Philosophy Statement We Believe:

• St. Michael Lutheran Pre-School believes that early childhood education is an integral part of our congregation's mission and ministry;
• The young child is a unique and special child of God and we encourage the development of Christ-esteem and individuality;
• Children learn best through play and by developmentally appropriate activities provided as avenues for learning;
• Early childhood education provides a warm and loving Christ-centered environment where children can develop to their fullest potential physically, intellectually, and spiritually;
• Early childhood education is a ministry to young children and their families; and
• Early childhood education is a joint ministry that involves the congregation, the community, the staff, the family, and the child.
