Where Education, Love, and Care Come Together

Family Child Care

Welcome to EAC! Early Academy Childcare was started with YOU in mind! My name is Muriel Grigsby. I am the Owner and Director of Early Academy Childcare. I have my degree in Early Childhood Education and have worked in the child care field since 1994. My goal is to provide your children with stimulating and enjoyable educational experiences in a loving, Christian environment.

Mission Statement and Philosophy

I believe children learn best in a nurturing, child initiated play-based environment that fosters self-confidence, trust and a passion for learning. My mission is to provide a loving, caring and safe learning environment that challenges each individual child at his or her own rate of development.

"About Us"

WELCOME TO OUR PRESCHOOL My name is Shawn Grigsby, and my wife, Muriel, and I moved to Rossville a few years ago with the goal of creating a high-quality preschool for families who seek the best for their children. Muriel brings extensive experience in the childcare industry, while my background is in engineering. Together, we form a strong husband-and-wife team commited to providing exceptional care. Muriel is actively involved in daily interactions with parents and children, ensuring a nurturing and engaging environment. Meanwhile, I handle the administrative aspects of our business, including finances, security, website managment, and the upkeep of our facilities. In addition to these responsiblities, I also maintain a full-time engineering position in Lafayette. We are dedicated to creating the best possible environment for your preschooler. Our commitment is reflected in the transformation of our home and property to support engaging, safe, and innovative indoor and outdoor learning experiences. We continually invest in the latest technology and innovations to enhance the educational opportunities for your children. We are deeply grateful for the blessings we have received and are excited about the opportunity to meet and work with you and your children. Warm Regards, Shawn Grigsby
