I would highly recommend Messiah Lutheran Preschool and Kindergarten! They have the best teachers around! The entire staff is so kind and dedicated to teaching! They offer many class options as well as enrichment programs and before and aftercare. The kids are exposed to STEM, music, and they have a wonderful nature playground! My daughters have spent 3 years at Messiah and are very well equipped for elementary school! I can’t say enough good things about Messiah!
