Founded in 1959 to provide a Christian education for young children and outreach to their families, the school is an extension of the educational ministry of Bethany Lutheran Church. We offer classes for a drop-in program for children 12 months - 3 years and preschool classes for preschool age children. There are options of early-drop-off and after school programs including lunch and play, Martial Arts class and other enrichment classes. Program planning and practices reflect that children are gifts from a loving God and learning is what children do. It is an active process. We believe that: Each child is a child of God with unique patterns and timing of growth. Children's play is fundamental to their development. Children learn from each other. Children's natural curiosity leads to many learning activities. Children need an environment based on trust and structured freedom to be self-reliant and to use their own initiative.
