Our Preschool Philosophy

Jerusalem Lutheran School has the goal of nurturing young students based on the Word of God. Our Lord has commanded us to bring little children to come to Jesus and hear the Word of God -- Matthew 19:14

God has given parents the primary responsibility for nurturing their children. However, the school exists to assist the parents as they carry out this important responsibility in the knowledge and instruction of the Savior. The complete cooperation between the home and the school is necessary for the welfare of the children. Therefore, it shall be the objective of this preschool program to:

Assist parents in teaching their children the truths of God's Word.
Foster each child’s growth of God-given gifts and talents.
Encourage children to express their faith through interactions with their peers.
Give children opportunities to learn and grow in their faith and in new academic concepts and skills taught to them in the classroom environment.

Our Objective is to...
