Why Mount Washington families choose Growing Garden

Mount Washington's winding, hillside streets and its close, protective community — the families around Elyria Canyon and the Mount Washington Elementary crowd — are a natural fit for what we do. We're a quick drive down the hill, no freeway required, which for a hillside neighborhood is no small thing on a weekday morning.

Parents from Mount Washington often already live the values Reggio is built on: nature, close relationships, a childhood spent partly outdoors. A garden-based program with one trusted teacher and a handful of children feels less like daycare and more like an extension of the hillside community they chose.

You get a nature-based, closely-held preschool that matches the Mount Washington way of life — minutes from home, with a teacher who truly knows your child.
