Childcare for infants through Pre-K in Bay Village.
A Place Where Little Minds
Grow & Thrive
At Hawthorn Grove, we believe children deserve a childhood filled with curiosity, connection, and joyful learning. We create a safe, welcoming place where they have time to wonder, room to explore, and the freedom to discover who they are. Through nurturing relationships, hands-on experiences, and a play-based approach, children build confidence, independence, and a lifelong love of learning, while families feel supported along the way.

What matters here
The little things make the biggest difference.
Choosing childcare is a big decision. We partner with families to create a place where children are cared for, challenged, and encouraged to grow- and where parents feel confident in the people caring for them.
Learning through play
Children learn best when they're engaged, curious, and having fun. Literacy, math, problem-solving, and creativity unfold naturally through play, hands-on discovery, and meaningful experiences.
Low ratios, real relationships
We keep our classrooms small on purpose, so every child is known, supported, and celebrated by educators who truly care.
Whole-child development
There's more to growing than academics. Social-emotional growth, independence, physical development, relationships, and early learning all have a place in the day.
Family partnership
You're a part of the team. Daily updates, open communication, real conversations, and working together to support your child's growth — because you know your child best.
Language-rich environment
Songs, stories, books, conversations, and everyday moments help children build vocabulary, confidence, memory, and expression.
Childhood comes first
We honor childhood. There is time for play, movement, make-believe, creativity, outdoor exploration, and quiet moments to simply be a child.
