GRACE ACADEMY NOW TAKES 3 YEAR OLDS!!
Today at the Fredrick Festival for the Arts, we heard, again, that there are many three years olds out there whose families wish they could attend our school. Our school is licensed for children ages 3-5; so, after much continued thought and consideration, the decision has been made to include 3-year olds in our program. Effective immediately, enrollment is now open for children who will be 3 no later than the end of September, 2014.
