This school has been everything I hoped for and more! The teachers are amazing and deeply engaging. The other families have become a wonderfully supportive community. My 4 year old son has excelled so much. I really wish I started him when he was 2 because there has been so much enrichment that he didn’t find in other programs. Watching his growth has filled me with so much joy.
Laura MoralesMay 28, 2026The minute we toured this school I knew it was the right fit for us. The teachers and staff are so welcoming and warm. It was my son’s first time going to school, and he had a hard time adjusting. He was always given the love and support he needed each day, and the hugs were endless and always available to him when he needed one. Grace playschool fosters friendships and learning by doing what kids love doing most - playing! My son has grown so much this year and it’s all thanks to this school and the wonderful community surrounding it.
Brittany BallMay 28, 2026Grace Playschool is truly one of a kind. It emphasizes learning through PLAY which is different from most area preschools. I have had 3 kids come up through Grace, and feel this makes them stand out. Being able to learn through getting messy (yes) and having tons of outdoor time is amazing. They offer enrichment classes in various areas such as building, STEAM, cooking, art and more. We love every teacher we have worked with and view them as an extension of our family. Being able to visit the classroom as a parent allows for family involvement, and they are very flexible and accommodating around what parents are able to do while working. Early and afternoon extra hours are available for those who need it too. The director is involved and extremely communicative. I can't say enough about GPS!
Karen BeckMay 27, 2026I am so happy we found Grace Playschool for our three year old. Being his first school environment experience our son was very happy and excited to see his teachers and classmates. Watching him so happy at drop off and pick up gave us a peace of mind and we knew he was in a safe place. He became very comfortable at Grace Playschool he kept asking to stay for longer hours in enrichment classes. He enjoys his after cooking class very much and we enjoy the samples too. Children learn through play and this is exactly what we found at Grace Playschool. We are glad he will continue the fours class this coming year. Thank you to all the staff, classmates and parents for a warm welcome
Andrea DelgadoMay 25, 2026Grace Playschool has been a wonderful experience for my 2 boys over the last few years. Their program is child centered. Students are learning through play which helps them develop both academically and socially, which was exactly what I was looking for. My oldest son still talks about when his class made leprechaun traps on St Patrick’s and how much fun it was! My 3 year old this year participated in the enrichment program, and he loved the STEAM and construction days. The school also offers events and activities such as movie night, Breakfast with Santa and Parents night out (to name a few), which provides a sense of school community.
Jessica LalamaMay 22, 2026We truly found a home in Grace Playschool! This September, my third child will be attending. I love the involvement the school offers and the nurturing environment the staff creates for all. Our best memories are Breakfast with Santa and the Thanksgiving Feast, truly a special time for all. Choose this school if you are looking to join an inclusive setting with staff who treats your child like family!
