Children Learn Through Play
We're Growing Bear Daycare And Preschool, Inc. - Jessie Waters, Owner, and we've been a childcare and school-age care program in Waukon, IA, since 1997. We've specialized in child care for 25 years, and we offer infant programs, toddler programs, preschool programs, summer programs, and more. We've been taking care of kids for generations of family fun learning. Our goal is to provide a safe atmosphere for children so parents feel confident to go to work and know that their children are safe and well cared for. We work with parents and their schedules to be as flexible as possible. We’re looking forward to partnering with Lansing, Decorah, and Harpers Ferry consumers to continue to offer a premier child care experience. We’d like to personally invite you to stop by to learn more about our programs, today!

"My two girls have been attending Growing Bear for the past several months and our experience has been amazing. Through a very difficult transition, Jessie and all their teachers were so loving, caring, and supportive. I also love the flexibility Jessie offers for care, with this flexibility we are able to keep daycare costs much more affordable, and maintain jobs that have varied schedules. I can’t thank the staff and Jessie enough!"
