A Place For Grace Child Care Center

Capacity; ratio and group size requirements (13) Written approval from the department must be obtained before making any changes in the terms of the license, including, but not limited to, adding use space, changing age groups served, changing program components, changing the capacity of the center, or making changes to a room or well-defined space that will result in a change in capacity of the room or well-defined space.

The Licensee/Program Administrator Jenny Dumont-Radler had in fact requested a modification to add school-age and preschool age children to the license. Assigned child care licensing consultant Kristy Williams modified the license on 3/30/2026, however there was a glitch in the CCHIRP system that failed to update that the center was approved to accept children over the age of 30 months.
