Small groups, predictable hours, care that grows with your child from infancy through preschool.
We're actively enrolling and scheduling tours. One space remains in our Preschool Program for this cohort. Our Infant Program is full, and we're keeping a short waitlist for the next opening.
When comparing early childhood programs, we encourage families to consider total coverage. Many programs in our area close at 3:00pm or 4:30pm, requiring separate aftercare arrangements that add up quickly.
Glenwood Grove is open Monday through Friday, 8:00am to 5:30pm. The rate you see here is the complete cost of care, with no aftercare to arrange and no summer scramble.
We're a year-round program located just a short walk from Vine Hill Elementary (0.3 miles). During the school year we follow the Scotts Valley Unified School District calendar so families with older children at Vine Hill or anywhere in SVUSD have one consistent schedule and one drop-off neighborhood. We close for district holidays and a handful of other non-student/non-staff days, listed in full below. We stay open on SVUSD staff-only professional development days.
We stay open through the summer, with one additional week of closure, typically the week of July 4th. No piecing together summer camps. No coverage gaps.

Our program is built around the five domains of early childhood development: cognitive, social-emotional, physical, language, and creative. Mornings are intentional and teacher-led. Afternoons are child-led and exploratory. Learn more on our Our Approach page.
