St John Lutheran Preschool

St. John Lutheran Preschool is a special place where generations of preschoolers have been welcomed in Christ’s love and guided in their walk with Christ and their love of His Word.  Children are encouraged to learn, explore, and develop new skills and friendships through a combination of playful learning and instruction.

We are excited to welcome children and their families

 to our Preschool where we learn and grow together.
