Our mission is to provide a Christian environment where preschoolers (birth through pre-kindergarten) can safely play, grow, and learn about their relationship with God, others, and the world. The Growing Place is a half-day weekday preschool located here at Aversboro. We are committed to providing a loving, nurturing, and safe environment in which your child develops spiritually, socially, and academically.

CURRICULUM
A theme-based curriculum is used for all age groups. The whole-group and center-based instructional activities emphasize the objectives each month. Students are encouraged to participate in creative thinking and reasoning, expressive free play, and practicing social and language development skills.
Teachers provide a monthly calendar, so parents can participate at home in reinforcing their child’s learning experience at The Growing Place.
