For more than 40 years, First Lutheran Preschool has served the greater Geneseo community by providing enriching classes for 3, 4 and 5 year-olds. Our mission is to offer a safe and nurturing atmosphere where the child’s first school experience is positive and enjoyable.
Our curriculum conforms to the goals and preschool standards put out by the Illinois State Board of Education and we are certified by the State of Illinois. Our program curriculum includes free play, readiness, language arts, creative art, cooking, music, games, rhythms, and field trips. Our classrooms are sunny, cheerful places where creativity and exploration is foremost. Every effort is made to make the preschool situation a happy, comfortable place for your child to grow physically, socially, intellectually and emotionally.
Below are links to recent newsletters for each of our programs. These newsletters highlight what the children will learn in the coming month, as well as provide schedule reminders and school and church happenings. Enjoy!
