Description:
Grace Episcopal Church established a preschool and child development center in November 1972 to offer care and a preschool experience to nearby children. As the program grew, we found a need to expand. In 2002, we built a new facility to better accomodate the community's need for additional programs. Today we provide early education and care for nearly 175 children. All of our programs are licensed by the Maryland State Department of Education and are based on goals, objectives and activities aimed at providing a flexible, enriching environment that will facilitate the physical, cognitive and social-emotional growth of children ages 6 weeks to 5 years old.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
