Our Mission
To provide a high-quality early childhood experience in a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment
while experiencing the joy of learning.
In addition, to prepare students with the foundational skills needed to enter kindergarten.
Our Vision
To create a strong emotional, intellectual, and spiritual foundation for preschoolers.
To offer a structured educational program balanced with group and individual exploration and play – a most valuable form of learning.
To grow in faith and love through weekly chapel.

I am genuinely excited for what Grace Episcopal Church is bringing to the community through the school. After much reflective research, the church felt called to serve the children and young families of our community with a year-round preschool. I am humbled to be a part of this vision.

Kelli Dingle, Preschool Teacher
Preschool Teacher Bio
Grace Episcopal School welcomes Kelli Dingle as our Preschool Teacher. Kelli has taught preschool and kindergarten children for six years. She graduated from the University of Texas San Antonio with a bachelor’s degree in interdisciplinary studies for EC-6th grade.
Following in her mother’s footsteps, Kelli has always wanted to teach. She learned early on the value of education and the importance of early childhood learning and development.
She has a desire to share the love of Jesus to the littlest of hearts and minds. This commitment is not limited to the young. While at college, she helped start a women’s ministry group to help spread the love of Jesus to other students. Kelli is very active in her church and in youth ministry.
“I love working with children and seeing their eyes light up when they discover something new and doing my best to give them a head start to a bright future.”
Staff and Leadership
The school staff includes a highly qualified director, certified teachers, and educational aides. The staff is required to undergo a background check and complete training in Safeguarding God’s Children, CPR, First Aid and other continuing education.

Program Information
Our preschool curriculum is based on the TEKS (Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills) Prekindergarten Guidelines and supplemented by the following comprehensive and researched based programs:
• ABCJesusLovesMe - academic and developmentally appropriate curriculum
• Zoophonics - a whole brain approach to learning letters and sounds
• Godly Play - explores God’s presence through stories, wonder, and play.
Most of what children learn is discovered through play. The school’s playground is spacious and designed for fun. The playground equipment features three slides and a climbing wall built to encourage movement and pretend play.
