Holy Cross Lutheran Preschool seeks to instill in young children knowledge of God’s love for them. We want to help your child develop ways of relating to other children, develop the ability to share, and develop self-control and responsibility in a Christian atmosphere. Our aim is to assist parents in providing an environment where children can grow spiritually, physically, intellectually, emotionally, and socially. 

What to Expect

  • Our preschool offers smaller class-sizes with personal, family feel connections between our staff and the students & families we serve.

  • Our wonderful staff works to challenge each child to learn at an age-appropriate comfortable level, with a focus in the Pre-K class to be Kindergarten ready.

  • Your child’s safety is a top priority at Holy Cross Preschool. To assist in keeping your child safe, the doors to Holy Cross will be locked during preschool hours. Families will be issued a key fob which will allow entry into the building during times when their child is normally in the building. In addition, we have a locked, fenced-in playground for outside play and a large indoor space to play during winter.

  • We have two programs a year that will be held in the church sanctuary; a Christmas program and a spring/Pre-K graduation program. 

  • We follow the Dakota Valley Calendar for our start/end dates and vacation days.

  • Open Enrollment for the Fall Semester Begins in February of Each Year.

  • Ask about our competitive tuition rates! Active Holy Cross Lutheran Church members receive a 50% discount rate on tuition.
