All activities are geared to the developmental level and learning style of each child.
Teaching will always be approached from a Christian perspective in a climate in which teacher and child can live and learn together in a Christ-like way.
Integrated activities are built around special themes. Grace Lutheran Preschool & Kindergarten recognizes the individual abilities of each child and the varying faith concepts brought to our school by students, parents and staff.
