Grace Church Pre-School offers a half-day program that provides an environment for children to develop—physically, socially, emotionally, and intellectually—with the belief that young children learn through PLAY.
It offers activities in Art, Music, Science, and Storytelling.
The program offers provision for active and quiet periods and a balance between teacherdirected and child-initiated activities. Classes are small, providing for individualized attention and enabling the Staff to build positive self-images for children.
The emphasis is human understanding…And there is love!
On Tuesday after Labor Day, 1962, Grace Church Pre-School, 6177 Waterman, opened its doors for the first time.
It had been perceived that there was a need for early childhood services in the community and Grace United Methodist Church assumed responsibility as part of its mission.
The school has generated a great amount of good-will and warm feelings for Grace.
To date, more than 700 children throughout the area have been involved in the half-day program.
