Our Early Childhood Programs are an extension of Child of God Lutheran School. Therefore every standard of quality education that parents have
trusted COGLS to provide for their children since our founding in 2000 will be an integral part of our preschool.
Child of God Lutheran School is fully accredited by both the Missouri Non-Public School Accreditation and the National Lutheran School Accreditation. Our teachers align our play based curriculum with the Missouri Early Learning Standards to help prepare your child for Kindergarten.
In addition to the curriculum described below teachers spend time each daily using the Bible Curriculum the allows children to grow in faith, know that Jesus forgives and loves them, how to express joy in worship, how to witness openly telling others about Jesus and His love, and to understand that God gave us families and other people to love, care, and help each other.
Teachers use Heggerty Phonemic Awareness Curriculum, Mat Man, and The Fundations Curriculum to enhance the daily lesson plans, and to be able to provide lesson plans that are developmentally appropriate for each classroom. Our classrooms are set up with learning centers including: mathematics, science, literacy, dramatic play, and blocks. The learning centers provide an extension of the lesson plans and allow children to learn in a play based way.
Our school provides a Christ-centered atmosphere where faith is integrated into all subject areas. Jesus Christ is the center of our school philosophy and activities. Accordingly, we at Child of God Lutheran School believe that each child is a creation of God. Each child has spiritual, emotional, physical, intellectual, and social needs. To meet these needs, we are committed to giving our students a developmentally appropriate education.
