Growing Children of Rhode Island, located just north of the old South Road School, is a school that aims to nurture the creative minds and spirits of young children by immersing them in an arts-based education. Specializing in child care, preschool and kindergarten, it is a clean and safe environment to leave a child in according to the faculty.

The center operates with a no closed door policy, which means that not only are parents allowed to come in at will and participate, no door with the exception of the facility's main door is ever fully closed.
