I am a parent of 2 children that attend Grace Lutheran's preschool. I have also collaborated professionally with staff there. I can not say more positive things about this school. The teachers and administration are warm and nurturing. It feels like a family and my children are incredibly happy. I am allured by the tuition fee public schools, but I just don't think that I will be able to take my kids out of this wonderful school.
