About the Provider
The Luther Memorial Christian Preschool started in 1993 as a means to serve the community by providing a school in which the love of God and the encouragement of His Word could be offered to children and their families.
The program is a unique blend of academic challenges and God's Word in a warm, nurturing environment that encourages the development of the "whole child". We seek to provide a physically safe and emotionally secure setting where children can explore and experiment with a variety of materials and experiences. We encourage cooperative play and foster independence and positive self-esteem.
