 At Bethlehem we believe that Christianity should be at the basis of all education. We recognize that children have spiritual, emotional and physical needs.
We also know that God creates each of His kids uniquely. This is why we provide opportunities for individual growth in a positive, creative and loving environment. |  A Christian home gives children their first Christ-centered instruction and training. We believe our school needs to support parents by sharing in this responsibity.
Bethlehem Lutheran Preschool and Day Care can best accomplish this by providing. . .
| • Opportunities for Christian learning of Jesus as Lord and Savior through formal classes, chapel, and informal living-learning environment. | | • Opportunities and activities to help children have a healthy self-image which includes accepting themselves, their limitations and their talents as God has given them. | | • Experiences and activities which will fulfill the child’s basic individual needs (spiritual, emotional, physical, intellectual and social). | | • Guidance as the child becomes less self-centered and starts taking part in small group and large group activities. | | • Experiences and stimulating the natural curiosity of a child to broaden his/her aptitude for future schoolwork. |
| |  All teachers meet and/or exceed California State requirements in Early Childhood Education (12 ECE units) and are encouraged to seek professional growth. They also have a licensed background check and are CPR and First-Aid trained and certified. They are mature, dedicated, and loving individuals whose purpose is to provide a loving and nurturing atmosphere for your child. |  Our Preschool program is designed to meet the needs of children 2 years through age 6. Preschool hours are 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM, Monday through Friday. You may choose a 2, 3, or 5 day program.
