Preschool 

A FUN, LOVING, CHIRSTIAN ENVIRONMENT FOR YOUR CHILD TO PREPARE FOR KINDERGARTEN

Calvary Lutheran Preschool in Post Falls is grace-focused with an emphasis on nurturing children’s love for learning and Christ. Our program is designed as a traditional preschool program to prepare your child for kindergarten. We are not a daycare or a childcare center. We are committed to helping all children become confident, caring, and creative individuals through a loving, Christian environment. Our students are encouraged to explore, experiment, and cooperate in both large and small groups throughout the day. Our pre-kindergarten curriculum includes phonemic awareness, emerging literacy, pre-math concepts, number sense, music and movement, social skill, and community interactions.

As a ministry of Calvary Lutheran Church, Calvary Lutheran Preschool is called to embrace children and families with the love of Jesus, teaching and equipping them to live faith-filled lives in a fun and secure environment.

Calvary Lutheran Preschool is accredited through the State of Idaho as part of the Idaho Stars program.

Preschool classes run September through May, following a similar schedule to the Post Falls School District. A summer program is not currently offered.

Classes are held Tuesdays, Wednesday, and Thursdays from 9 a.m. – 11:30 a.m

We have two classrooms, with class sizes limited to 14 students (1:7 student to teacher/aide ratio).

Students have weekly chapel time with Pastor Matt and a weekly music class with a certified music instructor.

Classes go on monthly field trips and have guest speakers throughout the year. 

Calvary Lutheran Preschool’s all–inclusive monthly tuition is $200. Tuition covers all field trips, special guests, music classes, projects, and yearbook.

There is a $150 non-refundable registration fee each year. 

Calvary Lutheran Preschool was established in the Post Falls community in 1986 by a small group of Calvary Lutheran Church members who realized there was a need for a Christian preschool that prepared students for Kindergarten. It was this group’s desire to bring such a program to Kootenai County. As an outreach of our church’s ministry, the program was designed to offer a wealth of enrichment opportunities for children at an affordable cost. It is the longest running preschool in the area. We are proud to be a long standing fixture of the Post Falls preschool community and part of an education tradition among families. Former students are currently enrolling their own children in our preschool program.
