Preschool in Phoenix, AZ 85018
The preschool is a Ministry of Prince of Peace Lutheran Church.
Classes are available for children two to five years of age. The preschool is operated for the purpose of providing a Christian environment to aid in the child’s development spiritually, intellectually, emotionally, physically, and socially.
We believe each student is a unique child of God, recipient of God’s love and grace and therefore worthy of our love and concern as fellow members of the community of believers. We seek to aid each child to grow in many ways – toward a positive self image, toward self-reliance, toward awareness of others, toward an awareness of his/her unique gifts and toward a lifelong journal of faith.
We also believe that the family is the primary place of nurture for young children. Prince of Peace Preschool takes the role of family seriously. We seek, through parenting classes, our knowledgable staff, conferences, and Preschool and congregational activities, to assist young children and their families to have healthy, joy-filled and nurturing home environments.
Prince of Peace Preschool admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the Preschool. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admission policies, and scholarships.
It is important to note that the learning which is occurring in this world is not always obvious to us adults. We tend to differentiate between play and work, and our image of school may include rows of desks, workbooks, and quiet concentration.

During your child’s early years, it is important to provide him or her with experiences that will inspire confidence in his or her own abilities and love of learning. At Prince of Peace Preschool, a dedicated and experienced staff provides exciting experiences that are a valuable supplement to the primary parental education in the home.
We believe that children learn by doing and playing. Given a creative and nurturing environment, they will develop at their own speeds into unique individuals. Through all we do, we seek to nurture that unique individuality.
