**Open late for specific programs and events. A Member Favorite - Sunday Fundays, bi-weekly drop off event from 3pm -6pm (these sell out quick!)

While we are not a daycare, we do offer a wide range of drop-off programming and encourage adults to enjoy the cafe and adult programming while children are engaged. Our play spaces are always staffed with Grove Counselors, engaging crafts and activities, and our processes are built to encourage independence.  

Should a Member need last-minute child care for the day we are eager to help, we just ask for 24 hours in advance to arrange. 

Out of respect for our Members, we only offer tours to those sincerely interested in Membership. These are available during the application process.  Reach out and we hope to show what we're all about. 

We know we don't do a ton on social, and yes, that's on purpose! We adhere to a no social footprint policy. Though Members are welcome to take their own photos, we kindly ask for no posting or tagging of interior spaces / Members. We do love to promote our partners and some of the exciting features we bring to our Members. 

All Memberships are a minimum 1 year commitment, Members will be alerted 30 days before renewal opportunity and The Grove reserves the right to not renew memberships as we see fit. Memberships can be frozen once during membership, for a maximum of 3 months. Members must be up to date with billing before initiating a freeze.

Membership provides access to our cafe, play spaces, programming, Member events and SO MUCH MORE. 

Our community is built to support and empower families which is reflected in our offerings. Some of our Member Favorites include Mini-Camps on holidays and teacher work days, Sunday Fundays so mom and dad can have a night out, and don't forget about Summer Camps (with lunch!!).  

Adult perks include health and wellness classes in our Studio (childcare provided on-site). From weekend boot camp to slow-flow yoga, we curate our exercise to have variety and intentionality.

Our cafe offers seasonal and fresh offerings from our partners Restaurant Constance, Wheatberry Bakeshop, Renaissance Patisserie, Green Brothers Smoothies, Enderly Coffee, and MORE! no tipping either ;) we are a hands-free ordering/pickup operation.
