Partnering with Families, Building Brighter Futures

Nurturing Lifelong Learners Through Play and Discovery

At The Learning Grove Academy, we’re passionate about sparking curiosity and joy in every child. Our centers are vibrant communities where young minds flourish, explore, and grow with joy. With locations in Avon, Carmel, and Westfield in Indiana; North Liberty in Iowa; Troy in Michigan; and Omaha in Nebraska, we’re proud to be part of your neighborhood! Our approach ensures that learning is always fun, engaging and safe. Come join the Grove family, and let’s nurture your child’s lifelong love for learning together!

Partnering with Parents

Parent involvement is key to a child's growth, and we believe it should carry through from the classroom to the home. We encourage active participation in parent-teacher conferences, family events, and open feedback to create a strong partnership in your child’s journey.

Play-based Learning

Children thrive through play and hands-on exploration. Our well-rounded curriculum blends free play, group activities, and individual learning experiences to spark curiosity and growth.

Montessori Classrooms

Our Montessori classroom at Troy and Westfield empower children to take the lead in their education, fostering independence, curiosity, and a love for lifelong learning.

Growing for the Future

At The Learning Grove Academy, we’re committed to setting your children in the right direction! Our curriculum blends play-based learning across all locations, and at two of our centers, we offer Montessori classrooms that provide an even greater focus on independence and self-directed learning.

“I like knowing that my child is taken care of and he is learning at The Learning Grove. The reason I have chosen The Learning Grove are that it’s close to home and is a far price.”

“I love all the teachers at the Learning Grove Academy, they are very kind and listen to my concerns and needs for both of my children.”

“What can I say? We have loved our experience with LGA Carmel! 😊 Both our girls have been going there since they were infants! 🥰 We have enjoyed how all the teachers know our daughters so well – always greeting us when we arrive, letting us know how the day is going, and saying goodbye at the end of the day. I would love to give a shout out to our favorite teachers — but we would be naming everyone we have had from infants to pre-k! 😊 We feel we can trust our kids are safe and learning in this environment. Our girls run in at drop off and don’t always want to leave at the end of the day because they are having a great time! 😊”

“This was an amazing experience for my son. The change from when he started to when he aged out was nothing short of miraculous. Unlike other preschools we attended previously, our son did not have a “revolving door” of new staff to get used to. From start to finish, he had the same great instructors and support staff to get to know an count on…that is SO invaluable at that young age. I thank the entire staff for their dedication, passion, just overall great attitude. The Learning Grove experience exceeded everything promised by our previous preschool and did it at all lower price!”

“I absolutely love Learning Grove Academy! My boys are learning so much! My oldest (21 months) enjoys learning and comes home ready to show me what’s he learned. He’s in the Sr Toddlers with Ms Sierra! She’s hands on and always provides good instruction and insight when it comes to my son!

My youngest (9 months) is expressive! I love how he’s able to explore safely in his classroom (Waddlers) with Ms J and Ms D! He starts his day off with Ms Abby (Bunnies) whom he adores!

I’m so glad we found LGA, it has been so beneficial for our family!”
