Today we’d like to introduce you to Morgan And Joseph Tuilovoni
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
Petite Lumière Prep School was started with a dream in our hearts 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.
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.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
We are passionate about creating a culture by design and not one by default. We have a clear vision for what we want to accomplish as a school and how we want to make an impact in our community.
While we wouldn’t say it’s been challenging, it has been an investment of time and intentionality to cast vision and properly train our teachers to understand the honor it is that we are trusted with as educaters to partner so closely with parents in raising their kids.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
At Petite Lumiere we are passionate about raising up leaders. We want children to know from the earliest age that their life has meaning and purpose and they have the ability to make a difference.
Practical ways we help develop leadership for our students is giving them leadership responsibilities within their classrooms like: hydration captions, line leaders, light monitors, trash supervisors, and teachers helpers.
Our students also attend Chapel at school every day and have the opportunity to lead the school in prayer, reciting scripture and our Shoreline City Creed.
We keep our classroom ratios lower than state requirements so that we can offer intentional care for each child.
What has been the most important lesson you’ve learned along your journey?
One of the most important lessons we’ve learned is to genuinely care for people not based on what they can do for you, rather for who they are.
People don’t care how much you know, until they know how much you care.
