Faith Lutheran Preschool

Preschool should be a positive educational experience that fosters a strong sense of self-worth and helps each child to build a healthy self-concept. Children will be able to learn and discover free of pressure to achieve while reserving more formal academic learning for the elementary school years. We want children to come to know that learning can be exciting and fun. They will have questions and enjoy exploring to find the answers. Children’s play is the avenue through which a variety of learning experiences occur and is essential to healthy development. Through play children begin to understand the real world around them. Therefore children are encouraged to select their own play activities in a variety of learning-interest centers during the free play period each day. We shall strive to work with each child on his/her own developmental level in a loving Christian atmosphere respecting the individual differences of each child. Activities and curriculum will be based upon the stages of development and their characteristic traits and the individual differences among children. We shall strive to help each child achieve his or her own potential in the areas of social emotional physical intellectual and spiritual development. We see ourselves not as a separate unit from the family church and community but as an extension support and service to them and their needs. Because parents know their own child better than anyone else could we feel that parental involvement and input are vitally important in helping us to provide a positive successful early learning experience for each child.
