What our parents say about us

A Christian Environment Where Loving and Learning Are Everyday Experiences

 St. Paul’s Lutheran Early Childhood Center (SPLECC) takes great pride in providing an environment to meet your child’s social, emotional, physical and intellectual needs.  We strive to make your child’s first school experience one filled with security, warmth and love.  Our child-centered curriculum focuses on the ideals of the Christian faith to provide educational excellence in an atmosphere of Christian love.  We hope to guide each child’s expanding interests and abilities through relationships with other children and teachers. 

Here's  some high lights of what we offer:

 Our goal is to make our school one that is secure, warm and loving at all times.  Our greatest honor and privilege is to create a positive school experience that will send your child on a life-long journey of learning.

 Tours are offered during school operating hours.  To set up a tour, call 712-322-3294 or e-mail us at stpaulscares@cox.net.

 Preschool and child care are available for three to five year olds between the hours of 6:30 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.  throughout the school year and 7:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. during the months of June, July and August.  St. Paul’s features a low student-teacher ratio with well-educated teachers and trained staff.  They are also trained in CPR and first aid and have passed a background check. 

 Each classroom is large and very attractive, and the outdoor play environment is safe.  Playground equipment and toys are modern, well maintained and plentiful.  Once a week the children attend a short chapel service led by astor.  On a daily basis, Christian concepts and biblical stories, prayers and songs are part of their learning experience. 

 St. Paul’s uses Creative Curriculum for Early Childhood in a relaxed yet nurturing environment. 

 For those parents who need year-round care for their children, we offer child care during the Christmas and Easter breaks and camp during the summer months.  These camps give the children a break from structured learning and are organized around various themes.
