About Our Preschool
Trinity Lutheran Preschool recognizes that a preschool experience is often the child’s first step into the world beyond family. Our goal at Trinity is to provide families of the community, church, and school with a safe, educational Christ-centered early childhood experience. The early childhood program is designed to meet the developmental needs of children 2 years to 5 years of age. At Trinity we provide daily experiences that enrich and foster each child’s spiritual, cognitive, social, emotional and physical development. Each day children have the opportunity to explore their creative side, develop problem solving skills and strengthen personal interaction skills through hands on experiences. We strive to assist parents in nurturing their children in the faith, while recognizing that the parents are the primary educators of their children.
Children of any religion, race, color, national or ethnic origin are welcome to pursue their educational and spiritual exploration at Trinity.
Toddlers (2 years before September 1st)
Our Toddler program provides fun, educational activities that will further your child’s development. The social, cognitive, physical, and creative skills learned in the Toddler class are fostered through teacher led activities and through play. Our daily schedule includes time for playing inside and outside, and we have devotion, story, music, art, and snack time. Here are some of the emphasis of the Toddler class:
The Toddler class focuses on learning through play. Play helps them learn to share and socialize with their fellow classmates and teachers. Play also helps them develop multiple cognitive skills such as numbers, shapes, letters, and colors.
Learning through art, music, play, listening to stories, and exploring.
Introduction to shape, number, color, and letter concepts (through Zoo-phonics).
Name and birthday recognition
