Grace Garden Preschool

Welcome to Grace Garden

At Grace Garden, we know that play is a child's most important work, and we strive to create and maintain an environment where your child can grow and thrive while exploring the world around them.

Grace Garden Preschool opened in 2004 as a place of learning for children aged 18 months - Pre-K. At Grace Garden, children learn through developmentally appropriate activities and feel confident in taking on new challenges. Our loving and enthusiastic staff bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to our program. They are dedicated to enriching the lives of children and strive for excellence in all they do.

Our Philosophy

We believe in the development of the whole child – physically, emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually – through a guided, play-based curriculum.

Children who are given plenty of time to play, learn to ask their own questions and figure out their own answers inherently become responsible for their own learning. They see themselves as explorers, discoverers, problem solvers, and inventors.

Grace Garden Staff

We are proud of our teachers at Grace Garden. Not only do they possess a wealth of experience, but they are also incredibly committed to our school.
