St. Paul's Lutheran Church - Franklin, Wisconsin

Our Mission

The children attending our Preschool and Child Care Program will daily hear the truth of God's inspired Word, the Bible. They will also be offered a wide variety of age appropriate activities that will seek to develop the whole child: physically, intellectually, socially, emotionally and especially, spiritually.

All training and instruction will be designed with the intent of "Touching Tender Hearts with the Love of God" so that their faith in Jesus, their Savior, will be strengthened.

Our Program

St. Paul's Preschool and Child Care program recognized that young children learn best through play and "hands-on" experiences. Our curriculum is based on a thematic approach through use of learning centers. Our students will explore and discover appropriate concepts in the areas of science and the senses, math, reading readiness, dramatic play, block play, language and art. In addition to learning centers, large group activities will enhance our weekly themes through Bible stories, games, movement activities and fun.

While the center will not discriminate against anyone because of sex, race, color, etc..., we do reserve the right to teach the Christian values and beliefs as taught by our church and the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod.
