Under the direction and administration of Zion Lutheran Church, Zion Lutheran Preschool is committed to providing a significant, developmentally appropriate, and effective early childhood education to the youngest generation.
Zion Lutheran Preschool is KDHE (Kansas Department of Health and Environment) certified and we are committed to providing Christian nurture that demonstrates God’s love and forgiveness in Jesus Christ. Moreover, we are dedicated to providing a quality, age-appropriate education. This is designed to help each student not only grow in faith but learn at their own pace, allowing them to learn core, foundational academic essentials required for academic excellence. Each student will also develop a positive self-image, build social skills, and embrace basic moral values. These moral values include patience, leadership, responsibility, and respect. All of these skills and values are modeled and practiced through daily interaction in the classroom.
Zion Lutheran Preschool is devoted to helping you fulfill your God-given and valued parental vocation. At Zion, we recognize the amazing responsibility that God has given you. Consequently, we are dedicated to helping you provide the academically excellent, age-appropriate, character-building, faith-strengthening, Christ-centered education you desire for your child.
A loving Christian environment awaits your little one at Zion Preschool! Together, we can open his/her world to new possibilities!
Read what some of our parents say about the Zion Preschool program:
“Our son made an easy transition into Kindergarten, both socially and academically. We attribute this to his two great years of preparation from Zion Preschool. He still sings many of the songs he learned and made so many new friends that he now has play dates with. Thanks so much for all he learned and for such a caring staff!”
“I am so glad that we found Zion Preschool as I have visited quite a few other preschools and didn’t really get a good impression…I feel very comfortable leaving our daughter in your care and most of all because it is a Christian environment.”
