Testimonials
There are so many things, I love how I know my child is loved by all the staff and learning is geared toward their needs. I love the imaginative play and emotional learning curriculum.
We could not be happier with the decision we made to send our child to Promise Lutheran Pre-school. Not only do we know without a doubt that our child was loved and cared for by ALL the Promise staff, but it also nurtured our child's faith. We cannot say enough about how much we appreciated the use of imaginative play, the emotional learning program, and sensory learning tools utilized in the classroom. Mrs. Ashton did amazing adjusting activities to fit our child's individual style and needs for learning. We are so grateful for this year of learning and growth our child has had. This program has been such a blessing for us!

A lot of personal attention that has really allowed our child to in the areas they were struggling with--also, Mrs. Ashton has paid close attention to each kid's natural interests and jumps at opportunities to teach them within those areas (including bringing things home and finding new games to help in learning).
