Reviews
My experience with Grace Neighborhood Academy is wonderful. My daughter, Anearah Walker loves her school. She enjoys going to there and is always talking about how fun reading time is. Anearah comes home talking about her new friends, how to spell their names and do shapes and colors. She loves bringing home books from the school library every day. The staff here is friendly. Grace Neighborhood Academy has been a great experience and I recommend sending your children here. They have a lot to offer for the future.
Sincerely
Mickaline Coleman
My son was never held for his bottles. Instead he was in a bouncer with a blanket over him to prop up his bottle. Clear violation of the state guidelines. Have pictures on their walls of another child with their bottle propped up in the same fashion. I actually took pictures as well. Wasn't being burped. Kids were running around with dirty noses. Crockpot used for heating up bottles were left with water overnight with milk residue floating in it along with a foul smelling odor. Wish I could upload the pictures I took.
