Privacy Policy

Information we collect

We collect only the information you choose to submit through our website forms, which may include:

• Parent or guardian name and contact information (email, optional phone number)
• Child's first name (optional), birthdate, and age group
• Desired start date, schedule preferences, and general notes you provide
• Message content you send through our Contact form
• Your consent confirmation and the date and time of your submission

Please do not submit medical records, diagnoses, or other highly sensitive health information through our website forms. If you need to share that kind of information during enrollment, we'll collect it securely and in person.

How we use your information

We use the information you provide to:

• Respond to your inquiry or waitlist submission
• Communicate with your family about enrollment, tour announcements, and opening updates
• Plan classroom placement and staffing as we prepare to open

We do not sell your information. We do not share it with third parties for marketing.

How we protect your information

Submissions are stored in our secure hosted database with access limited to Growing Sprouts leadership. Data is transmitted over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection. We retain information only as long as needed to respond to your family and administer enrollment.

Cookies, analytics, and website measurement

We use Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google, to understand how visitors find and use our website. Google Analytics sets cookies or similar identifiers in your browser and collects technical information such as the pages you view, the approximate time spent on each page, referring links or search sources, your device and browser type, and a truncated (anonymized) IP address. We have enabled IP anonymization.

This information is aggregated and is not used to identify you personally. We do not use analytics data for advertising, and we do not sell it. We also use Google Search Console, which reports aggregated search performance data for our site and does not place cookies on your device.

You can opt out at any time by declining or clearing cookies in your browser settings, using your browser's "Do Not Track" or private browsing mode, or installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. Blocking these cookies does not affect your ability to browse the site or submit our forms. Our website does not use advertising or retargeting cookies.

Third-party services we rely on

To operate this website we use a small number of trusted service providers: our website host, our hosted database provider (which stores form submissions), our email delivery provider (which sends confirmations and updates you request), Google Analytics, and Google Search Console. These providers process information only on our behalf and are not permitted to use it for their own marketing.

Correction and deletion

You can request a copy of the information you've submitted, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it at any time by emailing info@growingsproutschildcare.com. We'll confirm your request and complete it as quickly as we reasonably can.

Children's information

Our website is intended for parents and guardians. Any information about a child is provided to us by their parent or guardian through our forms.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as our services evolve. The "last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect any changes.
