Our Philosophy
As a ministry of Christ Lutheran Church, we integrate faith throughout a child’s day. Prayer, worship, and exposure to religious stories, Bible verses, and symbols are an inherent aspect of our programming as well as Lutheran liturgy. Our ministry focuses on God’s love and grace and a calling to share Christ’s love and care with others. Classroom prayer during “Jesus Time” as well as School Wide Prayer offer the children and their teachers the opportunity to pray together each day. Our young toddlers through preschool attend Chapel led by our school and church staff members daily each morning. Parents are encouraged to join us to start their day with prayer!
At Christ Lutheran Preschool, we believe that children learn best through play experiences. Our use of the Frog Street Curriculum, combined with O Come Let Us Worship, provides intentional learning experiences to encourage physical, social-emotional, aesthetic, cognitive, language and spiritual development within a loving and nurturing environment. Outdoor play is also an important part of our daily routine, and children are encouraged to observe, discover, initiate activity, and engage in hands on experiences in nature that sometimes results in getting messy!
We understand that all children come to our program with a unique set of skills they are trying to master. Our activities are presented in an open-ended, age appropriate way to meet children at different skill levels. Our teachers are knowledgeable about developmental milestones and pay close attention to children’s acquisition of new skills.
We balance our classroom schedules thoughtfully in order to offer age-appropriate group time, individual time with teachers, active play and quiet learning experiences. We are committed to offering children interesting activities throughout the day.
Parents are recognized and respected as the first and lifelong teachers of their children. We strive to work as partners with the parents who have entrusted their children to us and to support them in their efforts to provide an appropriate and spiritual educational foundation for their children.
