About the Provider
The Grace Day Care provides developmentally appropriate activities within a Christian environment, and safe loving care while children are away from home and family. Children will learn about the world around them, to understand themselves, and to trust others. They will be part of an suitable age group, yet still be individuals.Through such activities as music, games, art, language, play, listening, and by solving problems and making choices, children will be encouraged to find their own identity and personal worth, and to learn responsibility and self control.
