We have recently partnered with the state of Illinois opening our first Preschool For All classroom. We work closely with Child Care Resource and Referral’s Infant/Toddler specialist as well as their Child Care Quality specialist.

Our Story

Grace's Place, located in Naperville, Illinois, is an esteemed preschool and daycare facility conveniently situated in the heart of Naperville's community. Established by Grace Thompson in 2004, this unique haven for early childhood education holds a rich history of providing exceptional care, unparalleled education, and a nurturing environment where children can thrive. Grace, a passionate and experienced educator herself, created Grace's Place with the vision of offering children a welcoming setting where they can develop intellectually, emotionally, and socially. Following her career as an educator for over two decades, Grace had a profound understanding of the essence of early childhood development and saw the need for a comprehensive preschool program where children could grow holistically.

Since its inception, Grace's Place has dedicated itself to fostering growth and curiosity in young minds. The center prides itself on creating an atmosphere that sparks imagination, embraces individuality, and cultivates a love for learning from an early age. Employing a team of compassionate and well-trained teachers, Grace's Place possesses a strong professional background in the field of early childhood education. The educators keep themselves up to date with the latest pedagogical advancements to continuously enhance the quality of care and education provided.

At Grace's Place, the curriculum is carefully designed to cater to the unique needs and interests of each child. The center follows a play-based approach interwoven with intentional learning experiences, recognizing that children need freedom to explore and interact with their surrounding environment. This holistic plan entails individualized growth plans, hands-on activities, music, art, language development, and outdoor exploration, among other enriching opportunities.

In addition to exceptional care and education, Grace's Place champions a sense of community among families. The center encourages parental participation through events, family nights, volunteer opportunities, and digital communication. This sense of connectedness promotes an optimal learning atmosphere not only within the center's walls but also within each child's home.

Grace's Place takes pride in promoting their program and welcoming families from various backgrounds, cultures, and perspectives. With a focus on cultivating an inclusive space, the center fosters respect, understanding, and global awareness, allowing young children to develop into open-minded and empathetic individuals.

Grace's Place guarantees that their dedicated team of teachers remains up to date with safety protocols, First Aid certifications, and emerging topics in early childhood development. Above all else, the well-being and safety of children is paramount, and therefore, the staff is backed by secure facilities, stringent safety measures, and a rich network of resources to ensure each child thrives in a loving and protective environment.

Today, Grace's Place stands as a leader in early childhood development in Naperville. The school maintains its strong reputation as a nurturing and educational environment, bringing joy, wonder, and a lifelong love for learning to children as they embark on their educational journey. Through its dedication to cultivating growth, fostering community, promoting diversity, and prioritizing safety, Grace's Place embraces the individuality of each child and vows to build a solid foundation for their future success.
