Mt. Zion Lutheran Preschool
5.0
We've had 3 kiddos attend Mt Zion and couldn't love it more. The teachers my 9 year old had are still there, teaching our 3 year old. Our kids have loved their time in the school and flourished entering elementary school because of the warmth and excellence at Mt. Zion!
