Geneseo Development & Growth #2, Geneseo

Growth, Inc. is not-for-profit child care center licensed by the Illinois Department of Children & Family Services. This means that the staff and the center meet state regulations for quality child care. Growth, Inc. was established in 1974 to provide quality child care to Geneseo and the surrounding communities. During the past 30 years, Growth, Inc. has grown substantially. Beginning in Sue Sieben’s basement as a preschool program, we quickly expanded to the Trinity Episcopal Church and offered a full day child care program for 30 children. Then in January 1981, Growth, Inc. moved to the Congregational Parsonage to further expand the number of children to 38. In September of 1981, Growth began offering additional child care for children ages 6 weeks-12 years at the First United Methodist Church. We continued to expand that facility until 1985, then we reached our capacity of 56 children. In March of 1991, Growth, Inc. moved to our current location adjacent to the Geneseo Community Center. We are currently licensed for 156 children ages 6 weeks-12 years.
