childhood programs in the entire state of Virginia! 🌟

This recognition reflects our commitment to excellence, nurturing care, and creating a safe, engaging environment where every child can thrive. 💛
