National Association for the Education of Young Children

Our Purpose
The purpose of Lutheran Church of Peace Preschool is to further each child's spiritual, intellectual, emotional, social, and physical development by providing a program that will encourage and challenge the child to his or her fullest potential. The program incorporates a Christian-based curriculum that fosters children's faith.

 

Our Staff and Environment We provide well qualified staff to supervise, encourage and guide children. All of our teachers have education or psychology degrees and are trained in early childhood education, first aid, and CPR. We keep our class sizes small so that we can provide a safe, secure, nurturing environment. The environment has the ability to change as the developmental needs of children change.
