Our Story
Giving at Grace
At Grace Preschool, we are dedicated to providing a safe, nurturing environment where every child feels cherished, supported, and inspired to grow. We believe in the power of play as the foundation for learning, and we celebrate each child’s unique path of discovery through social interaction, creativity, and exploration. By fostering a loving community and offering enriching, age-appropriate experiences, we aim to spark a lifelong love of learning and empower children to thrive with confidence and joy.
At Grace Preschool, we are proud to offer a nurturing, enriching, and safe environment where our youngest learners can grow, explore, and thrive. This mission is made possible through the generosity of our community—your support truly makes all the difference.
As we move forward with two important fundraising efforts, we want to clearly explain how each one supports our school in different but equally vital ways.
The Grace Fund: Annual Giving
​
The Grace Fund is our annual giving campaign, designed to bridge the gap between tuition and the full cost of providing a high-quality preschool experience. Your yearly contributions to the Grace Fund directly support:
​

Professional development opportunities for faculty and staff
-
Small class sizes and low teacher-student ratios
-
Building maintenance and campus improvements
-
Security enhancements and cleaning services
-
CPR and first aid training for all staff
-
Speech and Occupational Therapy Screenings
Gifts to the Grace Fund immediately impact the day-to-day operations that keep Grace Preschool exceptional. This fund is essential every year.

Igniting Imagination - A Capital Campaign ​
​
Capital Campaign is a one-time fundraising initiative focused on a special project: building a new, innovative, and sustainable playground. This new space will inspire creativity, imagination, and joyful movement, extending our mission of learning through play in an outdoor setting.
​
Our current playground has served us well, but it is time for an upgrade to create a modern, inclusive, and safe space for children of all abilities. The new design will feature:
-
Age-appropriate equipment that encourages physical activity and imaginative play
-
Safe and accessible surfaces for children of all mobility levels
-
Shaded areas for comfort during warm months
-
Spaces designed for community gathering and social connection
This playground will be more than just a play space—it will ignite imagination and inspire creativity.​ This campaign is about building something lasting. It's an investment in the future of Grace Preschool that will benefit current and future students for many years to come.
How Can You Help?
Each campaign has a different purpose, but both are essential to Grace’s success. The Grace Fund keeps us going day by day. The Capital Campaign helps us grow. By supporting both, you’re ensuring that Grace continues to thrive now and in the future.
​
We invite you to consider how your family might support both efforts:
​
-
Make a gift to the Grace Fund today to help us meet our annual goals. Every gift, no matter the size, makes a difference. Board, teacher, and parent participation matters for federal and state grant opportunities.
-
Consider a special or one-time gift to Ignite Imagination, Grace’s Capital Campaign—a meaningful way to build a new legacy for Grace Preschool.
We are deeply grateful for your ongoing support and belief in our mission. With your help, we will continue to build a preschool where children feel safe, valued, and ready to explore the world around them—both inside and out.
