Petite Lumière
About
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
Allany Alarape: Assistant Director
Aubrey has a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Southern Methodist University and has had the joy of serving on staff at Shoreline City Church for over ten years. She currently serves as Shoreline City’s Global Next Gen Director and is in the process of earning her master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy.

Aubrey and her husband are parents to their three-year-old daughter, Stella, who also attends Petite Lumière. As a Petite parent, this community is especially meaningful to her. She cares deeply about Petite being an amazing place where parents can feel confident and at peace knowing their children are receiving the very best care, are deeply loved, and are being empowered to grow into confident, courageous leaders. Her family is so grateful for the heart and vision behind Petite Lumière and loves being part of a community that is so intentionally investing in the next generation and helping raise up little lights who will shine brightly for Jesus.
Allie has Bachelor’s degrees in Educational Studies and Psychology from Southern Methodist University and graduated 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. Allie and her husband, Marc, have been planted at Shoreline City Church for over ten years. Allie actively served in children’s ministry for most of those years writing curriculum and equipping serve team members to bring peace and structure to classrooms. Allie is passionate about raising up teachers and students to be Christ-like leaders who are a light in the world. Her dream is for the Petite Lumière community to be filled with kind friends and confident leaders who love God and shine His light wherever they go. Outside of the classroom, Allie also dreams of becoming a mom one day and cherishes her role as an honorary “Auntie” to many little ones in her life.
Allany has a Bachelor’s degree in Pre-Med from North Park University in Chicago. Her professional experience spans nonprofit organizations, human resources, business management for daycares, and ministry leadership. She has been planted at Shoreline City Church since 2025 and currently serves as Petite Lumière’s Assistant Director. Allany and her husband, Abraham, are blessed with three children: Zekiah, Amorè, and Gospel. Together, they consider it their greatest privilege to steward their family and to use the gifts God has given them to love and serve others. The Alarape family is deeply grateful to be part of the Petite Lumière community, not only through Allany’s role, but also as parents whose own children are growing and flourishing within its care. Allany is committed to bringing Petite Lumière’s vision of raising Christ-like leaders to life while ensuring each person is seen, valued, and cared for. She believes that when we intentionally invest in children and the people who shape their lives, we lay a foundation for stronger families and thriving communities. Allany hopes to build something meaningful at Petite Lumière that will make a lasting impact for generations to come.
