On Friday, September 25, Celebree School of The Woodlands Creekside will welcome families, and local businesses to their Grow Big Community Festival. Owners Shruti Jindal and Gaurav Goyal share the inspiration behind the event and what families can expect this year.
What is the Grow Big Community Festival?
Shruti and Gaurav: The Grow Big Community Festival is a tradition centered around family-friendly activities and celebrating the many ways children grow. Children will explore hands-on âGrow Stationsâ inspired by themes such as Grow Curious, Grow Creative, Grow Strong, Grow Healthy, Grow Kind, Grow Brave, and Grow Together.
Entry to the event is free and the families can enjoy interactive activities, games, food, entertainment, and opportunities to connect with local businesses.
Why did you decide to create this event?
In 2025, when we became owners of Celebree School of The Woodlands Creekside, we envisioned the school to be more than a place where families drop off and pick up their children. We wanted it to be a place where children, families, educators, local businesses and neighbors could build meaningful connections. We are proud to mention that we were awarded by The Business Rate as The Best of 2026 Daycare Center in Spring, TX
We believe that raising and educating children is a community effort. The festival gives families an opportunity to spend time together while discovering the wonderful people, businesses, and resources available within our own community.
How does the festival connect with the schoolâs story?
September is especially meaningful to us because it marks the anniversary of our schoolâs growth. During this past year we have built strong connections with our local community. This is our way of giving back to our community.
Last year we had our grand-opening celebration, which was a tremendous success, with over 30 local vendors and community partners participating. Representatives from all three local chambers â The Woodlands Area Chamber of Commerce, The Tomball Area Chamber of Commerce, and Houston Northwest Chamber of Commerce; joined us in celebrating our school and its purpose. It created an incredible sense of connection and showed us how much families value opportunities to come together.
We truly believe in Celebree's mission to "Grow People Big and Small" and success of our last year's event inspired us to start this annual tradition as we continue to grow alongside our community.
Will the festival be held every year?
Yes! The Grow Big Community Festival will be celebrated every September. We hope it becomes an event that our community look forward to year after year.
As the school and community continue to grow, we want the festival to grow with themâwelcoming new families, highlighting local organizations and creating new memories each year.
What can families expect at this yearâs event?
Families can expect an energetic evening featuring interactive childrenâs activities, games, local vendors, food, music, family entertainment and school tours. Plans also include festival favorites such as bounce house and face painting.
This is not a traditional vendor fair. Participating organizations are encouraged to offer creative, hands-on experiences that allow children to explore, participate and have fun.
Who is invited?
Everyone! The festival is open to the entire community, not only currently enrolled Celebree families. Bring your friends, relatives and neighbors and celebrate with us.
Families exploring preschool or before- and after-school care for ages 6 weeksâ10 years can also meet the Celebree team. They can also schedule a tour for any day this September and ask about Celebree's limited enrollment promotion.
The Grow Big Community Festival will be held on Friday, September 25, from 4:30â6:30 PM, at Celebree School of The Woodlands Creekside, 8615 W Rayford Rd, Spring, TX 77389.
Admission is free, and RSVP is encouraged (click here to RSVP) to help the school plan accordingly. Come grow, connect and celebrate with the community!
