    safety

  • We hold our school to the highest safety, cleanliness and maintenance standards. The building is accessible via a single-entry security system with keypad access. There's daily sign in and out for each child. And we follow strict parent/guardian identification procedures. We also regularly inspect our building and playground to ensure that your child is safe and secure with us.

  • 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 have been running weekly story times and play dates for almost a month now. Every Tuesday and Thursday we hold a story time from 10:30 to 11:30. On Wednesdays we hold a play date from 10:00 to 12:00. We love having these times to invite families into our school and to participate in story telling, learning, playing and connecting.


During all of these times, we share books and other literacy based activities. After all, learning to read is paramount! We also include activities that engage students in hands on learning and the exercise of creativity and imagination. Obviously, during our play dates, we PLAY! It is important for children to have play time together. One of our specialties at The Grove School is to create play time that is also instructional. I love it when our teachers craft activities where the children think they are playing, and they are, but also include very specific learning objectives. This is a win-win for all involved. Finally, we love the story times and play dates because they give parents an opportunity to connect one with another while their children are engaged in the activities. One of our goals is to help create and participate in a positive community and providing an opportunities for parents to interact with one another is one of the ways we can do this.

I invite all to participate in these fun times. No need to call in advance. Just show up and have fun!
