Q: How much does GRACE Littles cost?

A: All classes at GRACE have a $7 class fee. GRACE Littles classes also include the following supplies fees:

Q: Do my kids in GRACE Littles have to stay for the full session?

A: No, your child does not need to stay for the full session. However, please note that the classes for GRACE Littles are registered as one complete class, not as three separate periods, and the cost is not pro-rated if children leave early. Also, if they leave early, the little will have to leave in the middle of a fun activity. If your child is enrolled in a GRACE Littles class, you may not take them in and out of the class throughout the day. If the child is enrolled in the class and they are on campus, then they need to stay in the class for the duration of the day.

Q: How is GRACE Littles different from the rest of the GRACE program?

A: Both GRACE and GRACE Littles follow the same schedule in regards to start-, end-, and lunch-times. However, while regular GRACE classes are divided into 50-minutes periods, GRACE Littles just one morning session.

Also, there are a variety of classes to take for elementary through high school students and parents can choose from these classes; students will rotate from classroom to classroom throughout the day. However, with GRACE Littles, students stay in one class all session and the class subjects and activities are determined by the coordinator and teacher.

Q: Do kids in the GRACE Littles classes play outside?

A: We are blessed to have a playground with turf area for our Littles to use. Our Friends, Fishers, Shepherds, and Disciples classes are all designated separate hours for playtime outside. The playground is fenced-in and playtime is supervised by all the class teachers and helpers. Teachers also set time aside for indoor playtime as well.

Q: Who oversees the GRACE Littles sessions?

A: There is a GRACE Littles coordinator overseeing the program. This coordinator will help out with the various GRACE Littles classrooms throughout each session. Each GRACE Littles class is run by a lead teacher, who is in the class for all three periods.

Q: Who teaches the GRACE Littles sessions?

A: Each GRACE Littles class will be taught from start to end by a lead teacher; each teacher will be accompanied by content teachers, and parent- and student-helpers.

Q: Can I come in and visit my child’s GRACE Littles class when I’m free?

A: Absolutely! You are welcome to visit any of your children in any of their classes at any time. However, we ask that if you come in to visit, please be mindful of the activities and serve as a helper and not as a distraction (chatting with other moms, taking your child aside, etc..)

Q: How are parent-job credits assigned for GRACE Littles coordinators and teachers?

A: According to the table below, the GRACE Littles coordinator and GRACE Littles lead teachers both earn 5 credits, content teachers earn 3 credits, and GRACE Littles class helpers earn 1 credit.

Families that have children in both the regular GRACE and GRACE Littles programs do not incur separate credit obligations; each family will only have one credit obligation based on their time on at co-op.
