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.
Desert Foothills Lutheran School offers an environment that fosters curiosity, unleashes creativity and builds self-confidence in children. Our caring staff can make a difference in a student's life by teaching them how to be resilient, kind, and loving individuals. At our school we believe it's not just about learning but also about making what matters... matter more!
Teachers making what matters... matter more!
Our humble school setting at Desert Foothills Lutheran Preschool and Kindergarten is here to help instill confidence and character in every student. We are dedicated to helping children gain a strong first impression of God’s love while developing their skills, values, and behaviors through our age-appropriate curriculum. These elements come together to provide the perfect mix of fun learning infused with spiritual guidance and respect for others.
By enrolling in our preschool or kindergarten, your child will be surrounded by positive influences that help shape his/her character for life. With Christ-centered curriculum, arts and crafts activities and socialization opportunities with peers—your child's educational journey at DFLP will prepare him/her beyond measure!

TESTIMONIALS
We fell in love with the school as well as its curriculum and people. All three of our children (ages 19, 7, and 5) have attended the preschool. Best part is, they've all had the same incredible teacher and preschool director. Thank you for loving on our children. Your school introduced us to your church and your church has become home.
