Little Grove Preschool Program
Must be at least 3 years old at the start of the semester.
Small Hands. Big Discoveries.
Led by Wonder, Guided by Curiosity
Welcome to a gentle beginning where wonder leads the way!
In Little Grove, our youngest learners step into their very first Learning Grove experience through play, exploration, and connection. Designed for children not quite ready for TK/Kindergarten, this Friday program offers a nurturing space where curiosity
is honored and childhood is cherished.
With a play-based and sensory-rich approach, each day is filled with hands-on discovery using authentic materials and real-world experiences. From scooping and pouring at the sensory table, to mixing colors in the art studio, to exploring textures outdoors, every moment is designed to engage the whole child.
Children are gently guided as they begin to separate, build confidence, and find comfort within a small, supportive community. Social-emotional learning is at the heart of everything we do, as little ones practice sharing, communicating,
and navigating friendships in meaningful ways.
Each Friday follows a calming and predictable rhythm, helping children feel safe, secure, and ready to explore.
Through songs, stories, movement, sensory play, and nature-based activities, students begin to develop independence, confidence, and a love of learning that will carry with them into our TK/Kindergarten program.
FRIDAYS 10 AM - 1 PM
Wonder & Play
A joyful introduction to learning through sensory exploration, imaginative play, and hands-on discovery.
Children will engage in water play, sand play, play dough, simple art experiences, and open-ended activities
that encourage creativity and curiosity. These invitations are designed to strengthen fine motor skills, support early
problem-solving, and allow children to explore at their own pace.
Stories & Connection
Where language, imagination, and belonging begin! Through songs, fingerplays, puppet stories, and interactive read-alouds, children build early language skills while connecting with one another in a warm and welcoming circle. This time nurtures listening, participation, and emotional expression, laying the foundation for future literacy and social confidence.

Is Your Child Ready To Participate In Our Program?
At The Learning Grove, we’re all about joyful learning, curiosity, and connection! To help your child get the most out of their experience, we ask that families take a moment to review the following readiness guidelines. We understand that some days are smoother than others (for little ones and big ones), but in general, students should be able to:
-
Be fully potty trained (including knowing when to go and managing toileting needs independently)
-
Wash hands and dress themselves with basic independence
-
Say goodbye to their grown-up and join in the fun
-
Show interest and willingness to participate in activities
-
Let us know if they need help or have a concern
-
Take part in group activities without needing constant one-on-one attention
-
Work through challenges without using physical or hurtful language
We’re here to support each child’s growth with care and compassion and these guidelines help create a safe and positive space for everyone to learn and thrive together!
