Overview
Little Blessings provides two, three and four year olds with a safe, loving environment where they can play and learn. Little Blessings’ program is intended not only to ready our students for kindergarten through a quality preschool program, but more importantly to do so in an environment where instilling Christian values is first and foremost in our daily routine.
As Little Blessings draws closer to the end of its fifth year, it has become an even more vibrant and growing ministry of the Lutheran Church of the Resurrection. There continues to be a need for a Christian based preschool and our program is becoming known throughout our community. For the second time since Little Blessings started in September 2002, we expect to open another preschool class. This preschool class is intended for children who will be turning three years old between December 1 and May 31 during that school year. It will be called, very appropriately, “Almost Three.”
God has guided us all to this ministry and continues to bring us His love, strength, support and His children. We, the LBCC director, teachers, teacher assistants and the school board, renew our commitment to Little Blessings and to Him.
Program
Our students attend preschool from 9:00am to 11:45am on weekday mornings, either 2, 3, 4 or 5 days per week. Our early education program is designed to promote the cognitive, social, emotional, physical and spiritual growth of each child. Our focus is on learning through play, socialization and kindergarten readiness. The children have opportunities to be creative through arts and crafts activities, express themselves through dramatic and imaginative play, create through baking and gardening, appreciate music through song and movement, and many other exciting activities. We have visitors such as the Fire Department and local dentist as well as take field trips to nearby areas of interest. Most importantly, Little Blessings helps the child and family develop a relationship with Jesus through bible teachings, prayer, celebrating Christian holidays and hopefully through our example.
