Philosophy
Our purpose at Lord of Life Lutheran Preschool and Kids' Day Out is to provide a safe, loving, stimulating, and nurturing Christian atmosphere so that the children may grow emotionally, intellectually, and physically at their own rate as they learn and play.
Non-discrimination Policy
Lord of Life Lutheran Preschool and Kids' Day Out does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion or ethnic origin in administering policies of any kind.
Staff
All teachers have a degree in Education or a related field and experience with preschool-age children. We have taken care to hire only the best teachers we can find so that your child has the best possible experience in our school.
Curriculum
The children will learn, in a fun way, aspects of math, science and language, do creative activities in art and music, have a daily story time, celebrate birthdays and have seasonal parties. We will stress Jesus daily through prayers and references to His good works, weekly through Bible stories and monthly through Chapel Time. Show and tell will be a weekly event. We will exercise outdoors in good weather and indoors otherwise. We will have music class once a week and a P.E. class once a week. Computer class is optional and offered after school for an additional charge.
Age Requirements
Children must be three by August 1 to attend the three year old classes and four by August 1 to attend the Pre-Kindergarten class. Enrollment into the Junior Kindergarten is by discretion of the Director. We will not make any exceptions to our age requirement policy. Children must be potty trained to be in a Preschool class.

Discipline
We believe in treating each other with Christian respect. We expect the children to behave in like manner. We expect them to be courteous with their hands, feet and mouth. And likewise, you can expect your child to be treated with that same respect. Our school will be a place where the children can feel safe and loved by everyone. We ask children to apologize for inappropriate behavior. A warning of time-out will be given followed by time-out at the next infraction for those who need frequent reminders of how to behave correctly. We will ask parents to work at home with their child to help reinforce proper behavior.
