In our cozy, home-based setting, every child is welcomed with care and encouraged to grow at their own pace. With personalized attention, engaging activities, and a play-based philosophy, we nurture curiosity, creativity, friendships, and confidence every day.

We’d be delighted to welcome your family into our Grove!

Infant

Providing a gentle, nurturing care for infants with an emphasis on comfort and safety. Our daily rhythm supports each baby’s natural routine while encouraging early developmental milestones through songs, sensory play, and warm interactions.

Toddler

Offering a playful, hands-on environment to spark curiosity and independence. Through art, music, storytelling, and outdoor exploration, we practice self-help skills, build early language, and learn how to engage with peers in a supportive setting.

Preschool

Focusing on school readiness while keeping play at the heart of learning. We explore early literacy, math, and science through interactive projects, art, and circle-time discussions, while developing confidence, teamwork, and problem-solving.

Meet your care provider

Hi, I’m Liz! I’m a family care provider and proud mom of three. I started Garnet Grove because I’ve always loved caring for children and creating a space where they feel safe, inspired, and free to grow. I’m certified in infant and toddler CPR and First Aid, as well as VIRTUS certified, because your child’s safety and well-being always comes first.

A graduate of Northeastern University, and with nearly 2 decades of experience in experiential marketing and program planning, my formal background helps me manage the behind the scenes details such as curriculum planning, structure, and communication, so I can focus on creating a smooth, reliable , and nurturing experience for families.

Still, my most valuable learnings have come from real-life experience as a mom, caregiver, and volunteer in local education programs. These hands-on experiences, combined with my love for early childhood development, have shaped a curriculum that’s enriching, playful, and designed to help each child thrive!

At Garnet Grove, I believe in letting kids be kids, in giving them space to create, imagine, ask questions, and explore the world around them. My goal is to provide a gentle, loving environment where children grow not only in their skills, but in confidence, kindness, and connection. I’d be honored to welcome your little one into our Grove!
