We are better together.

The Families page at The Grove Early Learning Center is your hub for “everything in one place.” Here you’ll find the current Family Handbook, monthly menus, annual calendar, and classroom and center-wide wish lists. It’s also where we post newsletters and important updates, like weather closure information and reminders about special events.

We see your family as part of our community, not just a name on a roster. That’s why we invite you to read in classrooms, share your skills, help with events like Trunk or Treat or Mud Day, and support teachers with small acts of encouragement. Together, we create the kind of environment where children feel surrounded by caring adults at home and at school.

  • Do you play an instrument or have another interesting skill? Come share it with the class!
  • Chaperone a class field trip
  • Bring snacks for teachers
  • Donate supplies for a special class project (teachers will share these needs as they arise)
  • Volunteer for special events like Trunk or Treat, Mud Day, or our Christmas celebration
