Nurturing Care at Grace Episcopal School

Led by Caitlin Powell, who holds a Master's in Education, the school emphasizes the "whole-child," focusing on emotional and spiritual growth alongside academic foundations.

Parents describe the atmosphere as a "nurturing gem" where learning happens organically. The faculty maintains an average tenure of nine years, offering stability and experience to the infants, toddlers, and preschoolers in their care.

I can only speak to the school part of Grace, but it is fantastic. Great staff who really love the kids. Learning seemed to happen pretty organically and the kids seem to really love going there and love their teachers.
Small church with great music and friendly people. They follow the traditional liturgy but both in English and Spanish. They also use contemporary music with piano strings,flute, really creative. Felt comfortable the moment I walked in. The leadership is also diverse and working hard to offer a lot of activities. If you are looking for a church, check this one out at 10:00 Sunday morning. They have a good website online too. I attended as regularly as I can now.
This was my parents' church in the 1980s and was active in the community even then. Now they have a lovely school and offer a warm and loving church home for singles, couples, and families alike. I highly recommend it even if you haven't been a regular church attender for a while. Grace Episcopal will make you feel welcome. You'll be glad you came.
