We believe that God has given every child a marvelous potential for a creative and successful life. A child in the early childhood years is growing rapidly in all aspects of his life. By the time a child is ready to enter Kindergarten, the child has formed many patterns and attitudes which will shape the personality and ability to cope successfully with the ever-changing world.

We believe that effective guidance and teaching at the early childhood level must involve a total approach to the child. Our approach is one of love as we guide your child in his/her intellectual, emotional, social, physical and spiritual growth.

We recognize that the primary responsibility for your child's growth in all these areas lies with the parents and most normally occurs within the framework of the home. At the same time, we know that parents, for a variety of reasons, desire assistance in these aspects of care and training for their child. We are very aware of the fact that we must not and cannot become a substitute for your capable parental direction and wholesome home environment. We are, however, eager to serve and assist you by providing the best possible away-from-home learning environment to augment your child's growth.

You may note that we are a "Christian" school. The word "Christian" does not imply that it is a school for Christians only. It means that we believe Jesus Christ is our Saviour, that he died for our sins and only by believing in Him can we inherit eternal life. Our schedule does include a daily Bible story, but we do not suppose that this is the complete approach to your child's feeling of relationship with God. We believe that an attitude of love and respect for God and one another is "caught" as well as "taught." Christian values will be integrated into our daily schedule.

We trust that Zion Lutheran School will serve your child's total needs. We know that you will cooperate with us in every way and we look forward to a happy, satisfying experience working with you and your child.
