Thank you for considering Growing Space—we’re excited to be in community with you.

Programming

At Growing Space, we offer an inspired style of childcare by blending key points of Montessori and play-based philosophies to create a calm atmosphere for children between the ages of 30 months and 5 years of age for 2 to 5 days per week.

Our primary intention is to provide a lively, dynamic and joyful place where children engage in a variety of activities while encouraging socialization and cooperative play.

Our integrated program offers art, music, numeracy, literacy, science and creative play. Growing Space’s peaceful and non-competitive setting believes in “I can do this” while nurturing each child’s natural love and sense of wonder. Small by design, Growing Space is a place where children of different ages, interests, and abilities share the same loving, home-like setting.

Our childcare is flexible by nature and Helen will work with each family to curate a schedule that suits your family’s needs.
