Welcome to
Growth and Early Learning
Growth & Early Learning is a wellness-based preschool dedicated to nurturing the whole child… body, mind, and soul. Our mission is to create a calm, joyful space where children can thrive, explore, and grow through meaningful experiences, nourishing foods, and genuine connection with their peers.
Our program runs from September through June, Monday through Thursday, from 9:30 AM to 12:30 PM. Each day offers a balanced blend of play, learning, and mindfulness in an environment that emphasizes a healthy body and a healthy mind.

We offer a blended program, meaning we thoughtfully incorporate elements from Montessori, Reggio Emilia, and traditional preschool approaches. This allows us to create a well-rounded, nurturing environment that focuses on the whole child academically, socially, and emotionally.
At Growth & Early Learning, we believe that childhood should be magical, grounded, and full of growth, both inside and out.
Not extra. Essential!
Time, space, and outdoor play aren’t “nice to have”… they’re what childhood is built on.

We were in a tropical mood with this beautiful weather ☀️
This week’s smoothie is a refreshing blend of pineapple, mango, papaya, and strawberries.

What snack time looks like at Growth & Early Learning!
Real food. No nonsense. Happy little bodies.

3 things we NEVER do at our preschool… and why 👇
1. We do not use screens
no tv. no ipads. no background noise.
because childhood isn’t meant to be watched… it’s meant to be experienced.
⠀
2. We do not use battery-operated toys
no flashing lights. no loud plastic chaos.
because overstimulation isn’t learning.
we choose simple, open-ended materials that spark imagination and creativity.
⠀
3. We do not serve sugar loaded, overly processed snacks
we focus on real, simple, nourishing food.
because what goes into their little bodies matters.
(and yes… even picky eaters learn to try new things here 👀)
