Welcome to St. Paul’s Preschool & PMO

St. Paul's Preschool & PMO is a ministry of St. Paul's Lutheran Church, which provides quality Christian education that fosters learning and development. The preschool is in session from September through May from 9 am until 12 pm.

Our program is based on introducing and teaching Christian values through age appropriate stories, songs and prayer. Each child is treated with respect as a child of God. We provide a play-based developmentally appropriate learning environment for a positive first learning experience away from home. We encourage exploration, independence and imagination through small group gatherings, free choice playtime and individual child-focused instruction. We welcome children of any race, nationality, ethnic origin, or religion.

At St. Paul's Preschool & PMO, we believe children learn through play and they learn to play together at preschool. Young children learn best through direct encounters with their world using all five senses. You will see role-playing life situations, block structures, opportunities for creative expression, sorting, counting, smelling, tasting and touching. While in the classroom, children may be noisy and active but learning is taking place.

The classrooms are arranged so that the children can work individually as well as together in small groups. The teachers clearly define activity areas in the classroom, which invite children to explore and investigate the entire classroom. Some activities and materials change throughout the year to continue to grow and learn. Weekly themes are created by the teachers allowing the children to learn about the world that surrounds them.

We are a growing ministry and we are excited to be offering more classes this fall! We will be offering classes for children 9 months through 4 years old. Registration forms for the 2013-2014 school year are now available. You may download one here at the bottom of the page. Please make sure to download both the registration form and enrollment procedures.

Tours will be conducted during the month of January. If you would like to see the preschool during class time, please contact Amanda Stoen to schedule a tour. Please meet on the lower level of the church at the covered entrance.
