A Sense of Belonging
Groton Community School is a nationally accredited, non-profit early childhood center for young children. We are committed to interacting with each child as a unique individual and dedicated to giving each child and his/her family the most positive first school experience.
Our Philosophy
Sharing a unique and positive first school experience. Our programs are designed to offer children opportunities to explore and discover their world and the larger world outside of their own world. We help children attain success in intellectual, creative, and social endeavors while always being aware of their need for love, belonging, guidance, and respect. We guide children by fostering their independence while gaining social skills, providing a language-rich environment, and recognizing the importance of physical development.
