Messiah Lutheran Preschool is a non-profit half-day preschool that offers a warm, loving, child-sized, child-centered atmosphere based on the needs and interests of two, three, four and five year-old children. The most important way preschoolers learn the Biblical message is by being with adults who radiate God’s love and care.
Our preschool was established in 1987 and has welcomed hundreds of children like yours through our doors. We provide an early childhood experience with Christian love that strives to meet the emotional, social, mental and physical needs of our students, as well as nurture their spiritual needs. We emphasize play and concrete experiences in the developmental areas of language, cognition, small and large motor development, social and emotional development and self-help skills. Our goal is to give your child a positive first experience of school.
Messiah Lutheran Preschool admits students of any race, color, national or ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the preschool. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national or ethnic origin in the administration of our educational policies, admission policies, and other school administered programs.

Pre-School Goals
Each child is regarded as a unique individual and is encouraged to experiment and learn at his/her own pace. Since children learn best by doing, our classrooms are arranged in interest centers so your child can explore, move about freely and participate in a wide variety of activities. We develop a sense of regularity and security for your child by daily carrying out basic routines such as organized free play, cleanup time, toileting, snack time, outdoor play and group time. You are encouraged, as parents, to participate in our program and share your skills.
Focused Goals
- Help the child learn to get along with others.
- Help the child learn to use various materials.
- Provide a setting in which the child can express him/herself competently.
