ARTS
One of the goals of Children’s Grove is to provide artistic opportunities for children and adults, believing that the arts provide an avenue for expressing the inexpressible, and by allowing that expression, our mental and emotional well-being and health are enhanced.
The mission of Children's Grove is to inspire a culture of kindness and to support the mental and emotional
well-being of our youth
