For more than 25 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.
Spring is coming and the preschoolers will be celebrating! We will be busy doing crafts, songs and activities that reflect the coming of this new season. Activities will include making flowers and bugs to decorate our room and we will be singing “Take Me Out to the Ballgame.” The classes will celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, having fun with Shamrocks and leprechauns. Our 5-year old class will have fun with lots of games and activities that have a circus theme. A field trip to visit Dr. Matt Nelson at Maple Ridge Veterinary Clinic is planned.
