Thank you to our amazing teachers and volunteers! Grace is the place it is because of you, and our kids are so lucky that their first school experience is with this wonderful team.

Come celebrate Earth Day at Grace Cooperative Preschool! Families are invited to join us for a fun morning in the preschool backyard, featuring environmentally-themed arts and crafts, educational displays about vermiculture and home gardens, a book exchange, and…Jungle James and his animal friends! Admission is free, and the event runs from 10:30 am – noon. We hope you can join us!

Wishing you all a Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Hoping those leprechauns didn’t pull TOO many pranks at your home!

Happy International Women’s Day! Sesame Street friends from all over the world have a special message for today! (See link below for video)

March 14 is “Pi Day” – what better way to celebrate than with “Pajama Math” with your preschooler?

A former Grace parent, Traci Bonde, is now the CTO of Dublin Unified School District. She was recently interviewed by OneDublin.org, and had some helpful insights to share with parents about kids and the internet.
