THE WELCOME PLACE PRESCHOOL

This preschool is a ministry of Cross of Glory Lutheran Church.  Our mission, vision, guiding principals, philosophy and methodology spring from those which guide our congregation.  And at the very heart of this faith community is a commitment to being a welcome place for all people.  Therefore, ALL CHILDREN ARE WELCOME at the Welcome Place Preschool, regardless of religious affiliation, race, color, sex natural or ethnic origin. We commit ourselves to offering a loving learning environment to all God's children.

Our Methodology We believe that preschool children learn best, in a loving environment, through play. Therefore, each child is encouraged, during free play, to choose from a variety of developmentally appropriate activities.  The child's learning is guided by his or her own active curiosity.  Free play is a time for social interaction with peers and adults, problem solving, experimentation, creative expression, decision making, large and small muscle development, manipulation and exploration of their world.
