About This Cause
The School of Grace is an incorporated, non-profit, half-day, parent participatory preschool serving children ages 6 months through 5 years. Our classes include children from refugee families, children with special needs and typically developing children. Our children from refugee families receive full scholarships, along with transportation to and from school. The School of Grace believes in being in tune with its families, encouraging friendships, parental involvement, and active participation. Parents assist the teachers in the classrooms and serve on committees. Our Board of Directors is parent majority. Our parents tell us that they are better parents because of their participation in The School of Grace, gaining ideas for developmentally appropriate practices and learning from teachers as they provide a positive environment for the children. We were founded in Raleigh in 1994 and received our 501(c)(3) status in 1995, beginning classes soon thereafter. We at The School of Grace believe that children are individuals who are active, avid learners and are deserving of respect and love. We believe that children are citizens of their environment and that learning stems from all that surrounds them. This environment within the school setting includes play, social and peer interactions, speech and language development, cognitive skills, social and emotional development, appreciation and respect for nature. We believe children should have guided, hands-on learning, which we feel will help the child become more independent and self-sufficient. Children will also be encouraged to make choices within limits. We are adamant believers in the use of positive discipline where each child can learn to take responsibility for his or her actions. We believe children should be given enough opportunities for appropriate behavior to discourage inappropriate behavior. We strongly advise modeling the appropriate behavior and mannerisms that we expect each age group of children to follow. Expectations are varied depending on age level. The School of Grace admits students of any race, color, and national or ethnic origin.
