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 serve God by serving God's children. We do this in a playful, caring environment where children are challenged and supported in their growth and development. 

We have openings in our classes for 3 year-olds! 
2 mornings:  Mondays and Wednesdays from 9:00 a.m. - 11:30 a.m.
3 mornings:  Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday from 9:00 a.m.- 12 p.m.  Option to stay for lunch until 1:00 p.m.

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.
