🌟 Every child deserves a strong start.

Grace Place's Bright Beginnings program is now available at two new locations:

📍 Boys & Girls Club of Collier County
📍 East Naples United Methodist Church

This free program helps children ages 0-5 develop the skills they need for kindergarten while equipping parents with the tools, resources, and confidence to support learning at home.

Through early childhood education, parent education, adult learning opportunities, and parent-child activities, families grow and learn together. Parents become empowered as their child's first teacher, creating a positive educational culture that benefits the entire family.

✨ Now enrolling families.

To learn more about enrollment opportunities contact Michelle Fonte at 239.255. 7271 or [email protected].

🎨Color mixing, creativity, and hands-on learning came together during PACT (Parents and Children Together) Time in our Bright Beginnings 3-year-old class!

Families gathered to read Mouse Paint before exploring the magic of color mixing through a fun three-day science project. Parents painted one hand in a primary color, children painted the other, and together they discovered what happened when colors mixed:

💜 Day 1: Red + Blue = Purple
🧡 Day 2: Red + Yellow = Orange
💚 Day 3: Blue + Yellow = Green

The children were amazed by the new colors they created and excited to share their discoveries with their parents. Experiences like these help build curiosity, confidence, and a love of learning while strengthening family engagement.
