In 1986, inspired by the Reggio Emilia philosophy of exploration, discovery, and collaboration, our director's goal was to set up a center in an underserved neighborhood where little ones could feel safe, thrive and excel beyond the stereotypes that had hindered so many young people in the community.
Hundreds of children and 35 years later, GCA stands as a pillar of the community with game-changing, humanitarian, progressive graduates, who return frequently and attribute their success to their formative years at our school. We have created a space where our students value "the little things".

Grace Children's Academy is a wonderful place for children to grow, learn and experience hands on interactions and engagement. As a pervious parent an educator I would highly recommend GCA. Grace is not only a preschool but an environment that creates Culture Shifters for our future.
When children are able to be immersed in learning, research has shown that their critical thinking, language and literacy, STEM and social emotional development evolves.
When teachers are able to captivate children through story telling, and then use loose parts (Reggio Emilio experiences) a deeper FUN exciting understanding

Our son and daughter, Zeia and Tyce, both attended Grace Children's Academy until they reached Kindergarten, and we can't speak highly enough about it. There's a curriculum that prepares the kids well for grade school, but also encourages play, discovery, and collaboration. They take field trips (e.g. Lawrence Hall of Science and the library) and go to parks (including the Temescal Creek Park that's right next door). The parent community is warm and connected. The graduation ceremonies are incredibly meaningful and well thought-out. Most importantly, Ms. Merria and her staff are simply the best
