About the Provider
Our Hope Lutheran School offers a safe, family environment for children to grow, learn, and develop their faith. The school provides education for preschool prep through pre-kindergarten ages. Our before & after school care program is for children up to 12-years of age. Pick-up and drop-off is available to and from Huntertown Elementary School & Cedar Canyon Elementary School. Our philosophy centers around providing a hands-on approach to learning in a Christian environment.
We believe in educating your child through using time-tested, developmentally appropriate educational practices that foster a child's creativity, curiosity, cognitive growth, self- actualization, self- expression, social growth, moral development, character, and natural learning abilities.
We believe that all children are God- given and learn differently; thus, we engage each individual child with a rich, interactive, differentiated, educational experience.
