I’m very happy we made the move.
I have never seen my daughter so happy and bright and coming out of her shell as she has since starting at the grove. The educators are absolutely lovely and she is very happy and there always an educator there to update me on Cleo’s day.

Open and transparent communication
I am extremely happy with the way my son and myself have been made feel welcomed. He is still transitioning into care but has already formed great relationships with certain educators.
