  • Qualifications.

    Before children enroll at The Grove, they must be over 2 years and 6 months old and fully potty-trained. Children need to be able to go to the bathroom outside or in a portable bathroom. There are no indoor bathrooms.

  • The best fit.

    We’ve found that children who thrive the best have a sense of adventure, love getting dirty, and have the ability to communicate their feelings without crying. For example, “I have to go to the bathroom” or “I’m cold.”
