Precious Lambs Preschool does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, nationality, gender, ethnic origin, or disability in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, assistance program, and other preschool-administered programs. Precious Lambs Preschool admits children who are toilet trained.
Children with Special Needs will be handled on an individual basis. Precious Lambs Preschool does teach children about the Christian faith and stresses the importance of a relationship with Jesus Christ.
Members of Shepherd of the Lakes Church, JOY! Lutheran Church and currently enrolled students and their siblings will have an enrollment period before registration is open to the public.
Your child must be 3 years of age by September 1st (Except for the T/Th am class which must be 3 years, however it does not need to be by Sept. 1st.) and toilet trained to enter the preschool program. (For the K.E.E.P. program, your child must be 4 years of age and toilet trained). Class rosters are determined by the director with input from the teachers along with a number of factors such as: which class the child was in/which teacher the child had the previous year, as well as an attempt to have a balance of gender, age and returning/new children.
A maximum of 20 students may be enrolled for MWF and T/TH and KEEP for K.E.E.P. Also, part time enrollment will be considered on an individual basis.
