CURRENTLY ENROLLING FOR SUMMER CAMP starting in June and FREE VPK starting in August. Our educational philosophy is inspired by the Holistic Education Approach, which seeks to educate the child as a whole. By learning about themselves children acquire self- respect and self esteem, and by learning about relationships children acquire a sense of community and resilience, which gives them the knowledge to overcome difficulties and the ability to face challenges. Finally, the holistic approach to education encourages the students to interact with nature and to see the beauty of what is around them and learn to take care of it.

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. 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.

FAQs for finding preschools near you in Estero, FL
