A lot of Parker County families live out west and work east, in Fort Worth. If that's you, the right preschool isn't necessarily the closest one to your house — it's the one that's already on your drive. Grace Learning Tree sits in Aledo, just off I-20 on the east edge of Parker County, which puts it right along the morning commute for families coming from Weatherford, Brock, Santo, Mineral Wells, and the communities farther west. Drop-off becomes part of the trip you're already making.
Grace isn't in Weatherford or Mineral Wells — and we'd never pretend otherwise. What Grace is, is directly on the route thousands of west-Parker-County parents already drive toward Fort Worth every morning. That's a different and often better kind of convenient.
Why "on the way" beats "close to home" for commuters
If you drive east to work, a preschool back west of your house means doubling back — out of your way in the morning and again at night. A school on your eastbound route means you're never backtracking. For a family making the Fort Worth drive five days a week, that can be the difference of real time every single day.
Home in west Parker County → drop-off in Aledo (right on I-20) → on to Fort Worth. Same road, same direction, one easy stop. Pickup is simply the reverse on your way home.
Where our commuting families come from
Grace welcomes families from across the western Parker County corridor who travel toward Fort Worth:
Weatherford
A short drive east on I-20. Drop off in Aledo on your way into Fort Worth — often faster than a school in the opposite direction.
Brock
Just southwest of Weatherford. Families heading toward Fort Worth pass right through the Aledo corridor.
Santo
Out west on I-20. For Santo families commuting east, Grace is a natural stop along the interstate route.
Mineral Wells
Northwest of Weatherford. Commuters funneling toward Fort Worth via US-180 and I-20 find Grace right on the way.
West & Far-West Fort Worth
For families on the far-west edge of Fort Worth, Grace offers a calmer, family-owned alternative just over the county line in Aledo.
