Explore. Discover. Grow!

GROW Preschool is passionate about inspiring young minds to love learning from the youngest of ages. Through play-driven and discovery-based learning, we engage the natural curiosity of young children, guiding them to explore the marvelous world around them.

The GROW Preschool schedule is built to fit the developmental needs of early childhood years. Classroom activities nurture them, not just academically, but spiritually, socially, emotionally, and physically, as well.

Parent inclusion is what makes GROW Preschool unique! Each school day ends with Family Circle Time, so parents can be part of the classroom experience!

GROW Preschool runs from September through May. Tuition is calculated on an annual basis and divided into 9 equal installments (paid August through April). Monthly tuition is not prorated for holidays, school closings, or absences as these have already been calculated into our monthly rates. Tuition is to be paid by the first of the month through directed withdrawals or monthly invoicing facilitated through FACTS Management. A $55 fee is charged by FACTS to set up monthly payment plans. The fee is reduced to $25 if families opt for an annual or semi-annual payment plan. No financial aid is available for preschool.

 

EXTENDED DAY OPTIONS

GROW Preschool offers before-school care for families seeking an earlier drop-off time on school days. Participants in this program may drop their child off between 8:00 and 8:45 AM for early morning play in our early childhood playroom and outdoor play area. To participate, families complete the required paperwork and pay a monthly before-school care fee of $45 for 2-day students and $60 for 3-day students.

Grow Preschool Curriculum

GROW Preschool is centered on the HighScope curriculum.

HighScope is a research-based curriculum designed to build a rich academic foundation for children and foster their creativity and independence.  Learning goals are reached through a carefully designed combination of teacher-child interaction, a vibrant learning environment, a well-rounded daily routine, and ongoing student assessment.

Special Classes

Bible Study: Cross Connections

We listen to God’s Word, praise Him, and pray to Him.

Physical Education: Spark PE

We build a foundation for a healthy lifestyle through activities that develop strength, balance, and coordination.

Music & Movement: MusicPlay

We explore rhythm, instruments, and vocal training as we dance and move!

The Grow Parent Connection

Children thrive when their parents are involved in their learning. Schools thrive when parents and teachers act as partners. This core value shapes GROW Preschool and makes it unique.

Each day at 2:15 PM parents and younger siblings are invited and encouraged to attend Family Circle Time. Here students can share what they learned at school, parents can participate in the classroom environment, and teachers can share announcements and updates. These powerful fifteen minutes will shape the GROW Preschool culture and help us thrive together!
