GENERAL INFORMATION

Little Lamb Preschool is a non-profit Preschool sponsored by Salem Lutheran Church serving children ages 3 and 4 years. 

 

                 PHILOSOPHY

         “Feed My Lambs” John 21:15

At Little Lamb Preschool, we believe that Christian Education is an important aspect of God’s mission as commanded by Him to the Church.  We offer opportunities for physical, spiritual, social, emotional and intellectual growth by providing children a positive, creative, stimulating and orderly Christian environment.   Our program consists of play, “hands on” experiences, and learning centers as we believe that children learn more readily when given opportunities to experience first hand the wonders of God’s world.  It is our hope that by providing a well-rounded program and by developing the whole child, our children will go on to enjoy continued success in school.

 

         PURPOSE AND VALUES

The value of early childhood training is indicated in the Bible:  “Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old, he will not depart from it” Proverbs 22:6.  Likewise, in the words of Ephesians 6:4, “Bring them (your children) up in the training and instruction of the Lord.’  A Christian home gives a child his/her first Christian training and instruction.  At Little Lamb Preschool, we share in this responsibility with you by providing a loving, warm, secure environment where children receive Christian training and instruction.  We also strengthen and support parents in their Christian training efforts.

Little Lamb Preschool accomplishes this by:

   *Providing early Christian Training and instruction;

   *Assisting in the gradual adjustment from home to school life;

   *Helping each child learn to cope with life situations at his/her own level of maturity;  

   *Developing creative and academic abilities by providing experiences and materials that give many opportunities for exploring, thinking, and reasoning;

   * Developing skills necessary for each child to find success and happiness in our ever-changing world;

   *Broadening each child’s interests and opening many   “doors of learning” for him/her;

   *Promoting learning through work and play; and

   *Preparing each child with skills for future school success.
