If you live in Annetta, Annetta North, or Annetta South, Grace Learning Tree is one of the closer licensed preschools to your home — and we serve children from 6 weeks through Kinder Bridge in our two-suite home on E Bankhead Hwy in Aledo, just a few minutes east.
Drive time from Annetta
Annetta families typically reach Grace in 5 to 10 minutes, depending on whether you're in Annetta proper, Annetta North, or Annetta South.
Family-owned by Dawn Wright and on campus daily. A named curriculum you can look up (Frog Street). Teachers who stay. Full-day, year-round. Licensed by Texas HHSC. And — the intersection nobody else in Aledo offers — a warm Christian preschool environment inside a private, family-owned school. Built here for the families of Aledo, not printed from a corporate template.
Why Annetta families choose Grace
Annetta is a community where families know each other — small enough that what you choose for your child is often the same thing your neighbors choose. Grace is a natural fit: a family-owned school with the founder on campus daily, a publicly named curriculum (Frog Street), a full age range from infant through Kinder Bridge, and the kind of consistent teaching staff that small communities like Annetta value over corporate franchise infrastructure. Faith is integrated gently into the daily rhythm — many Annetta families specifically sought a faith-based school, while others appreciate the values without identifying as practicing Christians.
When you're comparing preschools near Annetta
Most Annetta families tour a few schools before deciding. We encourage that. Here are the questions we'd suggest asking at every tour:
- Who's the director, and are they on site every day? Family-owned schools have a single accountable decision-maker. Larger centers may have a regional manager covering multiple locations.
- What curriculum framework do they use — and can they name it? A real curriculum has a name (Frog Street, Creative Curriculum, HighScope, Montessori). "Proprietary" or "in-house" is often the dodge of a school without a real framework.
- How long have the teachers been there? Teacher tenure is one of the strongest predictors of preschool quality. Years > months.
- What's the full school calendar? A school that closes 30+ extra days a year quietly multiplies your real childcare cost.
Two free tools that make this easier: our 12-point Aledo Tour Checklist and our Preschool Value Calculator (it shows real per-day cost after closures and fees). Bring them to every tour, including Grace's.
