  • Each day, your child moves between structured group activities, one-on-one with teachers, and indoor and outdoor play. In everything we do, the focus is on developing critical foundational skills in language arts, math, science, social skills and personal expression. And we're always attentive to the unique personality, interests and needs of your child, suggesting appropriate activities to keep them happy and engaged.

“I wish for everyone to help create a strong, sustainable movement to educate every child about food, inspire families to cook again and empower people everywhere to fight obesity.”

Jamie Oliver
TED2010

This is something we do every day here at The Grove School. Our curriculum teaches kids how to make good food choices. We introduce gardening and the basic concepts of how to grow our own foods. And our daily menus include fresh, nutritious and delicious meals that help children to grow stronger physically and mentally.

In Jamie’s TED Talk, I was most impressed by his idea to have every child leave high school with 10 healthy recipes they can use to cook for themselves as they go through college and life. What a practical and empowering bit of knowledge to instill in our children.
