About Grace Child Center (GCC)

Established in 1974 by Grace Episcopal Church New Orleans, Grace Child Center (GCC) is operated by Grace Child Center, Inc., a Louisiana non-profit corporation governed by its own board of directors. The Center is funded by modest sliding-scale tuition fees, United Way and other grants, and subsidies from Grace Church. GCC is strictly non-denominational and non-discriminatory in the provision of services to children and families, and our program includes care and mainstream experience for children with special needs.

The Center offers child care and a developmental pre-school for children ages 2 to 5. We also sponsor a summer camp. Our comprehensive program is designed to improve the emotional, social, language, cognitive, and physical development of children.

Grace Child Center provides a safe, caring, bilingual (English/Spanish) environment. Children are provided with nutritious meals and snacks, their immunization records are monitored, and speech/hearing screenings are offered. The Center encourages parent involvement in educational, nutritional, and health projects. An expansion of Grace Church’s ministry through the Center will offer classes in parenting skills including nutrition information and in English as a second language.

For 32 years, GCC provided for the needs of the children in our area. With our reopening in January 2008 in an improved state-of-the-art setting including a children’s kitchen garden, we look forward to many more years of even greater success.
