About the Provider
Mount Calvary Preschool mirrors the core values of Mount Calvary Lutheran Church. Our preschool is built on grace, built for service, and builds up community. As a part of Mount Calvary's Faith Formation Department, our preschool is an outreach to our community.
We at Mount Calvary Preschool believe that each child is an individual. Our curriculum encourages children to explore their world through imagination, artistic and musical expression, physical movement, teacher-led activities, and social interaction. All domains of a child's development are met through our curriculum. We believe that early meaningful relationships with peers and adults benefit a child's social and emotional development throughout life, and also these early relationships enable a child's faith formation.
