Our Curriculum
GraceKids utilizes Pinnacle, a Christian faith-based curriculum, to enable our teachers to plan meaningful learning experiences for your children. Our curriculum incorporates exploration, self-initiation, and discovery learning. Teachers act as facilitators to help children discover new concepts, and plan enrichments based on each child's strengths, interests, needs and individual learning styles. Everyday at GraceKids, children are exposed to language enrichment, math/manipulative play, science/sensory play, social skill building, creative arts, music, fitness, and outdoor time. In addition, our PreK classroom uses the Handwriting Without Tears curriculum to build fine motor and writing skills and prepare for kindergarten.
As part of our curriculum, GraceKids children participate weekly in Chapel time led by the Grace church ministers and leadership team. Through songs and Bible stories, our children grow in their faith and understanding of God's love for them.
We also partner with the Birmingham Zoo to present "Little Explorers" to our toddlers and preschool children twice a month. This is an exciting, hands-on time of exploring nature and science, and meeting live animal visitors.
Other extra-curricular activities are available to enrolled children for additional fees.
