Our Saviour Lutheran School Early Childhood

If you’re looking for a good, quality preschool then this is the only place for you.
My daughter attended prek here and had the best educational experience I could have hoped for. Every single adult who works at this school is amazing and caring. The director walks the hall every morning greeting the students, all of whom know him by name. The teachers were carefully hired and clearly love their students. My daughter had a tough time adjusting to school — the teachers were patient and caring and provided enough support to get her through those rough times. The director was encouraging and after a pretty difficult separation one morning told me to call him when I got to work so that he would Skype me to see my daughter and make sure she was doing well. This is the type of family you wish you could leave your children with.
This place provides quality UPK using a play based and hands on approach to learning. This is rare in an age where academics with heavily on education. Our Savior ignited my daughter’s curiosity. There was no pressure on her to learn to read for example; as a matter of fact there were no lessons at all. So I was pleasantly surprised when she picked up a book one day and simply started reading! She was learning through play, which is how all children should learn.
I am devastated that the year is winding down to a close, but feel fortunate and blessed that we found a place that really helped my daughter grow. We will always have fond memories and I look forward to sending my second daughter there when it’s time for prek!

Our son has attended nursery, pre-​K, and summer camp at Our Saviour and is very sad to be leaving. This school has truly been a godsend for us, offering him an excellent early education at a price we could afford. This school has a friendly, diverse, family-​like environment, which we really appreciate. We have found all of his teachers to be both caring and experienced. (We think he is entering his local PS G&T kindergarten program having been very well prepared.) His class time seemed to be an age-​appropriate mix of play and traditional learning (phonics, letters, basic math). I also love the space: big, clean, well-​stocked classrooms with plenty of high quality learning resources. But really, I think the most important thing for me is just whether our son is enjoying learning. I ask my son every single day whether he’s had fun at school, and in his time at Our Saviour, he always, without fail, says «yes». That is quite a track record considering he’s been there 2 years!
During our son’s time there, the school has restructured into a more focused «early childhood center.» We were at the school when the new principal came on board, and we have found him to be very sociable, enthusiastic, and a great listener. He was very willing to accommodate our needs and listen to parent ideas and input. I suppose I only have one «suggestion” – I like that the school makes a very regular effort for kids to play out back, but would love to see the school develop the outdoor play area. I hope they continue to attract students, resources, and parents who would like to help make this happen. We are looking forward to sending our younger son to this school when he is old enough for nursery. The school is truly a blessing in this community where good, affordable education can be very hard to find.
