My daughter has attended GAC since birth and still does! I consider my family fortunate enough to have found a daycare that cares about providing the necessary tools spiritually and mentally that she will need when she starts Pre-K. The staff here have been super sensitive to my families needs and wishes and my toddler absolutely loves her teachers. I have given plenty of special instruction for diaper changes and lunch time and I have never had a problem with teachers following them. Mrs. Bridgette the old Director is no longer with GAC and Mrs. Donna is amazing! I think if you take a tour and meet the people who are actually running it, you will be happy with your child enrolling. I can't disagree more with some of the negative posts here about this Center. Behavior is something I have seen the staff work through time and time again with children and parents. I'm a member of the church that supports this play school and I know that they care deeply for the families at Grace-A-Child and the church. I would say if a child was removed from this facility it was more than likely for a really good reason. A meeting with the Pastor and his wife would definitely clear up any confusion there may be about this. The webcams are an amazing feature that allow my wife and I to check on our little girl while we work and our family from Louisiana even log in with our password and check on her. They are in the process of building a NEW center which will be even better with the technology than this one. If you are searching for a safe, clean, and friendly place for your children, I recommend Graceachild. read more

I visited every daycare in Christiansburg and Blacksburg and was left with great disappointment. I was extremely nervous about leaving my newborn with a daycare center full time. I knew this would be his second home and due to the fact I am finishing vet school he would spend more hours with his caretakers then myself. I fell in love with grace of child the moment I walked in. He got individualized care from his main caretakers. They went out of their way to communicate what his days were like and how he was developing. Whenever there was a slight change with staffing the director was quick to calm any worries I may have about the changes for my son. He was an extremely fussy baby, who often refused to nap. His caretakers involved me with different options and techniques that would help him with his napping. The communication was key in setting a routine for him. When it was time to move him to the toddler room they made the process so simple for him. He is reaching his milestones ahead of schedule and I credit that to a lot of their teaching! I also love that they get to go outside and play. I cannot say enough great things about this place. I will be very sad when we move and my son will have to leave. He loves the women who care for him. read more

GAC has a great staff who are always friendly and caring to parents and children. My toddler has gone from crying at drop off to giggling and smiling when she sees her teacher Mrs. Patsy. I can't put a price on the relief it is knowing that my child is safe and HAPPY where she is while I'm at work. I love being able to log in on the camera and watch her day, it is a great reassurance to me and my family (grandmother in another state) being able to do this. I also love that the front door of the facility is secure and parents must be buzzed in to enter. The church that is associated with this play school is wonderful as well. Pastor Roberts is always willing to counsel or pray for your family even in the AM hours if needed. I am truly impressed and I can definitely say that they are what they say they are. The price is affordable and the care my children receive is amazing, I would recommend you try this Center before going anywhere else! read more

My son has attended GAC since he was 3 months old except for a year when my wife stayed home with him. He has been back there for over a year now. The camera access is great and the teachers are great. If it weren't for the teachers helping each morning I would never be able to leave him. They help get him involved each morning so I can go to work. With the new school coming soon the upgrades that are being done for safety and learning the school should be the best in the area. The management at the school has a open forum with parents who desire to attend every 3 months. The parents that attended the last one gave good ideas which are being implemented. We have looked at some other daycare that have opened in the area in the past year but GAC is still the best choice for us. read more

My son was there quite a few years ago and hurt his teeth pretty badly on the play equipment. While I know accidents happen I am still very upset that he wasn't watched better, especially since it wasn't play time. He is now 9 years old and we are still battling with very expensive dental work and the "mouth trauma" he received while in their care. If that's not bad enough, he was never happy when I picked him up and all they could do was complain about him. We changed facilities very quickly and I never had another problem. He was a perfect angel. This place is a disaster that I'll never forget and sadly neither will my son... read more

I want to start out by saying these comments from people are completely untrue and posted out of anger and spite. All three of my children have attended Grace-A-Child and we have been very pleased with their service. Their preschool program is phenomenal; Not only were my children exposed to in-depth lessons that allowed them to excel academically, they were introduced to religious concepts that allowed them to grow in the light of God. Overall, my experience with both the staff and the leadership at Grace-A-Child was amazing read more

I love Grace-A-Child! I have been a Lifeshaper for over 3 years. All of the parents and staff are great! I love that it is a Christian based childcare. It shows the God our father shine his love through the care and nurture to the children, parents and Lifeshapers. We are so blessed to have such a wonderful place to bring our children but to know that the love and care they are going to receive. read more

My son enjoys his daycare and I feel he is in good hands everyday. His teachers have all been great to him, when he tells me he misses them I know they must be doing something right. They have an indoor playroom that helps a toddler release some energy even on rainy and cold days. And their 1st Fridays to keep older kids until 9:00 pm is an awesome perk. read more

Both of my children have attended/are attending Grace-A-Child USA. The Lifeshapers have always treated my children as their own and we couldn't happier with our experience. I have recommended Grace-A-Child USA to all of my friends, family and even strangers. If you are looking for Christian based childcare, Grace-A-Child USA is the place to be! read more
