Page 1 Children in Little Lamb Christian Preschool learn basic skills in literacy, "big motor" usage, and cooperation with other children, all within a Christian context. Designed to prepare children for kindergarten, the preschool utilizes timeless Bible stories, field trips, and more. The preschool is open to all children who may benefit from the program, regardless
of race, nationality or religious affiliation.
You may enroll your child for two, three or four days a week. All sessions begin at 8:30 am and end at 11:00 am. The normal school year begins in September and runs through May. We follow the Cascade School District's calendar year
for scheduled days off and for cancellations due to inclement weather.
The preschool is staffed by our director, Melissa Braun, and her teaching assistant, Christi Morley. They are both well
qualified and love small children.
Little Lamb Christian Preschool is a ministry of Turner Christian Church. It operates under the oversight of a preschool
board, which is chaired by our Minister of Christian Education, Marcia Carter. For a copy of the preschool handbook
(which outlines policies and procedures), or for more information about registration, deposits, and tuition,
