Growing Place

Growing Place is committed to providing the young children of working families with an exceptional quality, all-day, year-round early education program. We are a learning community sustained by a close collaboration of parents, teachers, and students. We believe that children are competent learners, capable of engaging fully with ideas and the world around them. We are committed to hiring, developing and supporting the best teaching staff possible. Teachers and children research and co-construct knowledge and foster curiosity, experimentation and the expression of ideas. Teachers use documentation of the process of learning to revisit the childrens ideas and to include parents in the life of the school. Through the continuing evolution and enrichment of Growing Place sites, we acknowledge the role of the environment in childrens development. Growing Place believes that education should focus on each child in relation to a community of others, rather than each child in isolation. ...
