Beginning its nineteenth year this fall of 2018, Elim Christian Preschool in Lake Stevens exists as a non-denominational, non-profit educational institution that serves as an extension of the ministry of Elim Lutheran Church. Our facility is safe, properly maintained and well equipped with indoor and outdoor play areas, including a new natural play area dedicated in the fall of 2015 and a new big toy installed last year!  Come check it all out!  Our staff shares your excitement of watching preschoolers explore and learn. The teachers commit to providing a comfortable Christian environment while using developmentally appropriate activities. The curriculum focuses on developing the total child while encouraging social, mental, physical, emotional and spiritual growth. We also appreciate parental involvement. As an outreach program to our neighboring community, Elim Christian Preschool’s purpose is:

• To provide a safe, healthy, and stimulating Christian environment in which young children of any race, creed, or sex may be treated as individuals of God’s creation.
• To work to develop in children a strong feeling of self-worth firmly rooted in God’s love, equipping children with a loving and caring attitude towards themselves and others.
• To recognize and accept individual needs and differences, encouraging children to develop to their own potential.
• To offer a Christian environment to meet the spiritual needs of children, helping them understand their relationship to God as Creator, Christ as Redeemer, and the ongoing guidance of the Holy Spirit.
• To support the total development of the child, encouraging social, mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual growth.
• To establish a partnership between parents and staff working together on behalf of children.

We look forward to the opportunity to nurture your child in the coming year. Please contact the preschool office at 425-334-0055 or email elimchristianpreschool [at] hotmail.com if you have any questions.

Sincerely,
Cathe Erhardt, Director
