Our Preschool Journey
A Joyful Start to Lifelong Learning
Philosophy
At Grace Garden Preschool, I believe that childhood should be full of wonder, discover, and joy. My in-home preschool provides a warm, nurturing environment where children feel safe, supported, and excited to learn every day.
I offer a faith-based, developmentally appropriate program designed to help children grow socially, emotionally, academically, and creatively. With small group sizes and individualized attention, every child is seen, valued, and encouraged to thrive.

Curriculum
At Grace Garden I provide a rich learning environment with curricula that is developmentally appropriate to the specific ages of children in my care. I will use the following curriculum resources to enhance each child's learning experience.
Zoo Phonics - Zoo Phonics is an effective way to teach reading and spelling. It uses pictures of animals and shapes to help children learn to recognize upper- and lower-case letters.
Learning without Tears - Helps students develop strong handwriting, fine motor, and early literacy skills in a fun, engaging way.
Abeka Bible Curriculum - Designed to help young children understand God's word through simple language and engaging pictures.
