Purpose
Research indicates that the education or training that children receive during the early years lays the foundation for later learning. During these years, children need a stimulating environment, which will provide them with experience that will aid in developing their potential. They need enriching experiences, which will help them develop a positive self-concept.
In holding with these facts, Zion offers a program which will provide the child with a wide variety of learning experiences. The environment will be conductive to learning. In the Christian environment provided, the child will be free to explore and receive guidance in activities in which he/she will be able to experience success.
Zion strives to provide an environment in which the child feels safe and secure.
Every effort is made to provide a program for the growth and development of your child. Through a series of carefully guided learning experiences, the Zion Lutheran Preschool Program aims to develop the physical, social, emotional, and mental powers of the child, keeping in mind the child’s individual needs. Early childhood education is the beginning of the child’s formal education; thus, it is important that it is a positive experience.

Emotional Growth
Emotional growth involves the ability to separate from the shelter of home and parents with a reasonable amount of ease, and develop a sense of trust in new environments. Emotional growth also involves dealing with one’s feelings and controlling them in an acceptable way.

Mental Growth
Mental growth involves self-expression, creativity and responsibility, and challenges in music, art, and science. The children learn to interpret what they see and hear around them, which results in questioning, interacting, and generalizing.
