Faith Lutheran Preschool is a ministry of service, fellowship, and evangelism shared through Christian nurturing of young children and their families in our church and community.
The emphasis is distinctly Christian while promoting developmental skills through each child's involvement in age- appropriate activities. Children will have opportunities for learning and interaction in both group and individualized settings. The value of early education is now recognized as one of the most important parts of a child's educational life. It is in the child's early years that good attitudes are formed, basic skills developed, concepts built to all fields of knowledge, and a love for learning instilled. Good early childhood experiences will help children now, and will develop strength and stability for the future.
History
Faith Lutheran Mother's Day Out program began in 1996 by Mindy Swafford, Cynthia Schumann, and Virginia Moerbe. The first three classes included: two year old classes taught by Virginia Moerbe, a three year old class taught by Cynthia Schumann, and a four year old class taught by Mindy Swafford.
In 2003 Faith's Mother's Day Out was re-named to Footsteps of Faith Early Childhood Learning Center to better describe its mission and ministry. Mindy Swafford had been the Director since the origination of the program until May of 2006, when Angela Cummings, became the Director of the program.
Today
At Faith Lutheran Preschool children, teachers and staff learn to live in a Christ-like way, within an atmosphere of love, care, and trust. The child learns that they are "a child of God".
As members of the family of God, we share our faith and joy in Christ by nurturing the spiritual, physical, emotional, and social needs of each unique child in a safe, healthy, and loving environment.
