"The mission of St. Paul Lutheran Preschool is to provide an environment for preschool children to learn and grow that is Christ centered and Bible-based. St. Paul Lutheran Preschool seeks to provide a quality, non-profit program as an outreach to all families within and surrounding the community of Ames. Our goal is to create a warm, caring, nurturing environment that fosters Christ's love. The educational foundation uses a Bible-based, age-appropriate curriculum along with a hands-on curriculum to build a solid academic preparation base for this age level. We strive to meet the individual needs of children in all realms of development: spiritual, intellectual, emotional, physical, and social.
