Little Lambs Preschool of Immanuel Lutheran Church

What a joyful evening celebrating another wonderful year at Little Lambs Preschool! With the theme “I’m Wild About Jesus,” nearly 200 family members, friends, church members, staff, and supporters gathered together for a night filled with laughter, happy tears, and unforgettable memories as we celebrated our graduates and all God has done this year at Little Lambs.

From the Spring Sing and preschool graduation to the Fun Fair filled with games, face painting, balloon creations by Magic Matt, ice cream treats, and delicious food from Domino’s, Cane’s Chicken, and Tom & Jerry’s, the night was overflowing with smiles, fellowship, and joyful celebration. A special thank you to the many Immanuel Lutheran Church members, staff families, and friends who volunteered their time and talents to make the evening such a success. We are also grateful to Darin Booth for recording the graduation ceremony so families can treasure these special moments for years to come.

As we send many of our little lambs off to kindergarten, we celebrate not only how much they have learned, but how much they have grown in confidence, kindness, friendship, and faith. We are so proud of each and every child and excited to watch where God leads them next.

"Let the little children come to me..." — Matthew 19:14

🌿🐸 Little Lambs Take on Russell Woods! 🐢🐿️🌳

Our Little Lambs classes had an unforgettable adventure at Russell Woods Forest Preserve over two beautiful mornings!

From exploring the indoor nature center to discovering the wonders of the great outdoors, our students were busy learning, laughing, and making memories together. We spotted animals big and small—hopping toads, curious frogs, a slow-and-steady turtle, and even a few energetic squirrels along the way! 🐸🐢🐿️

The children loved getting hands-on with nature, asking questions, and experiencing God’s creation up close. Whether walking the trails, observing wildlife, or simply enjoying time together outside, every moment was filled with excitement and discovery.

What a joy it is to watch our Little Lambs grow in curiosity, confidence, and appreciation for the world around them! 💚

🐣🌷 Little Lambs Preschool Easter Egg Hunt 🌷🐣

Our Little Lambs had so much fun at this year’s Easter Egg Hunt! Each class got to participate over two days, giving everyone a chance to enjoy the excitement with their friends.

There were lots of smiles as the children searched for colorful eggs and filled the baskets with treats!

We also took time to remember the true meaning of Easter — celebrating the love and hope we have through Jesus. 💛✝️

Another great dental health day at Little Lambs preschool for our Tuesdat/Thursday and Monday thru Friday classes!

We had a special visit at Little Lambs Preschool this week! 🦷✨

A big thank you to Sycamore Orthodontics & Pediatric Dentistry for spending time with our students during a fun Dental Hygiene Observation Day. Our little learners loved being introduced to the importance of keeping their smiles healthy and bright!

During the presentation, students learned about proper brushing habits and explored which foods are good for their teeth and which ones should be enjoyed in moderation. The children were attentive, excited, and enjoyed the experience from start to finish! 😊

One of the highlights of the day was a special appearance from the Tooth Fairy, which made the visit even more fun and memorable for everyone! 🧚‍♀️

We love creating opportunities like this to help our students build healthy habits that can last a lifetime. Thank you again to the wonderful team for making dental care engaging and enjoyable!
