We follow the Creative Curriculum program, which is forward-thinking, comprehensive, research-proven, and respects a teacher’s critical role and creativity. Our curriculum is designed to meet each child’s developmental needs while fostering a love of learning. Children participate in enrichment themes throughout the year to bring practical knowledge and hands-on experiences into the classroom.
The play area is considered an extension of the classroom at Grace Neighborhood Academy. We encourage safe, supervised play that promotes physical development, social skills, and creativity. Our outdoor spaces provide opportunities for nature walks, picnics, and kinesthetic learning activities that boost the body as well as the mind. Through play, children develop problem-solving skills, learn cooperation, and build lasting friendships.
The safety and security of your child is our top priority. Our center is committed to maintaining the highest safety standards through:
We maintain compliance with all Pennsylvania Office of Child Development & Early Education regulations and hold a KEYSTONE STARS Level 4 rating, the highest quality designation available.
Meal time at Grace Neighborhood Academy is more than just developing healthy eating habits—it’s an opportunity to teach good manners, healthy nutrition, and respectful interaction with peers. We provide nutritious meals and snacks that meet USDA guidelines for early childhood nutrition. Our staff collaborates with parents to accommodate dietary needs, allergies, and cultural preferences. We participate in the state-sponsored lunch program to ensure all children have access to healthy, balanced meals.
School trips are great and memorable occasions at Grace Neighborhood Academy. Our carefully planned field trips are designed to provide children with immersive, fun, and educational experiences outside the classroom. These excursions reinforce classroom learning through real-world exploration and hands-on activities. From visits to local parks and libraries to cultural sites and educational facilities, field trips create lasting memories while supporting curriculum goals. Parents are always welcome to join us on these adventures!
