The Room To Grow is a licensed, non-profit preschool dedicated to fostering a love of learning in young children. Moving to its location on Mission Street, the center continues its decades-long tradition of offering a play-based curriculum that balances social-emotional development with cognitive growth. The school is known for its experienced teaching staff and its commitment to creating a diverse, inclusive community where every child has the space to develop at their own unique pace.

“The outdoor space is an extension of the classroom. Children can move freely in and out for the majority of the day, and projects often extend outside as well. Our diverse and talented teaching team brings their unique interests to the classroom. Children can expect to have regular and frequent exposure to movement exploration, music and singing, yoga, storytelling and story dictation, cooking and baking, as well as the myriad projects that emerge from the unique interests of the community of children throughout the year.”
