Special Programs
The hallmark of Little Graces has become our LAMB Program; Language, Arts, Music and Beyond. Through LAMB we will provide specialized instruction in a wide variety of subjects such as Spanish, sign language, experiential art, interactive storytelling, music fundamentals and appreciation, instruments, creative movement, hands-on science, and cooking/nutrition. We believe that the breadth of these enriching opportunities is essential to the development of a happy, challenged, and well-rounded student.
Through your suggestions and insight, we continue to discover new and better ways to serve our students, staff and the community. Thanks to the generous support of our community, our Little Graces have experienced an array of wonderful programs:
- Class field trips
