Recent parent reviews

  • Excellence in care is the first thing that comes to mind as I write this review. I feel blessed every day I've been able to drop off my two boys at Grace. We've gone here for our child care needs for over 5 years and I trust them completely. They communicate really well in person, over the phone and through the app. They are up front about their policies and are consistent with sticking to them. I've always felt that safety, education/programming, fun and loving care where top priorities for Grace staff members. Most of the staff have been here for well over a decade, which speaks to the quality of their working conditions. This translates to quality care. I give Grace Child Care Center my highest recommendation for the care of your young child(ren).

  • I called to seek enrollment and the woman on the phone is very misleading and inconvenient. She asked how old my child was and I gave her the age. She then states there’s room in the class of their age now but because they are born in May they won’t qualify for the next year of age class. She then goes I can be put on the waitlist but May is 7 months away from now and I’m simply looking for childcare right this moment. Thanks for nothing!

  • Worst day care ever. We thought that this would be a good experience for our children since it is inside of a church, boy was I wrong. From the staff to the way they manage this day care is very unorganized and unprofessional. The teachers have their own children registered here while they are working so can you imagine who is getting all the attention and being favored? All I have to say is make sure this is suitable for you and your child because this place really Deserves to be shut down.

  • My daughter has been at Grace for 3 years now. This school is great while I understand the last comment about sick kids that is the parents fault not the schools. If you bring your kid to school with a cold the rest of the class will get it. Teachers are friendly even outside of school. They really care about the kids they watch and there families. If you are looking for a good day care look no further then Grace. It has been a great fit for our family.

  • When my son 1st started I didn't like how unorganized it was... There wasn't any communication with the teacher and no one ever new what happen when your kids got a scratch or a bruise ... But now my son cry to leave and he loves going to school... I like that now he now has a teacher he now because before there was a new teacher every other day

  • My son started at Grace when he was 2years old until Kindergarten, now my 6 month attends and I love it! The director, Mrs. Tina is great! She cares about the kids and their best interest. Very kind & understanding when it comes to your payments. Great daycare!

Does this page show inspection results for GRACE CHILD CARE CENTER?
