We are enrolling students for the 2024-2025 school year. We are taking kids ages 3-5 who are fully potty trained. You can register online, in-person, or over the phone. There is a $75.00 non-refundable registration deposit due with the registration form. Tours of the preschool are available by appointment with the preschool teachers.

Did you know to be enrolled in the Trinity Lutheran Preschool your child must be fully potty trained? The teachers here do not potty train or change diapers. Follow our resource guide below for help with potty training. Registration opens March 1.

Once Upon a Potty for Him/Her DVD- An animated guide on potty training featuring a sing along song and the most asked questions answered by a doctor.

Potty Training in 3 Days book- Author and potty training specialist, Brandi Brucks, will teach you how to potty train your child in just 3 days.

Follow these steps for an effective time out:

1. Give the child a warning at eye level. It holds them accountable and gives them the chance to do the right thing. Be sure to use a firm voice. It tells the child you mean business.
2. Put them in a time out spot someplace away from toys, books, and other distractions. Let them know why you are putting them in time out.
3. Set a timer for 1 minute per the child’s age (ages 2+).
4. Make sure they stay there for the entire time. This gives them the chance to think about their actions. If they get up at any point, place them back in the spot without saying a word. Then, reset the timer. It is crucial not to give up at this step, no matter how long it takes. Giving up tells them they can get away with it.
5. Go to them at eye level and ask them why they were put in time out. Explain if needed.
6. Ask them to give you an apology. If they aren’t ready to apologize yet, come back later.
7. Give them a hug and let them know you still love them.
8. Tell them they are free to go. If they owe an apology to someone else, walk them over to that person and have them apologize.

We have a new online payment system. We are now taking tuition payment through Stripe. The payment links can be found here. They will direct you to a SSL form where you can securely pay using your credit or debit card. Reach out if you have any questions.

Car seats are complex, but getting help is not. To ensure your child is riding safe, we recommend you follow Safe in the Seat on YouTube. Her easy-to-understand videos are one of the most convenient ways to get the information you need. If you still have confusion after watching a video, Safe in the Seat responds to every question left on her videos!

The TLC Preschool will have a hike and lunch at Reflections Lake on May 18. Please meet us there at 10:00 a.m. You will need to bring your own lunch. Call, text, or fill out our form with any questions.

Preschool graduation is May 16 at 12:30 p.m. in the Trinity Sanctuary. All are welcome to come watch the ceremony. Snacks will follow. For more information, you can start a conversation with Jennifer Horacek here.

You can order an adult or kids t-shirt with the Trinity Lutheran Church Preschool logo on it.

Join us for a special Christmas chapel on December 15 at noon in the Trinity sanctuary. You can start a conversation with any questions you may have.

Just like it is vital to put your child in preschool to help them grow their beautiful mind, it is also vital to strap them safely into the car. For just $25 dollars you can ensure your child is as safe as possible when riding in a vehicle. This 45 minute class is taught by certified passenger safety technician, Brittany Hunt. You can sign up for the class at The Newborn Care Training Academy. And don’t forget about your safety, too. Just like you shouldn’t put anything thick under a child’s harness straps, you shouldn’t put anything thick under your seat belt, either.

Trinity Lutheran Church Preschool now has the option for you to pay tuition electronically through Tithe.ly, the church’s pay link. Select “Designated Funds” in the drop down menu and add “Preschool” in the memo line. Then email a copy of your receipt to the preschool. This link can also be found on the Cost, Terms, & Ages page as well as the Program page (Look for the green and white Tithe.ly button). Additionally, we still accept currency and checks.

We still have openings for both preschool classes. If you are interested in signing your child up for preschool, please fill out the registration form. You can reach out to Jen with any questions.
