Exceptional learning starts here
What is the early childhood program at LSA like?
- Certified, experienced teachers know, love, and inspire each child to do their best.
- Your student is important—our youngest learners participate in the life of the school by joining us in weekly worship and doing activities with their “buddies” in grade school.
- Kids learn how they fit into God’s big world through a fully integrated Christian curriculum.

Learning to fit into God’s big world
At LSA, students in our early childhood program are an integral part of our learning community.
This isn’t just day care—it’s important learning and foundational experiences.
Learning that’s exciting
The preschool class learns through play-based exploration, activity centers, Bible stories, and recess. They also go on field trips to an apple orchard, pumpkin patch, the zoo, and Camp Roger.
Ready for kindergarten
Are you looking for an option with a bit more structure? Our pre-kindergarten classroom will prepare students for kindergarten with early literacy and math skills.
Part of the community
When your child joins one of our early childhood classes, they are joining a school community. Learn more about LSA and how students grow.
