  • We drive 25 minutes to send my son here. There are lots of preschools near us, but none compare to St. Paul’s Lutheran Preschool. Mrs. Shelly and Mrs. Anna go above and beyond for the students. Every school day and event is so well planned out and adorable. My son is learning so much and making the very best memories with some of the best people. I could go on and on. They deserve all the stars!

  • Before moving here two years ago, we started looking for a preschool for our youngest. We were so very blessed to find Ms. Shelly and the program at St. Paul's. My daughter loved her 2 years here and was sad to find out she would have to go to a new school next year. Ms. Shelly and Ms. April put so much time and work into making the classroom a welcoming, exciting space! The creativity put into centers is just incredible, and I don't think the kids even realize how much they are learning as they go...they are just having so much fun!! It's such a blessing to have your child's first experience with school be one with such loving, nurturing individuals!

  • Miss Shelley and Miss April are wonderful. They are so caring and understanding with my son! I Although he's a little timid, they make him feel very comfortable. They send pictures of the kids doing thier activities and my son has so much fun there! We love that we chose them as our preschool!

  • We love this preschool and the staff! It provides a quaint environment which allows for more one on one involvement with students. They have loving teachers and engaging themes/materials that are continuously being rotated throughout the year. Can’t say enough good things about this school! Highly recommend.

  • After next year, all 6 of my children will have attended preschool at St. Paul’s Lutheran Preschool! Ms. Shelly and Ms. April are wonderful!

  • We love St. Paul’s! So far 2 of our four kiddos have finished both years, a 3rd is currently enrolled with another year to go and we have one more child to go! Our kids have loved the educators and been eager for their school days, wishing they had more. I have been so excited watching them grow and learn. Being in a classroom filled with love, learning and Jesus has been EXACTLY how we wanted them to be brought up. They finished preschool with confidence in themselves, knowledge about God’s love and yearning for learning. I wish we had more time there!!
