Trinity Lutheran Preschool

Overview

Nestled in the heart of Wernersville, PA, Trinity Lutheran Preschool offers a warm, faith-infused environment where young learners take their first steps toward academic and social success. As a dedicated preschool, our mission is to nurture each child’s natural curiosity through a hands-on, structured curriculum while fostering a genuine love of learning. Whether your family is new to the area or seeking a community-oriented early education program, Trinity Lutheran Preschool provides a welcoming atmosphere that sets children up for a smooth transition into kindergarten.

Curriculum & Learning Activities

At Trinity Lutheran Preschool, every day unfolds around thoughtfully designed lesson plans that blend circle-time instruction with interactive, creative activities. Under the guidance of experienced educators, children engage in:

• Music & Movement: Singing and dancing to rhythm instruments, led by Mrs. Franzen on piano, turns basic concepts into memorable learning moments.
• Storytelling & Dramatic Play: Acting out fairy tales, community roles, and seasonal themes boosts language skills and empathy.
• Hands-On Exploration: Arts and crafts, simple science experiments, and sensory stations reinforce early math, literacy, and fine-motor development.

Parents consistently praise this balanced approach: “They really did a great job of nurturing and providing my child with a great learning experience before starting kindergarten,” one family notes. Another adds, “They do a lot of singing and moving around, acting things out.”

Teacher Quality & Engagement

The heart of Trinity Lutheran Preschool lies in its dedicated teaching team. Lead teachers Mrs. Franzen and Mrs. Steffey bring decades of classroom experience and a genuine passion for early childhood education. Their approach can best be summed up in parents’ words:

• “Mrs. Franzen and Mrs. Steffey really care about each child and give them age-appropriate responsibilities.”
• “I’m a little envious of her ability to keep 4 and 5-year-olds under control—she’s been doing this a long time and it shows.”

Every lesson is tailored to meet individual learning styles, ensuring that each child feels seen, valued, and motivated to explore new ideas.

Class Size & Individual Attention

Small class sizes are a cornerstone of our program, allowing teachers to forge strong connections with every student. With fewer children in each group, every child receives:

• Personalized guidance on emerging skills
• Opportunities to lead show-and-tell or small-group activities
• Extra support when mastering new concepts

One parent put it simply: “Smaller class, more attentive teachers, more enriching curriculum.” Another shared, “I felt that Mrs. Franzen did an excellent job structuring their days and my child learned a lot and also had fun.” This nurturing environment builds confidence, independence, and a genuine love for learning.

Communication & Parent Involvement

We believe that a strong partnership between home and school sets the stage for success. Trinity Lutheran Preschool keeps families in the loop through:

• Timely Updates: Routine email and text notifications highlight daily activities, upcoming events, and any classroom news.
• Parent/Teacher Conferences: Formal progress meetings allow parents to celebrate milestones, discuss goals, and explore ways to reinforce learning at home.
• Open-Door Philosophy: We invite parents to observe special lessons or volunteer during seasonal events, deepening the sense of community.

As one family recounts, “Communication was via email and text and we were notified if there were any issues,” and another adds, “There was also a parent/teacher conference toward the end of the year to give an update on how my child was doing.”

Seasonal Programs & Special Events

Beyond daily lessons, Trinity Lutheran Preschool brings joy and celebration to every season. Families look forward to:

• A spooktacular Halloween Program featuring storybook characters and fall crafts
• A heartwarming Christmas Pageant complete with carols and nativity scenes
• An end-of-year Graduation Ceremony and Picnic, marking each child’s transition and highlighting their achievements

These signature events create lasting memories and reinforce the school’s close-knit community spirit. “We attended three programs throughout the year: Halloween, Christmas, and an end of the year ‘graduation’ program and picnic,” one parent fondly recalls.

Facilities & Outdoor Play

While Trinity Lutheran Preschool excels in classroom-based learning, our compact campus offers scheduled outdoor time on surrounding grounds. Children benefit from fresh air and supervised play, exploring nature and practicing gross-motor skills. Some families have noted the lack of a dedicated playground structure—“My only minor issue was that there is not an outdoor playground area”—but appreciate the creative use of space and planned outdoor adventures when weather permits.

Kindergarten Readiness & Beyond

Preparing for kindergarten is woven into every facet of our program. Children develop essential skills in:

• Emergent Literacy: Letter recognition, early phonics, and vocabulary building
• Numeracy: Counting, sorting, and simple problem-solving games
• Social-Emotional Learning: Sharing, taking turns, and conflict resolution

Overall, parents feel well-prepared for the next academic step: “My child learned a lot and also had fun.” Recognizing varied expectations, our teaching team continually assesses skill progress and adjusts focus areas—such as uppercase and lowercase letter writing—to ensure every child meets or exceeds kindergarten benchmarks.
