Our family has had such a blessed experience at Grace Community. Our toddler loves learning Bible stories and songs during their daily teachings and has learned to memorize special prayers, like the Our Father, since attending. It makes us feel so good everyday when we pick her up and she doesnt want to leave because shes having a blast. Thanks for all you do teachers and staff!

We have our two toddlers enrolled at Grace Community and both have flourished tremendously. We love how kind, attentive and caring their teachers are. One of our littles had extreme separation anxiety and her teacher Miss Carol, was so patient and loving as she transitioned in. Now she excitedly arrives at her classroom eager to stay as she waves us off each day - She has flourished into a completely calm and confident kid! We also appreciate how all the staff members know the children’s names and make them feel special since they enter each morning. We love this community!

We did a tour for the infant room and none of the teachers were kind or even smiled. After doing additional research and searching the Naples Moms Facebook group with 10,000 plus locals mom I saw multiple negative experiences that other daycares didn’t have.Ultimately, we chose our sons safety and health and decided to go to The Learning City in Bonita. The extra drive is worth it for us. Plus, compared to Naples Daycare we save $300 a month.

The teachers and support staff at Grace Community School are great. My child struggled very much at drop off but by the second week he was smiling. I also noticed that he is well fed at school and I am so glad he is finally gaining more weight. I know that he is learning new things at school because at home he tries to talk more and walks more independently. I have looked at the cameras a few times during random day checks and teachers are always attentive.

I had a terrible experience with the staff. They did not allow me to see my child or visit my child while in daycare. I am a mother of 3 kids and never had a bad experience with any daycare my kids have attended. The staff was very rude towards me as a parent and did not handle things in a professional matter. I actually asked the father to put my daughter in this school because of the programs such as ballet and music. I had a different idea but then realized it was probably not a good move for my child. The staff handled the situation in an unprofessional matter. I was there to check the progress of the baby and check her well being. They treated me the parent terrible.The director needs to be fired.

My daughter loves going to preschool at Grace Community School. She is learning SO much...especially about the Bible. As parents, we are thrilled with our experience here.

Personally worked here for 3 years, and I now work part time at a public school. Looking back at my time at Grace the children are super ahead from their public school peers and are extremely respectful and the kids are even excited about learning. I see so many behavioral issues in the public schools that could have been addressed at an early age.

Worst experience ever in my life....I went there to get info to see if i can take my son, they told me that there were no place where to put him, because he needs to be walking, so i asked them if they have if they take care of babies and they said that the minimum was 2 years, when I left i saw in the parking a lot a father with his 1 year old and i asked him and he said that they take.care of the baby. I went back to the office to sak them and basically they said that my son doesnt fit the 2 years old section becausr he doesnt walk yet but also he doesnt fit in the 1.years section because he is to.big..We felt discriminate but this school because my son is 2 years old and he has down sindrome my wife cry to whole night because of the treat we received.

My infant has been going since he was three months. The way the infant teachers accept and treat my infant as there own is a wonderful feeling. I dont have to worry about him being neglected or mistreated. Once my infant see his teachers, his face lights up with joy. I love that every week, Im sent home a picture of my children who attend. It shows the growth weekly. So far, no complained on this end.

All three of my kids attended this school (Grace Community Golden Gate). Looking back years ago, I had to decide whether a home daycare or a daycare was best. Its a tough decision because you want the best for your kids and theres pros and cons to both sides! Luckily, I had a friend highly recommend Grace Community Golden Gate. Now that they are older, Im confident I made the right decision :)My youngest one is getting ready to go into kindergarten and he already knows how to read his basic words and write his name!!! As a parent, I can not express enough gratitude to this school for helping our family with a great start into their education. Confidence in reading is very important to our family, I believe it sets the tone for my This isnt just a daycare, its a family that has obvious love for what they do. Youll get to know the kids because they are active in helping! Just today, I dropped off my son and they were have a bounce house/slip and slide party! I cant wait to get the printed out picture of my son having a blast!!! I have MANY photos that they take each week for us parents to keep. Something I look forward to and show off - its complimentary!As for the teachers, in the years we have been using this school, I have yet to meet a teacher that my kids or myself didnt create a bond with (did I mention that their teachers stick around because its a great school?)!!! The prices are very reasonable and probably the lowest for this type of care! Breakfast, lunch and snacks are included so my mornings are much easier!!! I could go on and on... but this review is long enough!

My little girl has been attending daycare here for a year and a half and I think its a wonderful place! The children have a routine that includes outside playing time and bible stories. She doesnt have a hard time when I drop her off because she feels comfortable and has her little friends that have moved up with her since they were little Guppies. Affordable, generous hours, friendly teachers.

This place and all their staff were so good to my son. Their prices are the best and management great. Their themes they have weekly are super cute for the kids and after 12 months provide lunch. I couldnt say anything bad about this place.

Review №16

Only reason I’m putting 3 stars is because of this new food policy. You are not allowed to just send lunch or snack; You have to send breakfast, lunch, AND snack. My son LOVES fruit and cheese for snack and that’s what he gets at home. Unfortunately, my son can mo longer enjoy the snack mommy packs for him. As a full time working mom I cannot pack breakfast, lunch, and snack. I can only show him a little love and thought from packing his snack. In schools you’re allowed to send them one meal and not the rest. When making this policy they should’ve considered the kids.

I am very happy to have found them. Our son had never been in daycare before and he absolutely loves it here. They are very welcoming and we even got a tour of the daycare upon him enrolling. He is always happy and loves going to school here. His teachers always welcome him with open arms and anytime anything has happened I am always notified. I love getting pictures of him every week.Thank you GCS for taking care of our sweet boy while we have to work !

Both of my boys have been going to Grace Community since they were 3 months old and I couldnt think of a place I would love more! They get excited to go every morning and the friends they have made makes it even better. I couldnt thank Grace Community enough for the love they have shown my children and the wealth of knowledge they have gained at such a young age. Thank you!

I have had my doubts with putting my daughter into this daycare but I took a leap of faith! Was I wrong!! I love this daycare and how they are so good with the kids. My daughter comes home everyday with a mini report how her day was and what she loves doing. I also get pictures of her which is so wonderful! I would definitely recommend to bring your child here!

I wished I was more careful before choosing that place for my daughter. Staff in that daycare don’t pay much intention to your kids. My 1 year old daughter spent 3 weeks or so there everyday I picked her up she is always sad and starving, recently I discovered she was biting by mosquitoes more than 7 bits on her face and her neck. I went to talk to Rosie the receptionist she was not even concerned or sympathize, but defending herself. I told her I wanted to redraw my daughter she quickly reply okay. She wow me that is how much she care.

Whatever you do DO NOT leave your child in this daycare. My daughter was only there 4 days and even then that was 4 days to many. The teachers literally do nothing. They sit around and have conversations about their personal lives while the kids are running around crying with dried snot on their faces. My daughter had her underwear full of poop. She was so irritated on her bottom, God only knows how long she was left like that. DO NOT trust this place with someone as precious as your child. No wonder they have $99 promotions.This place is a joke it baffles me that they are still even able to care for children.

I worked here. Temporarily. My daughters were TERRIFIED of school after this place. I could post EVERYTHING I witnessed happen at this so called School/daycare but I dont even need to. All I have to say is if you want your child properly fed, clean, and treated correctly and not abused....DO NOT bring them here. Im disturbed I have to even give this place a 1 star .

This childcare center is the worse I have ever seen, the teachers has no training, no communication none of them speak English my kid was over there every time I dropped him off is a new face when I picked him up new face I can’t never meet his teachers and they have so much kids they are napping so close to each other. DCF needs to go check this place out they awful. In their advertisement talking about our preschoolers can read the teachers don’t even speak English how are they going to read?

Worst school EVER. When I walked in I had that bad gut feeling but I pushed it to the side and brought my son there since the price was great and it was close to my job. The school smells like dirty diapers all the kids look miserable. I would ask the teacher how my son was and they didnt even know which one was my kid. My son always smelled bad when I would pick him up. He was there a month and I left and brought him to another school. PLEASE DO YOUR HOMEWORK BEFORE PUTTING YOUR CHILD IN THIS SCHOOL! It is better to pay a little more than putting your child at risk. The secretary always looked miserable and she would ignore my son when he would try to say hi and hug her. This school is disgusting please read reviews.

Review №46

This was by far the worst daycare experience Ive ever had. Please do not send your children here. I pulled my daughter out after 1 week (which was too long as far as Im concerned). I would have to drop her off in a central room filled with an average of 20 little kids with only 2 adults in the room that were hardly paying attention to any of them. It was the same for pick up. When I went to her classroom, she was not in there around 4:00 (they are not supposed to combine classes until at least 4:30, which is what I was told by Rosy). The first day, she was sitting in another room filled with children, sitting by herself with none of the 3 teachers paying attention to any of the kids. It was very sad! The next day, she was sitting on the top of a wooden slide structure by herself (and could have easily fallen off) with no teacher around her and in a full poopy diaper that I smelled before I even got to her.) My daughter was extremely filthy every day. The school is very dirty. I showed up in the middle of the day to check on her in her classroom and the children were sitting near a teacher that was holding up 1 toy that many children were trying to reach for. There were many tears and through the window it looked as though they were being teased! When my husband came with me the second day to pick up our daughter we were not even greeted by Rev. Harrison at the front desk, so my husband made the effort to introduce us. He told us that we already met, and we told him we have not since we just started the day before. So he just said ok and looked back to whatever else he was doing. Before we even started the school, Rosy made absolutely no effort to guide us in the right direction as to what we needed. She looked annoyed every time I asked her a question. It was truly an extremely disappointing and awful experience. I feel bad for my 1 year old daughter that she had to be there for the week that she was. I think the only thing she did was sit by herself with a pacifier in her mouth with hardly any interaction. She screamed in frustration when she saw the door to the classroom in the morning after a few days.....which should have been the opposite reaction. My actual rating is 0 out of 5 stars. They also ignore any notes sent in to school. I would write notes with her sippy cups that she is not to drink juice and there would be juice in one of her cups when I brought them home. Its no wonder they have to constantly run special prices and advertise on every website. When we told Rosy we were withdrawing our daughter, she just said ok, with absolutely no expression or even a Im sorry to hear that, may I ask why? Please do NOT send your children here!

It is a very organized, clean place with efficient staff to assist you in both Spanish and English; providing personalized attention.Every week they have a different activity, they take pictures of your children to give them to you every week.My son is a baby, they treat him with so much affection and attention, you can see how they take care of them, stimulate and take care of every detail of their diet, food, and hygiene.Miss Deysi and Miss Delvis are the most loving and devoted to babies! My son comes to his living room so happy and offers his arms to go with the MissI am so happy that I chose this place to take care of my son!
