My two daughters attended Grace school and daycare. My youngest started Grace daycare at 7 months. For the first few months she cried at dropoff but quickly connected with the great care at the school. The school required her to be potty trained before advancing classes and helped. My oldest daughter started in TK and stayed until 5th grade. The teachers and school staff were great! The class sizes were small and well equipped. The school had multiple small plays and ceremonies involving the students for the parents. I had to withdraw my daughters because we moved but Grace set such a high standard that we haven't been satisfied with the schools and daycares in our new area. read more

Grace Christian Schools - School Play - Preschools Near Me - Escondido, California

My son has been at Grace Christian School since 2nd grade, and it's been one of the best decisions I've made. It's more than just a school--it's a faith-centered community where Christian values are lived out daily through prayer, chapel, and encouragement. The teachers and staff are incredibly caring and teach with genuine dedication. With smaller class sizes, they provide individualized attention, thoughtful accommodations, and meaningful challenges so each student can succeed at their own level. The strong curriculum, combined with a close-knit, family-like environment, has helped my son grow tremendously in both confidence and character. I've always felt supported as a partner in his education. Grade-level field trips bring classroom learning to life, and opportunities like sports, music, and STEM programs help students explore their interests and build confidence. Community events like the Harvest Festival and Car Show create a welcoming atmosphere and truly make Grace feel like a second family. Most importantly, Grace provides an excellent Christian education in a loving, nurturing environment. I'm grateful for the positive impact they've had on my son and highly recommend Grace Christian School to any family seeking strong academics, faith-based values, and a supportive community. read more

My child has been at Grace since preschool and is currently in 6th grade. Absolutely amazing school with wonderful teachers and staff and likeminded parents. We are very grateful to have such a wonderful school and community!!! read more

A little over a year ago I would have given this preschool 5 stars but it has gone down hill! Terrible communication and organization by the new director, schedules aren't followed, the policies aren't being followed in the handbook that is posted, information is not updated in the handbook, and I haven't been asked to update any of my child's required licensing paper work since the old director left. Not enough teachers in the room and my potty trained child was being put in pull ups because there wasn't enough staff to take the kids to the restroom! Not sure how coincidental this is, but 4 of their teachers that had been @ Grace FOREVER, left after the summer. I will say that my child's teacher was wonderful and did the best she could with the amount of children in her room. Wish she had more support! My child learned so much and loved going to school but there wasn't consistency with the afternoon teachers (seemed like there was a different one everyday). We were able to pick up our child without showing any type of identification to teachers we had never met before or who had never met us. I pray that change is made and the preschool gets back to where is was before the past director left. It was such a wonderful school in our community. read more

Greatest preschool/day are center my daughter has been to. The teachers make it a point to know the children individually. Small class sizes. I'm convicted the preschool director Bre knows every child and a parent by their name! My daughter loves her teachers. She has learned so much in the little time she's been there (4ish months!). Definitely recommend for children of all ages! read more

This is a great school. Small class sizes, very caring teaching staff, new technology, a complete education - spirit, mind, and body. Terrific connection with other parents and kids - you have to come check out this school. Terrific fellowship opportunities for the entire family... Very active and friendly people. The preschool is recently remodeled and the kids absolutely love it. read more

Grace is a school full of loving people who worship together and put feet to their faith! We seek to be excellent as the Lord is excellent, and this touches all we do. When Light & Life and Grace merged in 2015, they prayerfully brought together the best of the two schools. Now, with a beautifully maintained campus, fully integrated technology, music, art, sports, and a huge variety of Middle School electives (like Gardening, Cooking, video, photo, journalism, a variety of music, Javascript, and new offerings all the time!), we are prouder than ever to be Leopards! Come visit our campus-- we'd love to meet you! read more

I can only speak for elementary and I think the teachers here are so caring and loving to the kids. The teacher to children ratio are good, about 20-25 a class. Academically our kids are doing well and have opportunities to be exposed to advance options when they grasp the curriculum well. There are after school activities from sports, music, and STEM classes, the prices are good and the kids have fun learning. Most importantly Grace provides Christian education and we want our kids to grow up learning in this environment. read more

I had high hopes for this school for my son, he's been at Grace since 5th grade. If it wasn't for Mrs. Kara I would have never chosen this school she was amazing made me feel comfortable to enroll my son. Down side is there's a lot of favoritism!! Certain kids get treated better than others. Complaint I have is the director for the preschool side called my son out of his name, when addressed to Mr. Elliot he completely dismissed me had absolutely no follow up what so ever. If your not one of his favored parents don't bother bringing up stuff to him he clearly doesn't care. I read old posts about a teacher Mrs. Zabinsky (middle school) and how she was as a teacher I didn't believe it until my son had her as a teacher, talk about unprofessional and extremely rude to a 11-12 yr old all the rude comments about her are 100% true. She talks down to her students and acts like she's working for free. When you pay as much as the parents do for a great education you don't expect that type of behavior from a teacher. Mr. Elliot asked me why I hadn't re enrolled my son I brought up the list of problems this teacher had once again he had no follow up what so ever, he said he's have her reach out to me she never did because clearly they don't care. I know a couple parents who took their kids out of this school for the same reason and enrolled them to Escondido Christian school and have had way better luck over there. No favoritism at that school everyone is treated equally. If your looking for a school to make your kid feel like they are worthless then this is the school. read more

Caring teachers who teach from their heart. With smaller class sizes than public schools and this intimate environment , it's like a second family and the students can be challenged at their level of learning, whether advanced or needing a nudge. Have one child finished and THRIVING in high school after his excellent preparation from Grace and another in middle school now and blossoming into a wonderful young lady. Students get a chance to experience soccer, football ( flag for girls), volleyball,softball, track opening doors to their interests and strengths. read more
