Questions parents ask about Grace Garden Academy, Inc
Is Grace Garden Academy, Inc a licensed child care provider in Florida?
- No. The Florida Department of Children and Families lists Grace Garden Academy, Inc as "Exempt", which means it operates without a DCF child care licence rather than under one. Exempt providers remain on the DCF public record under record number X05MA0066, and Florida still requires background screening of their staff, but they are not licensed and are not inspected on the same schedule. Confirm current standing with DCF before enrolling.
Does Grace Garden Academy, Inc accept School Readiness subsidies?
- Yes. The DCF record shows Grace Garden Academy, Inc participates in Florida's School Readiness program, so families approved for child care assistance through their local Early Learning Coalition may be able to use it here.
How many children can Grace Garden Academy, Inc care for?
- Grace Garden Academy, Inc is licensed for up to 47 children. Licensed capacity is a legal maximum, not current availability or enrollment.
Has Grace Garden Academy, Inc had any licensing violations?
- Florida DCF has recorded 8 inspections at Grace Garden Academy, Inc, 4 of which recorded at least one finding. Reports are published by the state and summarized as reported; a finding is a cited standard, not a judgment of overall quality.
