About Wtèha Grove

Started as a dream in October 2023, Wtèha Grove Academy offers private and personalized preschool education and support to children and their families through the use of private educators, emergent curriculum, and more.

Our Values

  • A continuous drive to discover, learn, and grow is both what we strive to inspire in the children we serve and aim to maintain as their educators.

  • A mind that seeks to innovate and think outside of the box has a home at Wtèha Grove.

  • To teach to the hearts of others with love, it is important to possess an understanding of not only their hearts, but your own and to nurture a love within yourself.

“When educating the minds of our youth, we must not forget to educate their hearts.”

— DALAI LAMA
