Our Mission
Our mission at Mt. Olive Lutheran Preschool is to teach children Jesus loves them and to nurture their social, emotional, and academic development in a loving, Christian environment.
Our Philosophy
We believe that sharing the love of Jesus with each child is the most important thing we can do each day. We will provide a warm and loving atmosphere in which to learn. We believe that children learn best through a variety of experiences, including play. Each teacher will attempt to provide situations which make learning exciting and fun.

- To encourage good health practices, safety awareness, and focus on nutrition
- To encourage creative expression through art
- To play, have fun, and make friends
Core Values
Faith
We believe teaching children about God’s unconditional love for them is the most important thing we do each day. At Mt. Olive Preschool children learn about God’s power, love, and promises through Bible stories and illustrations.
Family
At Mt. Olive we consider your family to be a part of our family. We strive to provide a loving and caring environment for children and families.
Friendship
At Mt. Olive, children learn to make friends and play together. Taking turns, sharing, and using kind words are important social skills that children learn and practice in preschool.
FUN-damentals
Preschool is meant to be FUN. Children learn through play and exploration and have daily opportunities for both at Mt. Olive.
By focusing on social as well as academic readiness, children leave Mt. Olive ready for the school environment ahead of them. Learning letters and letter sounds, colors, shapes, basic math concepts, and exploring the natural world provide a foundation for further academic success.
