Christ Lutheran provides the educational experience every parent prays for their child to receive. You can feel the warmth the moment you set foot on campus. Each teacher and support staff member knows every child's name and my daughter is always greeted the second she leaps onto campus. Smiles are waiting around every corner and it doesn't matter if it is early morning or five minutes until school closing, the staff always shows the same abundance of enthusiasm and energy. As a parent and an educator, I am constantly amazed by CLP's individualized approach and how seamlessly they blend learning with play. Each classroom is filled with engaging student centers. It is evident that the teachers take time to plan each station around not only the units they are focusing on in class, but also around different student learning styles and modalities. Student experiences extend beyond the classroom walls and CLP has gone above and beyond to provide enrichment experiences for my daughter. My four-year old has raved about dissecting pomegranates, collecting sticks, going on walking fieldtrips, and playing in the mud as a chef in the "mud kitchen." She declared to our whole extended family that her teacher believes she can be an author and illustrator just like the one who came to visit her classroom. I've seen her dancing on days when the school hosts live musicians in the "forest," and painting outdoors in the sunshine. But most importantly I've witnessed her eyes light up and her whole being exude joy when she shares about each day that she spends at Christ Lutheran Preschool.
