St. Peter Lutheran Nursery School offers a well-rounded,
Christian preschool program for three and four year olds.
Our teachers have developed a theme-based curriculum for
each age group, with the serious work of learning through
play taking a central role in the daily plans for the students.
Through developmentally appropriate experiences, the
children discover and learn.

Our students take part in a variety of activities, both
self-selected and teacher-guided, which enable them to
develop essential skills in language, listening, and
observation. Art and music activities foster creativity and
self-expression. Ample play with friends allows the children
to increase cooperation and communication skills, as well as
to develop large and small muscle coordination. Daily
activities are enhanced by field trips and other special
events.

In addition, students in our program learn of God's love for
them. They are exposed to Christian beliefs and values
using songs, stories, and prayer.

At St. Peter Lutheran Nursery School, our aim is to
strengthen each child's sense of worth, and foster the
positive development of the whole child. To that end, we
provide experiences that will allow our students to grow and
learn in a loving, supportive, and nurturing environment.

In its atmosphere of Christian love, our school responds to
the spiritual, physical, emotional, intellectual, and social
needs of the preschool child. Working hand in hand with the
parents, we provide children with a setting in which they will
blossom.

St. Peter Lutheran Nursery School operates as a state
licensed and inspected program. We are a nonprofit,
church-sponsored nursery school. We admit students of all
religious, racial, and ethnic backgrounds, and do not
discriminate in the administration of admissions or
educational policies.
