Mission Statement:

Recognizing the importance of planting young souls in the faith, Christ's Kids will provide a quality educational program in a Christ-centered environment.

Christ's Kids serves the community by providing quality Christian education that impacts the spiritual growth of young children.

Our Christian-based curriculum introduces children ages three to four to the alphabet and related sounds, numbers 1-20, shapes and colors. Children will learn how to socialize with others in a Christian manner. All daily activities will be based on sound education and Christian principles appropriate for age.

Christ's Kids staff are screened and approved by St. Paul's Board of Education. Teachers and other staff members have required state-training and meet academic qualifications for their positions. They maintain professional growth and possess Christian love and concern for children and their families. We always strive to employ the best qualified staff available, and maintain a 12:1 child-teacher ratio.

We look forward to the opportunity to reach out into our community with God's Word and a loving Christian example.

Students & Families to be Served

Children from St. Paul's families, as well as non-member families, who seek an alternative to public preschool programs will be attending Christ's Kids. Preschool classes will be held mornings, Monday through Friday, as part of an everyday, all day childcare program that provides Christian education and nurturing opportunities.

Endorsements & Funding

Christ's Kids has prayerfully sought the Lord's blessings as the primary support. St. Paul's Church Council has endorsed resuming outreach and Christian service through early childhood ministry, as substantiated by a comprehensive feasibility study with the assistance of the LCMS (Lutheran Church Missouri Synod ) Genesis Project.

Initial preschool start-up funds are generated from congregational support, contributions, grants and fundraisers. During our early years of operation, St. Paul's will continue to subsidize this ministry. Ultimately, tuition, fund-raisers and external sources will provide necessary funding.

Christ's Kids admits students of any race, color, religion, sex, nationality and ethnic origin to all rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to the students at the school.
