Mission Statement and Philosophy: Sammamish Hills Lutheran Preschool is pleased to offer an early childhood program that focuses on your child’s social, emotional, spiritual, pre-academic and physical development that will encourage a love for learning and build confidence for the years ahead. We offer an age-appropriate theme-based curriculum.  The preschool day involves a wide range of activities including circle and story time, songs and music, center time activities, sensory activities, crafts, gross and fine motor development, active play time, and chapel. 

Spiritual: As a Christian preschool we focus on teaching about God’s unconditional love for us and the world He created.  Each week students will have a chapel time.  During chapel students will learn a Bible story, sing Bible songs and learn how the Bible stories relate to their lives.

Social: 1 Thessalonians 5:11 "Therefore encourage one another, and build each other up". Teachers use encouragement, the ability to build on strengths, to notice what is right, and to build a sense of belonging and significance to foster social development.

Pre-academic: Curriculum is organized by themes. This allows teachers to choose  a topic to study in which a variety of activities can be created around. In this manner of teaching, children learn naturally, can make their own choices, and are a part of a community of learners in a non-competitive environment.  Pre-academic learning is included in theme based units includes reading, language, math, social studies, music and the arts.

Physical: Working on hand-eye coordination; pencil/scissors grasp and control; large and small muscle skills.

Arts: Providing daily opportunities  for art, music and movement to encourage the development of individual expression and appreciation for the beauty of God’s world around us.

Music and Movement: During this class students are exposed to various musical instruments and forms of music. Students will use their bodies for creative movement and use sign language while singing.

Lunch Bunch: Students in the 3’s, 4’s and Pre-k class are given the opportunity to extend their day and stay for Lunch Bunch. Students eat lunch together in their classroom with their teachers. They also have more time for centers and outside playtime. Students have the option to stay daily, one time a week, or on a drop in basis.
