Mission Statement
While providing a loving and caring environment within a Christian
context, preschoolers will gain self-esteem and self-confidence through encouragement,
praise, and positive reinforcement as they learn about themselves, their family and
friends, and the world around them.

Message to Parents
Dear Parents:
Welcome to Cross and Crown Preschool. We feel very honored that
you have chosen to enroll and entrust your child to us. We look forward to meeting
our new children and families and renewing old friendships.
The day your child enters school is an important milestone for both
your child and you. therefore, our school has been planning carefully to receive
your child. We want your child's change from home to school to be a happy one - one
in which your child feels safe and secure and a little more grown up, but not too grown
up! Our handbook is written to give you a better understanding of our school and
hopefully, to explain to you our policies and educational philosophy.
Our school is Christian-oriented, but not denominationally
sectarian. We stress those elements of the faith which are common to all Christians.
We want our school to serve families within our community - to support them and
encourage them in the educating and nuturing of young children. If you do not have
church home, we welcome your questions concerning Cross and Crown Lutheran Church
and invite you to join us on Sundays.
Our preschool program will provide, on a developmental level,
opportunities for a variety of experiences through which children will be able to:
1. Know themselves as
children of God.
2. Know themselves as part of
a group.
3. Know themselves as persons
of value and worth.
Under the guidance of qualified teachers, our program is planned to
give your child newer and broader opportunities for learning that may be enriched and
enlarged upon as he/she one day enters kindergarten. It is a school for young
children such as this that children are given the foundations for a storehouse of
understandings, concepts, skills, and attitudes necessary for a future positive school
experience and learning at their respective ages.
At our school you will see:
- Lots of learning centers and child oriented play activities, because it is through play
that children learn.
- Materials with which to create.
- Quiet discussions and concern for children's growth with lots of loving.
- Ideas and things to talk about, relate to, compare with, match, fit into, try out,
reinforce, invent, discover, and enjoy. We want to enable each child to utilize all
five senses to perceive and learn from our world.
We're going to have fun and enjoy learning those things appropriate
for young children. Come join us.
We welcome you and your child. We consider you enrolled also.
Keep in touch with us, so that we can best serve the needs of all of our children.
Sincerely,
Linda Tolson
