ABOUT US
King of Kings Lutheran Preschool and Kids’ Day Out is a non-profit preschool and Kids’ Day Out, serving children ages 2-5, and is a ministry of King of Kings Lutheran Church. We have been providing quality early childhood education to the surrounding communities since 1980.
PHILOSOPHY
Each child is a special and unique creation of God. We value and celebrate each young person in our care and offer opportunites for growth by providing children a positive, creative and stimulating Christian environment in which to develop and thrive. We believe that children learn best when given opportunites to learn first hand the wonders of God’s world, and therefore we afford ample time for “hands on” and discovery experiences.
PURPOSE AND VALUES
The value of early childhood training is indicated in the Bible: “Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” Proverbs 2:6. A Christian home gives a child his/her first Christian training and instruction. At King of Kings we partner with you in this responsibility by providing a loving, warm and secure environment where children receive Christian love and participate in “Jesus Time”. We also partner with parents as we:
*assist in the adjustment from home to school life;
*help each child build a positive self concept by providing developmentally appropriate experiences;
*help each child gain independence and learn to be responsible;
*provide a Christian environment that promotes growth in the spiritual, social, emotional, intellectual and physical realms.
OUR CURRICULUM INCLUDES:
*Jesus Time
*Literacy and Math experiences
*Music and movement
*Science and Social Science explorations
*Art experiences
*Indoor and Outdoor play
We offer a wide variety of developmental experiences in these areas, which are age appropriate for each child. We use both teacher-directed and child-directed methods of teaching young children.
NON-DISCRIMINATION POLICY
King of Kings Lutheran Preschool serves the whole community and admits students of any race, national and ethnic origin, religion (or non religion), privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to our students.

LOCATION AND FACILITY
King of Kings Lutheran Church and Preschool/Kids’ Day Out is located just west of the intersection of Highway 141 and Olive Boulevard, on the north side of the street.
Our facility is secure, with two entries that are accessible only if a person rings the bell. A camera is mounted at each entry.
We have a large, fenced playground with an ample amount of green space for the children to run, jump and yell! This summer (2011) we will be adding a new piece of playground equipment on the west side of our playground and installing a new fence around the entire perimeter. These improvements are being added to existing pieces of climbing equipment that the children love.
Each classroom is well-equipped with a wide variety of manipulatives, toys, blocks, and teaching aids. Areas in our classrooms include: dramatic play, art/writing center, tables for tasks, altar for “Jesus time”, library, science/observation table, block area. We strive to keep our classrooms well-stocked and fresh.
