History: Peachtree Road Lutheran Preschool was established in 1984 as an outreach ministry of Peachtree Road Evangelical Lutheran Church. The extended-day program began with the renovation of the educational building in September, 1989. The church is pleased to offer this service to the community as an outreach sharing God's love for all mankind in Jesus Christ. Mission: Peachtree Road Lutheran Preschool's purpose is to provide an outreach ministry of Peachtree Road Evangelical Lutheran Church that provides a foundation for life-long learning in a nurturing Christian environment. The School at Peachtree Road Evangelical Lutheran Church is a unique preschool program. We rejoice that the primary nurturing of a child takes place in the family, and we are here to support the family in that role. Our compassion for children is rooted in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Educational, spiritual, physical, emotional, and social development take place in the context of God's love for each child. It is our intent that each child experience unconditional love, affirmation and encouragement from teachers. Philosophy of Education: We recognize that each child is unique and brings with him/her a set of beliefs, customs and traditions. We can serve the child's best interests by working toward understanding ourselves, personally and professionally. We must be aware of our beliefs and values, and the effects these have on others. As we encourage the child to reach goals and challenge limits, we must also challenge ourselves recognizing that education is a continuous process. We believe that learning is an active process. Children of all ages need an opportunity to interact with their physical environment in order to understand the world and find their place in it. We encourage creativity, curiosity, self-direction, positive self-image and responsibility.
