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:

Develop the ability to interact with peers and adults respectfully, form positive relationships, and gain increasing awareness of belonging to a family, community, culture, and program.
Learn to feel comfortable in school, trust their new environment, grow in self-esteem, independence, self-control, and develop a positive attitude toward life.
Become confident learners by acquiring learning skills such as the ability to apply and adapt strategies to solve problems, listen attentively, ask questions, use words to describe thoughts and feelings, and engaging in early reading, writing, and math experiences.
Develop large and small muscle skills and develop understanding about healthy and safe living practices.
Bible stories, verses, songs, prayer, and discussion of scriptural truths and values help support children’s spiritual development and are an integral part of each child’s learning experience.
