A Strong Start
Rooted in Faith
Our mission is to share the love and Good News of Jesus Christ while providing children and families with excellence in early education.
Woodbury Lutheran Preschool is a ministry of Woodbury Lutheran Church, where we believe every child is uniquely created by God, deeply loved, and truly known. As a licensed, Christ-centered program, we nurture children spiritually, socially, emotionally, and academically through hands-on learning, caring relationships, and joyful discovery. With flexible schedules and extended care, we partner with families to build a strong foundation of faith, confidence, and lifelong learning.
Fostering Enthusiastic Learners
One of the most important curriculum goals is to help children become enthusiastic learners. We strive to provide a balance of child-directed play/exploration with appropriate teacher-directed activities to provide a well-rounded experience. We focus on goals in all areas of development:
