Dear Families,

Welcome to the Bethlehem Lutheran ALL Center(Academy For Life-Long Learning). With your love and encouragement as a guide, your child is about to begin a new learning adventure. You were the first—you were your child’s very first teacher. We as an Early Childhood Preschool and Development Center are not taking over this position, but we are thrilled to assist and partner with you in the education of your child. We take this responsibility seriously. We encourage you to participate regularly in our early childhood classrooms. We very highly value participation by parents and family.

As an Early Childhood Center, we are excited to give your child what may be his or her very first school experience, and what a privilege that is. With this in mind, we will strive to instill an absolute love of learning in your child, at the beginning of their educational journey.

In our warm and safe environment at Bethlehem Lutheran ALL Center, your child will find a place to soar in imagination and exploration. It is our goal to educate the whole child: Spiritually, socially, emotionally, physically, and academically. It is our philosophy that every child can learn, and we will provide support to keep your child growing.

As we begin this partnership, we ask for God’s blessing on our time together. What an honor it is to have the opportunity to get to know your family. It is a privilege to know we have the chance to grow in our faith together. This is the focal point of each day—growing in faith and in the love of our Savior, Jesus!

Thank you for the opportunity to serve your family.

Meet our team!
