Jesus Loves Me Weekday Preschool
Welcome to Jesus Loves Me Preschool!
A nurturing weekday environment where your child can grow socially, emotionally, physically, intellectually, and spiritually.
Pre-Registration for the 2011-12 school year
begins March 1, 2011
Jesus Loves Me Preschool uses the READY! For Kindergarten age level targets developed by the Washington State Department of Early Learning and Development for skills identified by research as having the highest correlation to success in school—specifically learning to read and do math early and well. We use these targets as we plan our lessons and progress through the year.

2 year old program – 3 days a week
Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday
Tuition $125/month
The Two year old class is for the child that will be two by August 31 st. JLM divides the children into two classes based on their birthdates. Six months makes a huge difference in development during the preschool years and we have found this excels the learning process. Both classes offer exposure to alphabet/numbers, music, fine/gross motor skills, social development and biblical truths at different levels. This class takes a field trip each year to the Pumpkin Patch and may offer additional trips depending on class dynamics.
