“My son is entering Grade one, and still I see and hear signs of his time at Growing Space. Helen is such a positive and supportive presence in his life.” – Erin Sinclair (Finn’s Mom)

“There’s so much to love about the school: the welcoming, clean, organized and purposeful room; the open-ended courtyard where kids go from playing superheroes to taking care of the communal garden; and Teacher Helen— who is so wonderful it’s hard to describe. The small nature of the school feels like a community of caring individuals who know the other parents and kids on a personal level”—Marina de Castro (Noah’s Mom)

“The care, attention, and experience teacher Helen brings to Growing Space is like no other. This is our 4th year here and I have seen my kids become more independent, emotionally engaged, and kind. The space is cosy and warm, and honestly, I’d stay all day if I didn’t have to work!”—Ashley Jardine (Domino’s Mom)

“Our daughter has been attending Growing Space for a couple of years now, and before that our older daughter attended. The space is bright, cheery, creative and surrounded by nature. Each child is given the care and attention they need—and their connection together feels truly special.”—Craig Pearce (Maeve’s Dad)

“We have had the most incredible experience watching our son grow and learn at Growing Space. His attachment and love for his teacher, his peers, and the space itself is heartwarming.” — Meghan Prince (Ronan’s Mom)

“Growing Space is my daughter’s second home. Teacher Helen is a fantastic educator, she is so attentive and patient with each little person under her care. My daughter loves running, climbing, gardening, and having lunch outside when the weather is nice.” — Ana Aguayo (Emilia’s Mom)

“We’ve loved Growing Space for our child’s first school experience. It’s been the perfect balance of calm, fun, structure, exploration, and learning. The teacher is phenomenal. She clearly puts the children first, while creating a learning environment that’s supportive to both the individual and the collective. The community is supportive and open to making connections.”—Shannon Nordling (Sammy’s Mom)
