WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING

-Ashli

We LOVE Grace Kids Early Academy! Both of my kids attend, and have attended the past 2 years, and I cannot imagine having them at any other daycare/school. This is my son’s last year, and I am so sad for him to be moving on because of the great experience he has had with every teacher he has had! We are so thankful for the teachers at this school who truly love and care for my kiddos like they are their own. They also provide an amazing learning atmosphere and I am always amazed at what my little ones learn in their classes! I would recommend GKEA to anyone!

-Mellessa

My daughter loves Grace Kids Early Academy! It is a place that gives us comfort in knowing our girl is taken care of. Every single time I enter the building staff begin talking about our little ones day! They get to know parents and every single child there is welcomed in whatever mood they are in as they are dropped off! Our little brings home exciting conversations about her day! The best part is that she is thriving because of the staff and environment. They truly love all the kids! Communication between the teachers and parents is the best!
