Shepherd of the Ridge Lutheran Preschool

Our curriculum is developed to meet the standards set by the State of Ohio to prepare children for kindergarten. During your child’s time at Shepherd of the Ridge Preschool, he/she will learn to:
-
Print upper/lowercase letters

Identify and write his/her name

Properly hold and use crayons/pencils/scissors

…and much more!
In addition to teaching foundational educational concepts such as reading and writing, we also introduce children to the Christian faith through “Time with Jesus”. We use simple Bible stories and activities to promote the knowledge of Jesus Christ in a child-friendly manner. Children will have “Chapel Day” once a month in the classroom with Pastor Paul Pater for a Bible lesson and recitation of songs/Bible verses.
