The preschool program at Central Lutheran School is an accredited, high-quality, play-based educational experience for each child, preparing them for their future learning. We acknowledge the unique development of each child and provide varied experiences to foster their spiritual, physical, emotional, cognitive, and social growth as they pass from one developmental stage to another.
There are many options for families to provide the educational experiences and needs that are best for your child and family.
An all-day program is available, as well as a half-day program.
The afternoon activities for the children include lunchtime, free play, stations, stories, and rest time.
