THE GROVE EARLY LEARNING CENTER

I love The Grove's use of the Reggio method. The Grove leadership is always looking for ways to improve and grow. They invest in their staff with professional development and are always evolving the classrooms. Leadership and teachers offer ways to create community among students and parents, which has created a great community for me and my child.

Our almost four year old and our 20 month old have been with The Grove for the past seven months and we couldn’t be happier. They love school and have become close with so many friends. The teachers are great and give us updates everyday. Both kids have learned so much and I love that they spend so much time outside. The administrators are very organized and easy to communicate with. I would highly recommend The Grove!

We had our daughter attending another daycare previously and decided to move her to the Grove when we found out a space was available. We were immediately blown away by how much the staff genuinely seem to care about the kids and embrace the chaos and messiness that is raising young children. The Grove's philosophy prioritizes outside play and getting hands dirty with all sorts of extremely creative activities perfect for little ones. The teachers always took time to tell us about our daughter's day and help thoughtfully navigate any challenge and milestone that came up along the way. I would recommend taking your children here if you want teachers that actually love what they do.

We started here in February 2024. Our older son started in the preschool room and our younger son started at the infant room at 12 weeks old. We have had a great experience. The staff is wonderful. They are always doing fun activities with the children. They value outdoor time. Our older son graduated pre-K and had a great first year at our public kindergarten, we felt he was well prepared. Our younger son is currently in the two’s room and loves going to school every day.

Both my kids have been at CCMCDC since they were 4 months. My daughter is now in the preschool room and my soon in the toddler room. I love CCMCDC and I'm so grateful for the many different ways everyone at the center contributes to my kids' growth and development. I love all the staff, the clear and consistent communication, the curriculum, how much fun the kids have while learning, the amazingly nutritious food, the activities and the intention and creativity behind them, the events and celebrations, and the different ways they involve the parents. Everyone is so caring and kind. My kids are seen and heard at this center and their approach to addressing behaviors is done in a way where feelings are not dismissed but validated, redirected and done with so much patience and grace. I can tell my kids are so happy and taken care of while they're at the center and it gives me and my husband so much peace of mind while we're working. I highly recommend this place and I know that even after my kids get older and have to leave, I will always speak highly of the amazing experience my kids have had while being part of the CCMCDC family. This center is one of the best things that has happened to our family and for that I'm forever grateful.
