About this preschool

Grace Lutheran Preschool, founded 50 years ago, provides nurturing, play-based education to children ages 2-5 years old in a creative, Christian environment. The program is currently not accepting new students.

Philosophy
The early childhood program is committed to providing developmentally appropriate learning activities in a creative, Christian environment. The program fosters social and emotional development through hands-on experiences, believing that a child's play is their work and that young children learn by doing through concrete discovery with hands-on materials. Each child is appreciated and accepted at their own level with age-appropriate opportunities to learn, grow, and develop in a nurturing Christian environment.
