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.
One of our favorite days of the month! 🎶
@benannaband always brings so much energy, laughter, and excitement to our classrooms.
Watching the children sing along, dance their hearts out, and completely lose themselves in the music is such a beautiful thing to witness!

In a world that moves fast, we try to slow things down. 💚
Fresh air.
Real play.
HEALTHY snacks.
Conversation.
Friendship.
Imagination.
The little things matter.
And often, those little things are what children remember most.

One letter at a time. 💚
Some days it’s the alphabet.
Some days it’s learning to wait for a turn.
Some days it’s finding the confidence to raise a hand.
The little things add up to big growth. 🌱

A little imagination goes a long way.
In a world filled with screens, we choose something different.
Building.
Creating.
Exploring.
Pretending.
Wondering.
Every day, our children are encouraged to use their imaginations, think creatively, and learn through hands on experiences that spark curiosity and joy.
Childhood is meant to be lived, not swiped.
