OUR MISSION

Grateful Hearts Early Childcare & Preschool is committed to delivering high-quality Christian care. We strive for staff, families, and children to be safe, kind, and helpful while providing support and opportunities to grow socially, emotionally, cognitively, physically, and spiritually.

A child will never be turned away due to race, sex, color, creed, national origin, handicap or ancestry.
