        Our Philosophy

        We believe that each child is a special and unique gift from God.  He entrusts us with their care.  We will strive to share the knowledge that it is God’s will that each of us know of His love and mercy.  We pray that parents and staff may join in this effort for the full spiritual development of the children whom the Lord has entrusted to us.

        Each child needs a program based on the knowledge of child development and understanding of each individual’s need to develop his full potential to fulfill God’s will on earth.  Each child is to be loved and supported so that he may realize how deserving and capable he is of reaching his potential.

        We will provide good role models for young children so that they may observe high standards of Christian behavior.  We will always listen to our children and be ready to respond to their needs.  We will do this in a safe, stable environment where children experience both group and individual activities that have been planned and prepared to educate them spiritually, intellectually, physically, emotionally and socially.

        Crown of Life Lutheran Church seeks to share the Gospel message with families throughout our community. Christ is the cornerstone of our educational program.

        Our Purpose

        The purpose of Crown of Life Preschool and Childcare Center is to equip children to appreciate and enjoy the earthly blessings of God, and to prepare them for the blessings of eternal life with their Savior.  Also, we deliberately intend that through the Preschool we involve the entire family to “grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” (2 Peter 3:18)  Our Preschool was established as a beginning total education program.  It is our goal to give to our Lord’s little lambs their first school experience and begin the total development of a well-rounded, well-adjusted Christian personality.  The spiritual, mental, social, emotional and physical aspects of education will be treated in a relaxed atmosphere, with emphasis on the enjoyment and pleasure of learning.  Children will:
        • Learn of God’s love
        • Learn independence in work and play
        • Experience group play
        • Develop muscle coordination
        • Work on math and reading readiness
        • Grow in Christian love and respect

        Our Mission and Conviction

        Our mission is to ensure that children have the Word of God, through which God brings them to eternal salvation; to guide each child toward becoming a viable Christian citizen whose life will be a witness to many people; and to gain the opportunity to proclaim the Gospel and serve the entire family’s spiritual needs.

        We are motivated by our conviction in Jesus, who said: “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.” (Mark 10:14) By these words Jesus was indicating His love for children and His desire that they be brought to Him so He might bless them.  The members of Crown of Life Lutheran Church have established this Preschool in order to bring children to Jesus so they might learn of His love for them and to trust in Him as their Savior.
