Parents are Saying . . .

"Grace Academy has been the most amazing and unbelievable experience for my two children! My son and daughter have been going to school since they were 2 years old and it just gets better and better! The number of different things offered at school each day is incredible! From trips to the post office to mail a letter, to exposure to science, math and Spanish, my husband and I are constantly blown away by the experiences our children are having. The teachers and staff are ALL amazing! There is constant communication with the parents. We have a child who has life threatening food allergies and they take such great care of her and keep her safe. We never want to leave Grace Academy and only wish school was offered on the weekends!" —Katie W.

"I have been a part of the Grace Academy community for 6 years now. All three of my children have attended Grace for preschool, enrichment and Kindergarten Giant Leaps. As an educator, Grace has the highest quality education for young children, by aligning with Illinois education standards and preparing their students for elementary school. Grace Academy also embraces every child and has a warm, nurturing environment! My kids are always excited to step foot at school. I highly recommend Grace for children 2-5!" —Stephanie T.

"Grace Children's Academy has been a wonderful experience for our son. There is so much creative learning, and the teachers are all so warm and loving. The enrichment programs are top notch. He marches into school each day with a big smile, and he can't wait to go back the next day. I highly recommend this program." —Hailey G.

"My oldest started going to Grace for preschool when he was 3 years old, my middle when she was 2 and my third will join when she's old enough. We absolutely love the school, teachers and other families we have met through the welcoming community. My kids can't wait to go to school each day and have thrived in the nurturing environment the staff creates." —Deanna C.

"We are a new family to Grace this year having come from a different local preschool and we couldn't be happier with our switch. Grace is such a special place, all the teachers know all the children, and all the children know each other. You're part of a family there, there's comfort and flexibility in their preschool that doesn't exist elsewhere. My daughter has been SO happy at Grace, she skips into school every day and I know they're educating her and helping her thrive in the best way possible. We only have 1 year left and will be so sad to leave the Grace family but I know we'll always keep in touch!" —Grainne N.

EARLY CHILDHOOD PRESCHOOL PROGRAM

Grace Children’s Academy is a child centered preschool offering morning and extended day classes for children ages 2 through 5. As a non-for profit, private preschool affiliated with Grace Episcopal Church and licensed by Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS), we provide classes that follow a project based curriculum that emphasizes learning through daily experiences and play. Our program is designed to build a strong foundation that guides, teaches, and inspires children to excel and grow at Grace. We would like to assure you that children do not need to be potty trained to enroll; we are more than happy to assist with diapers, pull-ups, or restroom needs as required. We look forward to welcoming your family and cherished child to our community.
