The Growing Room stands as a beacon in the San Ramon Valley, with roots tracing back to it’s humble beginnings in 1963 at Larson’s Childrens Center (a family owned company). The Growing Room is a California non-profit organization that began in 1989 opening 6 After-school programs in the San Ramon Valley Unified School District. The Growing Room Academy is a branch of these programs opening in 2013 for preschool through 1st grade ages.

The Growing Room is tenacious about the core values that have guided it’s journey from the very beginning: a belief in the inherent worth of every child, a commitment to fostering a love of learning, and a vision of education as a transformative force for the good in the world. We believe each teacher has a duty to nurture each child in respect and love to provide the best possible growth.
