Member Spotlight - Grow at Eden
Grow at Eden Early Learning Center (Eden) in Pittsburg, Kansas, is more than a childcare center, it’s an investment in families, the community, and the regional economy. Eden creates nurturing, beautifully designed spaces where children can thrive and families can fi nd high-quality care that fi ts their lives.
Founded in 2020 by Kandy Rushing, Eden began as a small center licensed for 60 children and has grown into a trusted resource across Southeast Kansas. Rooted in Montessori principles, Eden supports children from birth through school age with caring teachers, hands-on learning, and thoughtfully prepared, screen-free environments that encourage independence, creativity, and curiosity. Today, the team operates centers in Parsons, (138) children, Iola (60), and soon in Pittsburg, serving more than 250 children.
The newly renovated Washington School Campus in Pittsburg marks Eden’s largest expansion yet, bringing up to 50 new jobs to Crawford County. The historic building has been transformed into eight bright, child-centered classrooms, each designed for independence and joy, from child-sized restrooms and low-level sinks to soaring ceilings and abundant natural light.
Eden’s “whole child” philosophy extends beyond academics. Daily movement, hands-on play, and scratch-made meals promote healthy growth and balance, all of which are a part of Eden’s mission to help every child grow in mind, body, and spirit.
