Grace Community Schools About Us

Grace Community: 25 Years and Counting!!!

In our fast-paced society, companies, corporations, and institutions come and go on a regular basis. Neighborhoods, cities, and towns change dramatically over a very brief span of time. It's rare to find any place that's been around for more than a handful of years. Many of the seemingly permanent landmarks of our society haven't been around for even a decade - Facebook is only six years old!

Twenty-five years ago, Ronald Reagan was president. Gas cost $0.89 a gallon, and "Burning Heart" by Survivor was the #1 song. And Grace Community Schools was founded, with our first location opening up on Outer Drive in Naples, Florida on February 3, 1986. Now in 2011, we have eight locations and more on the way. More than two thousand students across Southwest Florida attend Grace Community Schools every single day.

While there have been changes over the years, we at Grace Community can say they have been for the better. Far from being a cold, monolithic conglomerate we're still the same caring, personable educators we've always been - only better! The principles Grace Community was founded on have stood the test of time. College still begins at two, and our preschoolers continue to learn to read year after year after year. We are pleased to have brought an uncompromising, distinctly Christian education to our students for the past twenty-five years as the oldest and most established early learning institution in Southwest Florida.

Times have changed, but the importance of a good education has not diminished. An education at Grace Community School, established on sound academics and Christian morals, lays a sure foundation for life. As our society has become more and more technological in nature, the knowledge and skill sets needed to survive in society have become far more numerous and complex. However, the basics are still just as necessary. No other childcare center in Southwest Florida has the track record of Grace Community. Instead of daycare, why not the school that has taught children to read for a quarter century?

Grace Community School

Grace Community Schools has been southwest Florida's leader in early childhood education since 1986. Our innovative approach to early childhood education has helped many children begin reading before Kindergarten. We believe that reading builds self-esteem and a sense of accomplishment, something that is necessary for every child. Not only will your child begin the steps toward literacy, but they will have fun doing it! Much of our instruction is through learning games, which make for an optimum learning experience.

At Grace Community your child has the opportunity to set his or her own pace in their learning goals. It is important that your child feels empowered in learning, not bored or frustrated. Grace Community utilizes an individual approach that allows each student to easily achieve an individual goal. Our superior teaching methods help facilitate your child in this learning experience.

While attending Grace Community, your child will enjoy the ease of our unique schedule which changes every fifteen minutes. Our schedule includes many learning games and other fun, educational activities as well as five outside playtimes each day. Studies show that a schedule which changes every fifteen to twenty minutes helps accelerate learning benefits and contributes to each child's individual contentment in a classroom setting.

The most important decision that you make for your child's life is that of early childhood education. A poor start in education could make it difficult or even impossible for your child to succeed throughout the educational process. Attending Grace Community School provides your child with every advantage necessary to succeed in his or her chosen path.

Grace Community Schools offers not only superior education, but superior recreation. Most outdoor playtimes feature organized play and games. These activites allow your child to safely have the maximum benefit of outdoor play. Studies have shown that children who learn early to participate with a group of peers toward a common goal are better able to achieve individual academic and athletic goals later in life. These children are also more likely to be comfortable in a social setting.

Parents who choose Grace Community Schools are choosing the best for their child. The best in education, and the best in quality care, Grace Community Schools continue to be the choice of parents throughout Southwest Florida. Thank you for your interest in joining Grace Community Schools in giving your child a better tomorrow.
