6 Acres of Room to Play
We are lucky to have 6 beautiful wooded acres on a hilltop overlooking scenic Sparta Glen. We have 2 playgrounds, open play fields, & a scooter & trike area.
Curriculum
Our hands-on academic & developmental toddler and preschool curriculum has a new theme every 2 weeks, filled with fun activities which promote growth, building memory and promoting curiosity, persistence, cooperation, problem-solving, and school readiness in the areas of language/literacy, physical & socio/emotional health, science, math, creative arts, and social studies.
Experienced Educators
Each classroom is staffed with an experienced, mature lead teacher who has a degree in education, child development, or related child field.
Our Philosophy: the Whole Child Approach
We believe a child’s need to explore their world through nature, play, and the arts is sacred. Our goal is to instill a lifelong love of learning.
Supporting a child’s socio-emotional and interpersonal development to promote self-confidence, resilience, kindness, and empathy is equally important to us as school readiness at Garden Grove.
Our nurturing & experienced staff of educators, beautiful campus, experiential learn and play zones, and standards of excellence truly make us different.
Our goal is for you to feel totally comfortable entrusting your child with us while they are in our care, and that they will be safe and nurtured physically, educationally, and emotionally at all times. We believe including and involving parents in our school as much as possible is a key component to children’s health during this key developmental stage, and as such, we consider each enrolled child’s family an extension of our school family.
Parent Involvement
We are excited to regularly share your child’s progress with you via our parent/guardian communication tool in our school management software app, as well as during conferences twice per year. Active communication between teachers and families allows for collaboration. Our staff go out of their way to form relationships with our parents, and we invite parents to our campus to participate in special events and volunteer opportunities throughout the year.
