“Little Crusaders Preschool at Christ Lutheran Church is such a blessing for our family! I have a son in 3K and a son in 4K. Their teachers are kind and loving. They provide a nurturing Christian environment for my boys, helping them thrive and grow in their love for Jesus and school!” - Abby
“Three of our children have attended Christ Lutheran Little Crusader Preschool. We are incredibly thankful for the loving, Christ-centered education our little ones received.

“From day one, it has been obvious that everyone at Christ Lutheran truly cares about my child. I was worried about starting him in a preschool program, since he was young for his grade level, but it was the best decision we could have made for him. He has grown in so many ways and I know a large part of it is because of the constant support he is given. I highly recommend Christ Lutheran and beyond blessed to have our child in their school!" - Trista
"Christ Lutheran Little Crusaders Preschool has been such a blessing to our entire family! Thisis our son’s first year in school, and he is truly thriving! On top of learning “typical” preschool skills, he is learning about God every day. He is learning Bible verses, Bible stories, and is receiving a solid Christian foundation for his life. In addition, the teachers and staff excel in being up-to-date with teaching models and the newest research on the best ways for children to learn. Our son has so much fun at school and Christ Lutheran is a really positive, upbeat, loving, nurturing environment for him.” - Ann
