Is Grace Learning Tree a private school?

Yes — Grace is a private, family-owned preschool and early learning center in Aledo, serving children from 6 weeks through a private transitional kindergarten (Kinder Bridge) year.

What does private preschool mean?

A private preschool is independently operated rather than run by a public school district. It can be family-owned (like Grace) or part of a larger franchise. Private preschools set their own curriculum, schedule, philosophy, and tuition.

Does Grace offer private Pre-K and private transitional kindergarten?

Yes. Grace's Pre-K (ages 4–5) is a full-day private Pre-K in Aledo, and our Kinder Bridge year is a private transitional kindergarten — both inside the same private, family-owned preschool.

What ages does Grace serve?

6 weeks through Kinder Bridge — infant, toddler, preschool, Pre-K, and a Kinder Bridge transitional kindergarten year.

Grace Learning Tree is a private, family-owned preschool in Aledo, Texas, founded in 2019 by Aledo mom Dawn Wright. We are not a franchise. We are not a chain.

What "private" means here

A private preschool is independently operated, not run by a public school district. Private preschools set their own curriculum, schedule, philosophy, and tuition. Grace is also family-owned — the school is owned and run by Dawn Wright, on site daily, not by a corporate franchise or a remote ownership group.

Parents in Aledo search for this in different words depending on the age they're looking at:

Private preschool Aledo — the general category we live in.
Private Pre-K Aledo — our full-day Pre-K (ages 4–5) inside the same private school. See Pre-K →
Private transitional kindergarten Aledo (or "TK") — our Kinder Bridge year (ages 5–6), an extra year before kindergarten. See Kinder Bridge →
Private early learning Aledo — the same idea, broadest term.

They all describe what Grace already is.

What you get in a private, family-owned preschool that you don't get elsewhere

An owner who is in the building every day and knows your child's name — not a regional manager who rotates across multiple locations.
Teachers who stay for years — long enough for your child to actually know them, and them to actually know your child.
Traditions and a curriculum built for Aledo families — not copied from a corporate template across a dozen states.
A faith-based option — Bible-rooted character formation woven into the day, alongside academic rigor.
Specific Aledo ISD kindergarten preparation — informed by Dawn's seven years on the Aledo Education Foundation Board.

Private — and licensed by the state

One thing private doesn't have to mean: outside the system. Grace is a licensed Texas child-care center under HHSC Chapter 746 — with routine unannounced inspections and a public inspection record at childcare.hhs.texas.gov. Some private programs in Texas operate under an exemption instead; Grace doesn't. (Why that matters: Licensed vs. license-exempt child care in Texas →)
