About Our
Plano Location
The Personal Touch of Family-Owned Childcare.
The Structure of an Educational Center.
As a family-owned childcare center in Plano, we combine a loving, caring atmosphere with engaging educational programs designed to give students opportunities to explore, build skills, and discover new interests.
We believe children benefit from both structure and the freedom to play, ask questions, make friends, and try new things.
Here, caring for children and supporting their development are equally important parts of what we do.
Introducing the
G.R.A.C.E. Framework™
We believe preparing children for the future also means helping them explore their surroundings, develop relationships, try new things, and build confidence in their own abilities.
The G.R.A.C.E. Framework™ brings together five important principles behind our approach to care, learning, and development.

Choosing Childcare?
Know What to Look For
Our FREE guide, "10 Things to Look for When Choosing Childcare," helps you understand what really matters, from caring educators and learning opportunities to safety, communication, and preparing your child for what's next.
Learning That Goes Beyond the Worksheet
A child building a pretend grocery store is doing much more than playing in our kitchen areas. They're exploring numbers, using language, solving problems, expressing ideas, and learning how to interact with others.
These everyday learning opportunities are an important part of how we approach education at Grace's Place.
Our curriculum brings themes and subjects into engaging activities, so students can explore new concepts in ways that feel exciting and meaningful.
Our goal is to give children a balance of educational structure and enjoyable experiences that encourage them to stay curious, get involved, and keep learning.
