Our Mission
Our mission at Ascension Lutheran Preschool is to provide a Christian-based educational outreach program dedicated to helping preschoolers grow intellectually, socially, emotionally, spiritually, and physically through creative hands-on learning experiences.
The objectives of Ascension Lutheran Preschool are:
· To provide a quality preschool program for children ages two through five. · To provide a program for children from all sectors of the community, no matter what religion, race, or financial status. · To prepare preschoolers for their formal education and assist parents in becoming active participants in their child’s education with schools and in the community.
Our Philosophy
Our philosophy is that God created each individual with unique gifts. It is our responsibility as early childhood educators to help each child realize his/her potential through encouragement, guidance, and Christian love.
Our aim is to create a setting where our children will become responsible human beings with an understanding of their connection to God and their community.
Our preschool curriculum is designed to instill in our children Christian values through Bible lessons, prayers, Christian songs, academic skills and social relationships.
A new theme is introduced each month and units are built around the theme. This will give the children a variety of experiences in using small and large motor skills, music and movements, arts and crafts, academic centers, free-play, stories and self-expression.
The variety of sessions promotes progressive learning experiences beginning with an introduction to the concept of preschool for those in Two School, to a first preschool encounter for the three year old, and finally to preparing for Kindergarten with the four year old.
