About the Provider

Description: Children of the Cross PreSchool is a ministry and outreach of Lutheran Church of the Cross in Rockville, Maryland.

Through a developmentally appropriate curriculum, children grow socially, physically, cognitively, and spiritually. Daily, weekly, and monthly themes provide students with the foundation needed in order to enter Kindergarten at the appropriate time. A Christian curriculum and weekly chapel services provide the spiritual basis within our school.
Children of the Cross Preschool runs September through May and has a policy of open enrollment, meaning we accept students at any time through the school year. We also welcome students with late birthdays.

Through Children of the Cross PreSchool, Lutheran Church of the Cross hopes to continue to develop a positive relationship with the community of Montgomery County, Maryland.
