Christ Lutheran maintains a Christian Pre-Kindergarten for ages three to six years.
Our Pre-K program is not limited to members of the parish family.
Different sessions are offered: a five-day morning, a three-day morning,and a two-day morning.
Christ Lutheran Pre-K’s primary concern is with the spiritual development of the child.
In addition, we have a structured curriculum that meets or exceeds Missouri's standards for kindergarten entrance.
Many of our 5 day students are reading simple books before entering kindergarten.
