First Lutheran Preschool

Welcome!

We are a faith-based Preschool located near the Miller Branch Library in Ellicott City, Maryland. We serve families from all backgrounds, faith traditions, and neighborhoods. As a ministry of First Lutheran Church, our mission is to support children and families by providing a nurturing place to play, discover, and grow. We do this in a playful, caring environment where children are challenged and supported in their growth and development.

Our hands-on curriculum is designed using the eight learning domains set forth in the Maryland State Department of Education's Division of Early Childhood Development: Language and Literacy, Mathematics, Social Studies, Science, Health, Physical Education, Fine Arts, and Social Foundations.
