I cannot believe some of these reviewers have been to the same place. We love the office staff and teachers. We feel like our child has gotten the best care. After looking at all the other places in town, we knew this was the very best! So glad our child is there...

The previous comment couldn't be more spot on. My son was in the toddler room with a 13:1 ratio consistently. Neglect is really the perfect word to describe this daycare. My child was bitten numerous times and nothing was ever done about it. 1 adult cannot watch, feed, change diapers of 13 toddlers! This place is absolute garbage. Management is terrible. They can't keep employees because they're treated like crap. If you have any care in the world for your child, DO NOT send them here!! Take your money to a daycare that actually cares. This place honestly needs to be shut down.

My granddaughter has attended Grace Discovery Center since they opened almost 2 years ago. I could not be more pleased with the care she has received. Her caregivers have always made her feel safe and secure. The environment and curriculum at Grace Discovery Center are top notch. They are constantly adding new equipment and materials in their classrooms. I have a background in early childhood education and there is not another center in town that I would consider for my granddaughter.

I have taken my toddler to a couple of daycares and left shortly after enrolling at each one. Care was a warm body in the room at best. My child was always in need of a change and always hungry and dirty at pick up. ... then a friend recommend Grace discovery center! My child is well fed, clean, his teacher always sends home daily reports or incident reports to let me know how he is doing. I get art work and random pics throughout the week to ease my mind. The front office staff is wonderful! They answer all your questions and then some and urge you to come by or call at any time with concerns! Cannot say enough great things about this center. If you want to leave your child with someone who will treat them like family this is the place!

My child can't wait to go to Grace! The facility is so
Clean and warm and inviting. The staff is wonderful and I feel like my child gets excellent care. I especially love the curriculum and the way teachers engage the children.

Please DO NOT send your child here. I enrolled my child at this facility for over a year, hoping that things would get better. They never did. My child was frequently bitten and we did not receive incident reports, the ratios were far beyond what is legal (11 infants to 1 teacher), my child rarely had the same teacher 2 days in a row, and was in 5 different classrooms with 10 different teachers in 1 year. My child screamed at drop off and pick up because, even at a young age, they sensed the neglect that was happening. After two weeks at a new facility, my child no longer cried at drop off, and made leaps and bounds in both communication and physical skills. Please DO NOT leave your child in the "care" of this facility.

Grace takes care of my infant. She's excited to go to daycare everyday and I have never had an incident where I was worried about her care. They feed her exactly what I ask, she's never had diaper rash, and she's never had any safety concerns. She's grown and learned things over time while they've cared for her. I wouldn't trust my child at any other daycare.

DO NOT enroll your child here. My child was enrolled for 4 days. On fourth day she was left in the same diaper she was dropped off in (8+ hours) soiled.
According to DFPS this is neglect! I filed a complaint.
I asked for a refund. The owner refused stating I agreed to the no refund policy. $800 for neglect!
I failed my child in sending her to this place and this facility failed me!
