ENROLLMENT

Preschool: Enrollment is open to children who are 3 years old (potty trained) until kindergarten.
Kids Club: Enrollment is opened to children 3 years old and potty trained through 5th grade.

It is important that your child is able to toilet independently before attending preschool. We realize that occasionally an accident can happen. In the event that a child is not yet potty trained, he/she can not come to preschool until he/she is.

Although we provide for the individual needs of our students, we are not a special needs school.

PHILOSOPHY

Preschool
Early childhood is a time for happy and carefree days, with ample time to play, learn and grow. Our program is designed to provide spiritual, physical, mental and social experiences at the developmental level of the preschool child. Lessons are Christ-centered, showing God's love and guidance in all areas of Christian living. The program is flexible and varied, with provision made for experimentation and creative activities. Our educated, experienced teachers plan for the needs, abilities, and interests of the individual children in their classrooms.
We view the school as a supplement to the home, and as such, staff is always ready to communicate with parents regarding the children in their classrooms. The director is available for assistance, as well.
Eternal Life Lutheran School is a ministry of Eternal Life Lutheran Church in Mesa. We provide an excellent Christian-based education program, offering quality preschool and day care for families in our community. Our education includes self-discipline and Christian life skills for today, tomorrow, and eternity. Eternal Life Lutheran Congregation is a sharing caring family of believers in Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.
Eternal Life Lutheran School admits children of any race, color, gender, national and ethnic origin to all rights, privileges, programs and other activities of the preschool.

Kids' Club (Childcare)
Eternal Life Lutheran Kids' Club provides excellent Christian-based care to elementary age children before and after the regular school day. During these important years, students are helped to develop values and learn the basics for successive years of life.
Our students are challenged to develop their God-given talents and abilities into the life skills necessary for their future as Christian adults. The program is Christ-centered showing God's love and guidance in all areas of Christian living. Our staff is experienced, educated, caring and are all excellent Christian adult role models.
