Each Growing Places classroom is an active learning community – developmentally appropriate, fun and educational.

Growing Places provides loving, safe, and engaging environments for children to explore through play in the company of responsive and interactive adults. Knowing that children learn at different rates, teachers intentionally plan curriculum based on individual observations and assessments.

A wide variety of enriching opportunities are designed to support children’s cognitive, social-emotional, language, and physical development. Teachers extend children’s learning by asking open-ended, thought provoking questions. Children’s development is documented through child assessments and portfolios.

Teachers in all classrooms use sign language as a means to promote early literacy skills. Music, dramatic play, and storytelling are also cornerstones of our program.

We value the importance of outside play. Teachers provide a balance of time for exploration as well as more structured activities that promote physical development, curiosity, and investigation of the natural environment.
