Full Ranking Detail
PreschoolTransitional KindergartenFaith-BasedFull Day
Growing in Grace Preschool is a California-licensed Day Care Center (license #543808937) on the Grace Christian School campus in Visalia, serving ages 2 through Transitional Kindergarten across four classrooms. Open from 7:00 AM to 5:45 PM Monday through Friday, the center combines developmentally age-appropriate instruction with Christian values, including chapel services for children ages 3 and up, and offers flexible scheduling (2, 3, or 5 days per week) with capacity for 78 children. The campus pathway to kindergarten provides continuity for families choosing to stay within the Grace Christian community, though the center's faith-based context and absence of infant care may not align with all families' needs. With one Type B citation across inspections since 2015 and no public parent reviews to independently assess day-to-day experience, prospective families may benefit from direct visits to the facility.
