DESERT FOOTHILLS
LUTHERAN CHURCH
Desert Foothills Lutheran Preschool & Kindergarten is a warm and caring place where children observe and inquire, in order to make sense of their world. Our school uses the Core Knowledge Curriculum to promote intellectual and emotional growth. The staff provides a team approach which ensures that children finish our school ready for first grade.
Desert foothills Lutheran School admits students of any race, color, national or ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarships and any other school administered programs.

Work Habits
Language and Literacy Development
Mathematics
Orientation in Time and Space
Science
Music

LUNCH BUNCH & EXTENDED DAY
Each child will receive an individualized assessment of the core knowledge skills developed throughout the year. We recognize the need to provide classes tailored to the age of the students.
