Program

At The Grove Academy, it’s in our nature to nurture, and this belief is embedded in everything we do and reflected throughout our education program. Our program is built on a simple belief: children learn best when they feel safe, supported and genuinely known.​

Our play-based program is inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach and shaped by children’s interests. Educators plan learning experiences each month based on what children are curious about, using hands-on resources and thoughtfully designed environments that encourage exploration, creativity and connection.​

Through our Daily Journal, educators share highlights of your child’s learning, play, friendships and achievements. These updates help you understand what your child experienced and how it supports their development.

Each child also has an individual Learning Journey, which captures their progress over time and celebrates both big milestones and everyday moments that matter.

Children’s Voice

Children's voices are at the heart of our program. Every day, children are encouraged to share their ideas, thoughts and creativity through conversation, play and self-expression. Their interests and perspectives help shape learning experiences, giving children a sense of ownership and belonging.

By listening to children and valuing their voices, we support them to develop confidence, communication skills and independence - essential foundations for lifelong learning.
