Careers
We're looking for rare individuals. Teachers with degrees in early childhood or environmental education and a fire in the belly to make a difference. Administrators with a head for business and a heart for helping children reach their full potential. People who are so invested that they'll stay with us for years, growing and developing our educational community. Is that you?

  • how we started

    who we are

  • We listened to parents across the nation talk about preschool and heard a chorus. Like you, we want to immerse children in extraordinary educational opportunities. We want to prepare them for kindergarten, as well as to be lifelong learners. And we want to address pressing social issues such as children’s health and environmental sustainability.

    So we built that preschool from the ground up.

  • how we started

    who we are

  • The Grove School is possible because of our diverse team and parent company, Knowledge Universe. We have an incredible legacy of 30 years of research, professional expertise and insight into how preschool children learn and develop. This perspective allows us to unite the issues of our time and have a positive, enduring impact on our children, families and communities.
 
 
 

One of the unique things about The Grove School is that it’s truly being developed to offer an experience as opposed to a product. What do I mean? An experience is driven from a top down strategy and everything aligns with the strategy.

For example, The Grove School is about healthy body, healthy mind and healthy planet so everything follows those filters. The food is healthy, the curriculum is designed to spur creativity and curiosity, and materials and sensibilities are all focused on what’s good for the planet and instilling those values in our kids and our families.

The web is an incredible tool that helps further and validate the experience. The Grove School website itself is organic, built by a broad variety of people who all share a passion around the school and our families. Everyone is focused on issues that matter to parents, not corporate speak.

The site is an open forum. This is as new an approach to a school website as The Grove School is to preschool. The site is not a collection of buzz words, but is a forum that highlights unique perspectives and invites parents, educators, staff and anyone else to offer their opinions. Together, everyone will help build the site and the community of families at The Grove School.

Burt oversees outreach and online community building, which makes him responsible for all things digital. He wishes his 2 children, now 8 and 11, had something so socially conscious when they were younger.
