OUR MISSION

We are on a mission to raise up Christ-like leaders who are a light in the world. “Petite Lumière” means “little light.” We encourage our students to be a light wherever they go - in their school, their families, their friendships, and their sports teams. Children may be little, but their life has immeasurable worth and value with the ability to positively change the world.

OUR IMPACT

We accomplish our mission by impacting one child, one parent, and one teacher at a time. The intentional care we provide for each person in the educational community sets us apart as a school.

We value every “one” and believe:

One child who grows in wisdom, stature, and favor will be a light in the world.
One parent who feels seen, supported, and connected will be a light in the world.
One teacher who is loved, valued, and believed in will be a light in the world.

OUR CULTURE

We value and protect these truths within our school community. Each standard is foundational when we onboard new families, hire educators, and evaluate the success of our school.

We Preach the Gospel: In our songs, our curriculum, with our words and with our lives. We celebrate and share the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ in a way people can understand.

We Are Planted in Church: Active involvement in a local church is how we stay healthy spiritually and connected relationally.

We Lead Like Champions: Our confidence and competence is not based on our skill and talent, but on the glorious victory of our Savior Jesus Christ. We stand tall in that victory. Even our youngest children know: “I’m a leader, people follow me, I make wise decisions.”

We Serve the Whole Family: Exceptional care goes beyond the child. Parent involvement is key to educational success. We believe families thrive in a life-giving community where parents feel encouraged and equipped.

We Believe the Best in Each Other: Our parents, teachers, and administration partner together in a positive way to support the growth and development of our students. We communicate collaboratively with grace, encouragement and understanding.

We Continually Grow: Our curriculum, events, and conversations are designed to help us grow in all areas of life. We love learning and strive to become better students, teachers, and parents every day.

We Respect Each Other's Time: Our school hours are designed to protect times of rest and encourage a healthy work life balance.

We Dress For Success: Our appearance reflects the spirit of excellence and professionalism that our school carries.

We Create a Safe Environment: Our words, our staff, our policies and procedures ensure the physical and emotional safety of the people we serve.

We Speak the Truth in Love: We don’t shy away from conversations that make us better. We call each other higher and speak honestly with a heart of compassion.

We Value a Child's God-given Identity: God wonderfully and immutably created each child as male or female to reflect the image of God. We raise our children to be in alignment with who God says they are.

We Love What We Get to Do: It is our greatest joy and honor to be trusted with raising up the next generation.

our team

As we began to build this school, we prayed for teachers who were overqualified and passionate about raising up Christ-like leaders. We searched high and low for people who would carry our vision with excellence and ownership. The team we built is truly special. We can’t wait for you to meet them!

Allie Grice: School Director

Kacey stokes: Global Next Gen Pastor

Allie holds a B.S. in Educational Studies and a B.A. in Psychology from Southern Methodist University, graduating with honors in the Liberal Arts. After obtaining her teaching certification, she began her career in Frisco ISD, where she discovered a passion for early childhood education. In 2021, Allie stepped out of the public school system to build Little World Changers, a Christian in-home childcare program designed to partner closely with families in raising kind, confident young leaders. This experience laid the foundation for the launch of Petite Lumière Preparatory School, which she helped lead under the spiritual covering of Shoreline City Church. Since 2018, Allie has actively served in Shoreline City's children’s ministry writing curriculum for children ages 2–6. Outside of the classroom, Allie dreams of becoming a mom one day and cherishes her role as an honorary “Auntie” to many little ones in her life. She and her husband, Marc, love traveling the world—Switzerland has been their favorite destination so far!

Kacey holds a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Texas at Arlington. She and her husband, Ben, have been a part of Shoreline City Church since the beginning and have faithfully served on staff for 13 years. Together, they have the incredible honor of leading as Campus Pastors at the Frisco location. They are proud parents to two amazing young adults, ages 18 and 20, and love traveling and spending quality time with family. Kacey is passionate about raising up the next generation of Christ-like leaders. In addition to her pastoral role, she leads Shoreline City's global Kids Teams—spanning from infants through college-aged students. Her heart for family, discipleship, and leadership development is reflected in everything she does, both in the local church and beyond.
