📚🍎 Happy First Day of School! 🍎📚

Our Grace Place Learning Center staff is ready for an amazing school year! ❤️ We kicked off the first day in our fun matching shirts, excited to welcome both our returning families and those joining us for the very first time.

Here’s to a year filled with learning, laughter, friendships, and unforgettable memories. We can’t wait to watch each of our little learners grow and thrive throughout the 2026–2027 school year!

Wishing all of our students, families, and teachers a wonderful first day! Let’s make it the best year yet! ✏️🚌🍎

🍝❤️ Prep Day = Better Days for Our Little Learners! ❤️🍝

What a wonderful day of preparing, celebrating, and making memories together at Grace Place Learning Center!

A huge THANK YOU to Dixie Tillman and Jodi Gutierrez for organizing our delicious Prep Day lunch catered by Olive Garden. Your hard work and planning made the day extra special for our amazing staff.

We would also like to give a heartfelt thank you to one of our wonderful Grace Place parents, KayCee Harring, for once again surprising us with her delicious homemade desserts. Your kindness and generosity mean so much to our team!

Today wasn’t just about preparing our classrooms—it was also about celebrating our incredible staff. We enjoyed spending time together, making memories, receiving thoughtful gifts, and recognizing our dedicated team members with Years of Service Certificates. We are so grateful for each person who pours their heart into the children and families of Grace Place every day.

Thank you to everyone who helped make Prep Day such a meaningful and successful event. We can’t wait to welcome our little learners and families for an amazing new school year! 💙💚💛❤️

💙 A Heartfelt Thank You! 💙

A very special thank you to Ms. Penny (not pictured) for graciously lending us her husband, Mr. Cochran, during our Prep Days to clean the carpets throughout Grace Place Learning Center!

His generosity and hard work are helping us get our classrooms fresh, clean, and ready as our children move up to their new classrooms and as we welcome new families joining the Grace Place family as well.

We are so thankful for the wonderful support from our Grace Place parents and community. It truly takes a village, and we are blessed by the kindness and generosity of so many.

Thank you, Mr. Cochran and Ms. Penny, for helping us prepare for another amazing school year! ❤️

What a Fun-Filled Morning at Grace Place! 🎶🥚🪇

A huge THANK YOU to Stacey Dailey (aka “Gran”), one of our wonderful Grace Place grandmothers, for spending time with our preschoolers today! 💙

“Gran” led an exciting dance party where the children explored rhythm and movement using egg shakers and rhythm sticks to create music. They danced, laughed, sang, and had so much fun while building listening skills, coordination, and a love for music.
We are so grateful for family members who share their time and talents with our children. Thank you, Gran, for making today such a special memory! ❤️

🏕️🔥 Camping Week ended on the sweetest note! 🍫🤎

To wrap up our Camping Week, our little campers enjoyed making their own delicious s’mores using our fun indoor s’more machine! They loved watching the marshmallows toast before building their tasty treats. It was the perfect way to celebrate a week full of camping adventures, imagination, and hands-on learning.

A special shout-out to Ms. Heather, who couldn’t resist joining in on the fun and enjoying a s’more right alongside the kids! 😄🍫

💛 Yellow Day Fun! 💛
Our 18–23-month-olds explored the color yellow during circle time! They enjoyed holding and identifying yellow objects while building color recognition, listening skills, and language development through hands-on learning. 💛

Little Hands, Big Discoveries! 🖌️💧

Our 2–2½-year-olds had fun exploring Water Wow books, building fine motor skills, concentration, and creativity as they revealed colorful pictures with water. 💙

🏡 Dramatic Play Time! 💕
Our 3½ year-olds had fun using their imaginations in the dramatic play center, cooking in the kitchen and caring for their baby dolls. Play like this helps build social skills, creativity, and confidence while having fun!

🏕️🔥 Camping Week Adventures in Pre-K! 🔥🏕️
Our Pre-K campers had a wonderful time learning all about camping! They explored the fun of setting up a tent, gathered around a pretend campfire, and used their imaginations as they discovered what makes a camping trip so special.
