Hope Lutheran Preschool

Hope Lutheran Preschool is a Christian preschool which emphasizes the “Total Child”.

Hope Lutheran Preschool is a state licensed Christian Preschool that provides various opportunities for children to grow in faith and learn in an educational setting. Our total child approach is an approach of love as we give guidance in the dimensions of spiritual, social, emotional, intellectual, and physical growth. We believe growth in all five areas help develop the readiness foundation each child needs.

Our week back after Spring Break was full of laughter, fun, and friendship! ☀️💛

We jumped right in by running our own pizza restaurant 🍕👩‍🍳 and got creative making pizzas with playdough too!

In small group, we practiced our math skills by counting coins 💰🔢, painted beautiful rainbows 🌈🎨, and went on a sight word hunt around the classroom. 🔤👀

We also loved soaking up the sunshine during outdoor play with friends. 🛝🏃‍♂️

🎄✨ Merry Christmas from Hope Preschool! ✨🎄

We loved sharing the Good News of Jesus’ birth with our families at our Christmas program ❤️👶. Our pajama Christmas parties were full of fun as we decorated gingerbread houses 🍪🏠, built Christmas trees 🎄, patterned candy canes 🍬, and learned all about the great love Jesus has for us this Christmas 💖🙏.

🎄✨ December has been full of JOY in Preschool! ✨🎄

We’ve had such a wonderful start to the month. In Chapel, Pastor taught us about the true meaning of Christmas and helped us prepare our hearts for Jesus’ birth ✝️💜.

Our little artists loved decorating gingerbread men and creating sweet pictures of baby Jesus 👶🏼✨. We’ve enjoyed gross motor play in the gym, gingerbread baking and Play-Doh fun 🍪, and colorful gumdrop graphing 🍬📊.

We even got to decorate our classroom Christmas tree 🎄, wrap gifts 🎁, and celebrate our letter of the week—J is for jump, Jesus, and JOY! 🕺✝️😊

What a wonderful month of learning, laughter, and Christmas cheer with our sweet preschool friends! ❤️✨

This last month we’ve been learning all about Fall — painting and raking 🍂 leaves, visiting the apple orchard, building and drawing Mat Man ✏️, sorting and counting bears 🧸, and even making apple pies 🥧 with pom poms during math time!
Our memory verse this month reminds us that “Nothing is too hard for God!” 🙌 (Jeremiah 32:17)
