Mission
​
At Grace Early Learning Center, we put a premium on quality care. Our goal is to strengthen the bridge between your work and family by creating a special place that supports them both. We will accomplish this by providing a loving, supportive, safe and educational environment that nurtures your whole child: body, mind and spirit.
Quality care of your child is your primary objective, and it's ours too. We know there is nothing in your life more precious than your child and we take the responsibility very seriously by upholding high standards in nutrition, curriculum, and care.
​
As part of a Christian education, our program will emphasize strong character and individual responsibility as we lead each child on a journey to become spiritually strong, self-disciplined individuals. We will do this by nurturing the spiritual, emotional, intellectual and physical growth of each child, and making it our mission that each child know he or she is loved by God.

It is our mission for each child to know they are loved by God.

We have carefully selected and blended our curricula to create a rich environment conducive to learning, kindergarten readiness, and Christian character development that will last a lifetime. These curricula, in combination with our exercise, nutrition, rest and play programs allow is to nurture your whole child.
