Peek Inside

More than preschool.

A strong start to a lifelong journey.

At St. Philip Lutheran Preschool, we nurture curiosity, kindness, and confidence in every child—ages two through Kindergarten. Our half-day program blends play, creativity, and early learning in a warm Christian environment where every child is seen, known, and celebrated.

Play-based learning with a purpose.

From counting songs to story time, block towers to messy art, every day is a chance to explore, build friendships, and grow.

  • Ages 2–5

  • Half-day programs from 9:00am to 12:00pm (1:00pm for Kindergarten)

Led by love. Grounded in experience.

Our teachers bring decades of combined experience—and deep, caring relationships—to the classroom. Several have been part of the St. Philip family for over 15 years.
