​

Our Philosophy Statement
Matthew 19:14 – Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.”

​Faith Lutheran Preschool is an integral part of the mission outreach of Faith Lutheran Church.  It provides a service to our members and non-members. Faith Lutheran Preschool strives to assist parents in nurturing their children in the faith while recognizing that the parents are the primary educators of their children. Recognizing that children learn best through exploration, experimentation and play, Faith Lutheran Preschool cultivates the spiritual, social, emotional, intellectual, creative and physical development of each child in a warm and loving Christ-centered environment.

​Spiritual Development:     Children are nurtured in the way of Christ and He is presented to them as their Savior and special friend.  It is desired that this will help form the foundation of a lifetime of spiritual growth and service to God such as encouraged in Deuteronomy 6:7,  “You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.” 

Social Development:  The children are encouraged to build positive relationships with others through the development of proper communication skills.    

Emotional Development:   A positive self-image is fostered.  Initiative and creativity are encouraged.  Age-appropriate play and exploration activities are presented at an appropriate development level. 

Intellectual Development:  A love for all learning is promoted by providing a positive learning experience in which curiosity is encouraged and academic skills are developed through a multisensory approach.
 
Physical Development:  Playtime is used to help the children develop fine and large motor skills, coordination, and physical fitness in a safe, fun environment.
 
Creative Development:   Creative activities provide opportunities for problem solving and experimenting with new ideas.
