DESERT FOOTHILLS LUTHERAN

PRESCHOOL/KINDERGARTEN

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.

CURRICULUM

​The Core Knowledge Curriculum has an explicit set of skills that provide the stepping stones children need to achieve developmental goals.

Movement and Coordination

Work Habits

Language and Literacy Development

Mathematics
