Preschool Philosophy
| Our Lutheran Preschool believes that by providing a feeling of security and success in all areas of development including, social, emotional, physical, spiritual and mental, for each child through loving teachers and a Christ centered environment , we empower young children to grow at their own pace. The resulting self-confidence is essential to success in kindergarten and future learning experiences. |
Our Goals
| It is our goal to prepare children for kindergarten. This will be accomplished through the development of the necessary skills needed to be successful in the kindergarten setting. These necessary skills include communication, self-help, fine and gross motor, and language skills. Mastering these skills will help the children to achieve social and academic competence and will allow each child to experience the joy of their preschool years and develop a love of learning. |
