Zion Lutheran Preschool

Zion Lutheran Preschool exists to serve families with a quality program for preschool age children to learn and grow while developing social skills and confidence through play with others and educational activities. Our goal is to partner with parents to provide experiences that nurture the spiritual, physical, intellectual, emotional, and social development of their young children in a setting enriched with Christian teachings and values.

Our curriculum follows the HighScope educational approach, which emphasizes “active participatory learning” through direct, hands-on experiences with people, objects, events, and ideas. Children take the first step in the learning process by making choices and following through on their plans and decisions with teachers offering guidance and support.

Why do we offer three or four consecutive days?

Getting into the routine of preschool can be difficult for some children. By developing a consistent routine of three or more days per week, children can more quickly adjust to the structure of a preschool classroom and see their preschool as a regular part of their week. Students have the opportunity to spend more time in the classroom, pick up where they left off from the previous day, and build foundational knowledge through repetition, reflection and practice. Having more days in their school week also helps children to establish stronger bonds with their classmates and teachers. These bonds are the foundation of the classroom family. Children who attend more days also tend to gravitate towards each other. This encourages children to form friendships, work and play cooperatively and develop their social and communication skills.
