We carefully plant and nurture seeds
in the spring to become the beautiful flowers of the summer. It is our goal at
Ascension Lutheran Preschool to nurture and to start the seed of learning in
each individual child so that they may develop into a mature flower of tomorrow.
The purpose of the preschool is to
serve as an arm of the educational ministry of the church. It will offer the
young child an opportunity to grow, to learn and to develop physically,
spiritually, socially, and intellectually.
We look forward to working with
parents in this exciting adventure of nurturing and watching our children grow.
