Growing Brilliant

Growing Brilliant is a great starter for babies and toddlers. The staff is always responsible, friendly, and informative. My little one has been attending off and on for two years. This is a great program that allows parents to get involved with their children’s education.

I had heard of this place but had never been considering 1. its fairly new and 2. my boys are 7.
We came here for a birthday party.
It was SUPER fun! The place is absolutely adorable. If you have small humans, as in TODDLER humans, this is a great place for them.
They have activities to keep them engaged. now this is not a day care center where you just drop your kid off, you have to stay there and engage your child and such, which I think is great.
The little jumpy house they have there is absolutely adorable, it has a slide and the slide is an «elephant trunk»
Super adorable.
wish my kids were small again, to take them here.

I took my son to classes here when they first opened up in 2013. I just love the owner and staff. They are all passionate about their work and the children. The classes are so cute, they start off with an intro and music then move to art, sensory bins and then play. I now take my daughter here and she loves it too! So happy I found this gem!

What a great experience! I heard about this place on a facebook ad where they offered 3 free weeks to try it out and I’m so glad we did. My son Jaxon is 10.5 months old and we had our first «brilliant babies» class today (ages up to 12mo). The staff was so polite, friendly, and of course great with kids. Their songs, baby sign language, and activities were great for Jax to learn and play. It was also fun as a parent. Seeing everyone getting to interact with their babies was enjoyable. Plus the discovery time, when the babies all get to mingle, was a great socializing opportunity for my son who doesn’t have friends his age. I can’t wait for our next class. They have many options and classes to choose from and the prices are very reasonable, especially for a parent like me on a budget! Highly recommended!

I really wanted to like this place. The ladies who work there are very sweet. I took my 14 month old here for 2 months. We started with «brilliant babies» then switched to «music and movement» in the hopes that the latter class would be more interactive. Unfortunately, the classes were repeats of «brilliant babies» and we grew bored of the exact same class just repeating itself each week.
Maybe the programs for older kids are more exciting but for now I don’t see the logic in paying $ 76/​month for classes that are similar to those offered for free by our local library.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! I was very skeptical about the price in the beginning. I signed up for the first free class and planned to probably only do that because I couldn’t justify the price otherwise. Then I saw they had a groupon deal for a month and couldn’t pass up that! Now we’re hooked! My daughter loves coming here! She immediately wants out of my arms to go have fun and play. All the employees and teachers are amazing. Excellent customer service! The owner, Lisa, is also fantastic! I called a couple times and sent a few emails and she was always the one to get back to me with a speedy reply! Who doesn’t love that?! Did I mention she was on maternity leave? And she was still going above and beyond. It is clear their passion and what they stand for. They always give a very welcoming hello along with calling her by name! Go check it out. Trust me :)

Growing Brilliant is AMAZING! Lisa and the teachers are so sweet! The place is clean and organized! They do such a wonderful job with the kiddos!

Wonderful wonderful experience!
I’m a Grandma taking my Grandson to class and I can’t tell you what fun we both have!
The environment is bright and lively it’s absolutely spotlessly clean and the teachers are phenomenal. They always greet everyone by name as you soon as you enter the door and all through class. There is music, singing, storytime, dance time and just good old-​fashioned playtime.
Great place for new moms to network and ol’grandma’s to make special memories.
I 100% recommend it!

I would say that this review is long overdue but it actually isn’t, I purposely waited six weeks in order to have an accurate assessment of the situation over there. Spoken like a true skeptical & nervous new mom, I know.
So, rewind about six weeks and there I was flipping through emails and I see an offer from Growing Brilliant via Livingsocial. I start doing some research to find out more about the place, came here to their Unilocal page and read through all the material on their website, even watched the videos. Next step was to call and get some questions answered, questions like «any recommendation for a first class… for this age group… these interests… short attention span etc» Chanel was very sweet, patient and helpful (I called a few different times).
Most places would jump at the chance to fly through a discounted tuition period but not Growing Brilliant in Rocklin, they suggested that I try a free trial class before even using the Livingsocial voucher. Now THAT shows confidence in the program (and I would soon see why).
First day for Little Learner’s class with a SUPER SHY and apprehensive toddler: Walk in and the place is sparkling clean. There are a lot of toys and puzzles for the kids to play with but without being cluttered… and SAY WHAT?! A BOUNCE HOUSE?!
We were the first to arrive for «creative free play» which starts thirty minutes before class and we were immediately greeted by the staff (Chanel, Kelsey and Kaitlyn) we felt very welcome and acknowledged. I couldn’t have been more grateful that every opportunity they had they engaged with my little one, this was something he VERY MUCH NEEDED. Kaitlyn happily wandered around with us to help us learn the lay of the land.
Reception is always incredibly sweet and warm upon arrival by Miss Chanel as it is upon departure. Time goes quickly, the themes change through the weeks but the songs and the class structure remain the same (which helps the kids AND sleep deprived parents). I couldn’t recommend this class more and am always eager to share my experience and encouragement for other parents to try a Growing Brilliant class. Miss Kelsey is phenomenal with the little ones regardless of how attentive they are that day.
I am always seeing specials online for the first month (at around half price) and I think it’s a beautiful plan because once you go for a month, you can’t imagine not providing the experience every week for your kid. In fact, I am bumping to two days a week as it seems like the way to go (financially and socially). You can’t go back in time so why not provide a wonderful learning environment and create wonderful memories (and sketchy refrigerator artwork) with your little sponge of a munchkin NOW?
At the very least let them treat you to a trial class, what do you have to lose aside from a happy and tuckered mini-​you?
*Thank you Lisa, so happy and proud to be a part of something so special. Here is to an epic second year and many more after

I have been taking my daughter here for almost a year and couldn’t be happier with the teachers, the clean space, and all the new friends my daughter and I have made. Now that my son is old enough, he will be attending classes as well!

My son LOVES his music class! We have been going since last August when Growing Brilliant opened. The instructors are knowledgable and very friendly. We live in Folsom, so I really wish there was a Growing Brilliant here!

I signed my son up when he was just 6 months old for the Brilliant Babies class. Over the next couple months he learned so much! He understood what was going on and new what to expect. It was so great to see his face light up with excitement when we sang songs and played games. He and I will miss coming here so much! When you guys open up a shop in WA, let us know, we will be first in line!

I’ve been bringing my daughter here for 6 months and I can’t say enough great thing about it. The teachers are amazing, the schedule is flexible, and my daughter is learning so much and making wonderful friends. It’s always a positive environment and so much fun. The price is comparable to most, but if you add a second class, it’s a better deal. We love it here and will likely enroll our daughter in their preschool and will enroll our baby soon too.

Growning Brilliant is one of the best things to happen to Rocklin. The owners are such great people and have put all their heart and dedication into picking the perfect teachers and designing/​formulating the best possible classes to develop children. Also their babysitting and nanny placement service is a fantastic addition to their list of benefits. I couldn’t be more excited to have this learning center as apart of the community.

My kids had been enrolled to the Little Gym, Gymboree, Kindermusik, Flip 2 it and preschools. I like Growing brilliant because of the people who works there. They are friendly, smart and very nice. The way the furnishings are set up is really good, too. The place is clean and there’s plenty of manipulatives and puzzles that the kids can play with. I most specially like the idea that they have a free play 30 minutes before a class.
If your absent from a class your child can make up for it which I really like. They are quite lenient so the monthly fee is not wasted. Other centers lack enough classes on days when I am available or they are strict that you can only attend the class your enrolled in so I sometimes end up paying monthly dues and not being able to actually attend the classes.
My child also likes to walk around the fountains outside. He’s got this huge smile on his face when he sees his shadow (noon time) and look at the water. Afterwards we sometimes go to Prime Wok to have lunch.
The place is clean and they got WiFi! Growing brilliant also has drinking water, coffee, tea and also snacks for the little ones. The place is very organized, clean and safe. I like bringing my child here even though he still cries from time to time and just wants to play with the toys there instead of joining the class. I just enrolled him so I hope that eventually he will be able to sit still and join the group till the end of his 30 min. class.

We stumbled upon Growing Brilliant via a Living Social deal and boy are we glad that we did!
We are new to the area and didn’t know what education centers were nearby. I think we got very lucky.
Our timing couldn’t have been more perfect as Growing Brilliant had just opened recently and everything was new, clean, fresh and exciting.
The teachers and staff are experienced and it’s obvious that they enjoy what they do.
Our daughter quickly felt comfortable and all of the myriad of activities that Miss Lisa prepared for her students.
We especially liked the Kindergarten Readiness class. It was a perfect blend of play and educational preparation filled with activities and knowledge for eager young minds.
Thank you, Growing Brilliant!

My daughter was having difficulty with reading and has fallen almost a year behind despite extra effort and dedication. When asked for guidance from the school we were basically told they did not have any resources to help her. And that she just may be one of those that will not do very well academically (this is a Roseville Public School by the way). All the other education centers offered some guidance but it was just a general curriculum and non specific to my child’s difficulties. Growing Brilliant completed a full assessment and created a specific curriculum to meet my daughters special needs. She is now thriving. I am so happy with her progress. A true Reading Specialist is so hard to find but this place has one of the best out there. I can’t wait to sign my son up for some of their other classes when they get their new center open.
