Our Programs

Welcome to Messiah Lutheran Preschool, where we inspire young minds to explore their creativity, curiosity, and sense of self. We’re not a daycare or babysitting service; we’re a dedicated team of credentialed Christian educators committed to your child's growth at every level. We prepare students to confidently face challenges, big or small, each day. We deeply appreciate the trust parents place in us to teach and nurture their children, and we provide a caring, supportive environment where every child can thrive.



We offer Full-Time and Part-Time Programs  

2-Year-Old

  • Christian values

    Spiritual growth is developed through the teaching and learning of God’s Word.  We concentrate on characteristics of faith (sharing, loving, caring, etc.) on a weekly basis. Bible stories are interwoven within these characteristics of faith.  Weekly chapels are led by the Pastors and our Family Life Minister.
