  • We designed our playground to appeal to your child’s boundless curiosity. There’s a greenhouse and raised beds for growing flowers and vegetables. Outdoor instruments like drums and marimbas for creating an imaginary band. A stage for putting on plays. And sand and shallow water areas for digging and making sand castles. All of our outdoor activities balance teacher-led instruction with plenty of free play.

    safety

  • The Grove School's building was deliberately redesigned to foster increased learning while being environmentally conscious. We use natural light wherever possible, which improves concentration and conserves energy. Recycled rubber flooring, sustainably harvested materials and low-VOC paint make the school a healthy place to learn while reducing our impact on the planet. We also filter both the air and water.

 
 
 

We had our first sanitation inspection today since we’ve opened the doors. You may not know, but these inspections are unannounced. Our inspector came today around 1:00. He visited our kitchen, every classroom and even our outdoor classroom. He checked water temperatures, cleaning practices, safety of chemicals and equipment, and even inspected our composting bin.

He said we did very well and we received the highest rating of SUPERIOR. We almost had a perfect score. The only thing we lost 2 points on was for the spray bottles we use in our restrooms and diapering tables. It turns out that we mixed the bleach at the incorrect concentration. The good news about this is that he let us know of a new product that was approved by the state that does not contain bleach. Many of our parents have expressed concern over the use of bleach. I have recently discovered that I am allergic to bleach, so on a personal level, I am thrilled.

When he left, he said we have a wonderful facility and was very impressed with our school. I was just glad the inspection was over and that we performed well. We will have another one the last half of the year.
