About the Provider
The Grapevine Early Learning Center is designed to meet the emotional, social, physical, and intellectual needs of children. Children need to feel secure and cared for at all times. The Center provides a loving environment that enables children to feel safe, thereby freeing them to be open and eager to learn.
We believe that the learning process for any child begins at birth. Children are eager to learn and parental involvement in this learning process is very important. Parents and teachers must be united in their efforts to encourage the child to reach his/her fullest potential.
We believe modeling is a very decisive form of teaching. Children look for role models; therefore, we must be people of integrity; loyal, kind, patient, hardworking and loving. We believe our lifestyle must be reflective of attributes that would encourage positive behavior in our learners.
We believe that when you “Train up a child in the way he should go when he is old he will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6
