  • The Grove School is more than a place to drop off and pick up your kids. We’re in this together, raising smart, conscious children, and we want to hear from you. Dig in and share your knowledge.

 
 
 

We designed The Grove School to reflect what we believe is missing in preschool today–a true balance between education and fun. We represent the joy of learning. We’re giving children a stimulating and positive environment, with the right resources and access to fantastic teachers.

To make this possible one of our key commitments is to recruit and train the highest-caliber teachers. Our people are passionate, energetic and motivated to leave an indelible print on children so they’ll come out of our school prepared to be future leaders in what they do. There is a strong culture of empowerment throughout our organization, and especially at the teacher level.

Because of this, we’re creating positive memories as opposed to just educational experiences. If we do our part, children will carry these memories throughout their lives.

This year, my hope is that families who enroll their children at The Grove School will understand and appreciate the teaching that occurs here and the rich educational experiences our curriculum offers. It’s really all about how we’re using the environment and technology to prepare these children for the world they will live in.

I also hope to see a connected and flourishing community in each of the schools. More than just a preschool, The Grove School is a place for parents to connect, teachers to share best practices and for children to develop long lasting friendships.

Long term, I see us developing a larger community of schools across the country. Where families and teachers are able to interact digitally, socially and environmentally so we can create positive social experiences for children. If we do that, we’ll become known as one of the truly unique opportunities for the children and families we serve.

If I may be so kind as to say it, I’ve really enjoyed bringing The Grove School to life.

First a bit of background about me. I’ve been an entrepreneur in the education space for 18 years and have always enjoyed creating innovative and progressive organizations that focus on the needs of families, as well as children and their cognitive, social and emotional development. And so when I was asked to run The Grove School, I got excited about bringing together the right people, formulating a great team and moving from concept launch.

We have many fantastic people in our organization who have extensive educational experience. We also recruited top talent for specific skill sets. I asked around about individuals who were the most progressive, who would contribute substantively to a new brand and bringing it to market, and helping us move forward successfully.

Then I handpicked all seven people for our original team. I invited them and gave them the challenge. I told them this wasn’t a team where you can attend meetings and not contribute. They would truly frame and shape a wonderful new preschool experience.

With the team in place, we looked at best practices and got ideas from educators with 7-10 years of experience. We asked them about the challenges in early childhood education, and what would be the right way to proceed. We took that insight and formulated the school you see today.

There was also an aha moment. I remember a team meeting where I looked around the room. Everyone was contributing really great ideas and there were a lot of what-if questions. It was then that we decided not to put any barriers on our thinking. We knew we had the right people in the room and resources to make all of this happen.

That was the turning point. I realized this was unique and would resonate with families. Given the social and environmental consciousness of families today, we could align with their core values. We could truly extend what children are learning in their homes into a preschool environment.
