Immanuel Preschool-Daycare

Our Mission

Immanuel Lutheran Preschool & Daycare is owned and operated by Immanuel Lutheran Church for the benefit of families and children ages 3-12. The ministry of Immanuel Lutheran Daycare & Preschool is to “Bring up children in the training and instruction of the Lord” (Ephesians 6:4) by providing quality care in a Christ-centered, nurturing environment that promotes spiritual, intellectual, physical, and emotional growth.

Our Philosophy

We believe that a Christian foundation for teaching is provided through the Holy Scriptures, the Bible. We recognize a responsibility to impart spiritual and intellectual knowledge, values and attitudes, with the goals of growth and development of Christian faith and practical application for daily living. As a staff we recognize that the family is the first and foremost influence in a child’s life. We will strive to build a partnership with families based on open and honest communication. Our program also recognizes the individual needs and differences of each child and encourages each to become independent thinkers and life-long learners.
