Description: Spruce Run Preschool is a nonsectarian preschool sponsored by Spruce Run Lutheran Church.
Our teachers have over 50 years cumulative experience in early childhood education and provide a nurturing environment where children are encouraged to grow both academically and socially.
The school offers a 9 month program from September through May , and a Summer Camp program available the first two weeks of June. We follow the Lebanon Township, Clinton Township and High Bridge Borough School Districts Calendars and Snow Closings.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
