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.

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.

225px-Martin-Luther-King-1964-leaning-on-a-lectern Martin Luther King, Jr. stood for freedom, excellence, and dignity. As we officially open our doors to the families of our communities, I’m humbled by his accomplishments and our own mission. The Grove School seeks to teach Dr. King’s ideals through strong curriculum, highly qualified teachers, and building of community. One of his quotes describes it well:

“We must combine the toughness of the serpent and the softness of the dove, a tough mind and a tender heart.”

–From Martin Luther King, Jr.’s, Strength to Love
