Bring your backpack as we gather to pray for a safe, successful, and faith-filled school year for all of our children. Whether they’re heading to preschool or beginning another year of school, we’d love to surround them with prayer and encouragement. 🙏✏️📚

Let’s start the year together in faith! 💛

“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”

Freshly cleaned and ready for a new school year! 🌈
Every rug has been cleaned and every classroom is getting ready to welcome little learners. Soon these rugs will be filled with stories, songs, laughter, and children growing in God's love.
We can't wait to welcome our Messiah families back next week! 💙

🎒 Choosing the Right Backpack

One of the best ways to help your child be successful at preschool is choosing a backpack that's big enough.
Your child's backpack should have room for: 🎒 Their daily folder 🍎 Their snack 👕 A complete change of clothes 🎨 The special projects and treasures they bring home
A backpack that's too small can be frustrating for little hands. When everything fits easily, children can practice packing and unpacking their own belongings and build independence every day.
At Messiah Lutheran Preschool, we're helping children learn so much more than letters and numbers. Every zipper zipped, folder packed, and backpack carried is another step toward confidence.
❤️ And of course... there's always time for one more hug before the day begins.

Excellence isn't something we claim. It's something we commit to.

Did you know Messiah Lutheran Preschool is a National Lutheran School Accreditation (NLSA) Accredited School?

Accreditation isn't just a plaque on the wall or a banner on the fence. It means our preschool has undergone a thorough review of everything we do—from safety and teaching practices to leadership, Christian education, and continuous improvement.

For our families, it means you can have confidence that your child is learning in a school committed to excellence while hearing about the incredible love of Jesus every day.

We're thankful for the opportunity to serve children and families in our community with both quality education and Christ-centered care.

❤️ Because every child deserves a place where they are known, loved, and encouraged to grow.

🌱 Growing Together🌱

Some days, it's easier to carry the backpack ourselves.

It's quicker to put on their shoes.
Faster to zip the jacket.
Simpler to open the snack.
Less messy to clean up without their "help."

But every time we slow down and let our children try, we're giving them something far more valuable than convenience.

We're giving them confidence.

Those little moments of "I can do it!" become the building blocks of independence.

Yes, it takes more patience.

Yes, it takes more time.

But one day, you'll realize they don't need your help anymore... because you gave them the chance to learn.

🌱 This Week's Growing Together Challenge:
Pick one task you've been doing for your child and let them try it on their own this week. Cheer them on, even if it isn't perfect.

💬 Let's encourage one another!
What's one thing your preschooler can do all by themselves now that surprised you?

Parenting is easier with friends. 💙

Join us for a sweet summer night! 🍦☀️
We're inviting our preschool families, church family, neighbors, and friends to an evening of laughter, ice cream, bingo, and community.
Bring the kids, invite a friend, and if you'd like, bring your favorite dessert to share for our sweets table. We'd love to spend the evening with you!
📅 Saturday, July 18
🕕 6:00 PM
📍 Messiah Lutheran Church Gym
At Messiah, we believe church is more than Sunday mornings—it's a place where friendships grow, families belong, and memories are made.
We can't wait to see you there! ❤️

Imagine.

Sometimes blocks become binoculars, spaceships, castles, and inventions no one has ever seen before.

To a preschooler, imagination isn't "just play." It's how they explore, solve problems, build friendships, and make sense of the world around them.

At Messiah Lutheran Preschool, we make room for wonder. Children learn best when they're curious, engaged, and free to create.

🇺🇸 Charles is ready for the Fourth of July! 🧸❤️🤍💙

Happy Fourth of July from Charles and your Messiah Lutheran Preschool family! 🇺🇸
