We are thrilled that you are considering becoming part of the Graceview Family. Graceview ELC is a licensed Child Care Facility, and a ministry of Graceview Baptist Church. We typically serve children ages 6 weeks through PreK, with school age kids on campus during the Summer. We are thrilled to be able to welcome school age kids to our campus during the up-coming school year while the COVID-19 education related disruptions in our State remains so fluid. Our Fall program begins Wednesday, August 5, with our “Warm Up Session” and our official “Learning Labs: Session 1” begin with the earliest local school district’s start date, August 18. Please complete and return the Google “Learning Labs Registration Application” by 8/1. We hope that this letter answers many questions that you are likely to have.

REGISTRATION:

With that commitment, a $50 registration fee will be due immediately and will hold your child’s spot on our roster. All payments are handled online.
