Experienced and educated teachers design programming to meet the needs and goals of each child. Growing Places sets itself apart through an understanding that the core of early education is in the development of healthy and trusting relationships between children, teachers and parents. Children learn best when there is a strong partnership between home and school.
We value open and honest communication, and we work to build nurturing and trusting partnerships with families. Our teachers see the unlimited potential in each child and recognize the opportunity and responsibility we have to help children build a strong foundation for future success. Growing Places Teachers understand that every moment matters: their interactions are respectful and responsive, validating children's feelings.

TimberNook is an outdoor program that offers all children therapeutic benefits through creative outdoor play. Our programs integrate sensory experiences, imagination, and nature. We inspire kids to play, learn, and explore through stories, games, and unique experiences. Unfortunately Growing Places is unable to offer Timbernook programming for the Summer of 2021, but we are looking forward to seeing you all in the woods soon!.
