Kindergarten
Reaching out with Christ's love to serve and grow through early childhood education
We are an accredited Early Childhood Ministry where children can learn and grow in Christian love as they develop socially, emotionally and academically. Our staff of degreed teachers have many years of experience.
Our Philosophy
The purpose of St. Paul Lutheran Kindergarten is to reach out with Christ's love to serve children and their families. With this in mind, we further define our purpose as educating children and families through the love and teaching of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. We are committed to Christian Education by providing all the essentials to those we reach in order to train the whole child. We do this by identifying the spiritual, social, emotional, cognitive and physical needs with the use of age appropriate learning and interactive play. The philosophy is based on God's promise given to us in Proverbs 22:6, "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it."
