Growing Place has been nurturing curious, confident learners for 40 years across three Los Angeles campuses. Inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach, we believe children are capable, competent researchers of their own learning.

What makes us different? We invest deeply in our educators. Through comprehensive professional development, mentorship, and intentional growth opportunities, we create teachers who don't just supervise—they inspire. Our alumni become educators themselves, returning to teach alongside the mentors who once taught them.

Even when families pay full tuition, a 15% gap remains in our operating costs. Your support closes that gap and funds the professional learning that transforms good teachers into exceptional ones. Research shows teachers have 2-3 times the impact of any other school factor—and at Growing Place, we're proving it every day.
