Preschool (3-4 year olds)

St. Michael’s is an exceptional, Christ-centered, award-winning preschool and ministry of St. Michael’s Lutheran Church that is open to families in the Twin Cities area. We invite you and your child to consider St. Michael’s as your next “home away from home!”

 

Our mission is to create a loving Christian environment in which the children can develop to their fullest potential:  including spiritual, physical, emotional, social and cognitive growth in their young lives.

 

Train up a child in the way he should go; and when he is old, he will not depart from it. -Proverbs 22:6

The objective of St. Michael’s Preschool is to provide each child a safe, loving and positive environment where faith is naturally integrated into the curriculum.

What Your Child Will Experience at St. Michael’s
