About Our Program
by Kathy Bishop
Our Goal:
Grayville's Pre-K
program was established in 1988. It is completely funded through
grants that are administered by the Illinois State Board of
Education.
Our philosophy is simple: We believe that young children are like
sponges. They absorb information from the world around them by
touching, feeling, and manipulating the objects that are a part of
it. By providing the children of our community with abundant
opportunities to positively interact with other children and
adults, we are assisting them with the development of cognitive,
social, emotional, and spiritual skills that are essential in the
development of well rounded individuals.
About Us:

classroom teacher, has been with our program since its
