Why First Lutheran Preschool?
Teachers that just genuinely love their students
The feedback we hear more often than anything else is how much our teachers really, authentically care for and know each one of their kids.
Infants 3-months to kids 5-years-old are welcome
During those crucial and formative first 5 years, our parents rest easy throughout their work day knowing the warm, enriching care their children receive every day.
Some of the lowest teacher to child ratios in the county
In a fast-paced and chaotic world, we create a stable, nurturing environment where every single child receives all the care and attention they need to thrive.
Christ-centered for
staff and students
Our staff’s love for the Lord is the foundation of and reason why we provide the quality of care that we do. Here, your child will always know they are loved, and loved by Jesus.
Consistent communication through our app
Our teachers are highly responsive and communicate daily with parents through our secure and convenient app, Lillio (formerly called “HiMama”)
A uniquely easy pick-up/drop-off
Your commute is hectic enough. Our secure pick-up/drop-off process is more of a breeze than you thought was possible at a preschool.
A safe haven for your child, and you.
Because a child's world is constantly changing and shifting, our preschool provides a consistent and nurturing environment where children feel safe, secure, and loved. Our passionate teachers are dedicated to nurturing their whole being - physically, emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually.
With our easy-to-use app, you'll be connected every step of the way, sharing in your child's exciting milestones. Our smooth drop-off process gives you a stress-free start to your day, while your child embarks on a journey of discovery through music, faith exploration in our weekly chapel services, and lifelong friendships.
There is a peace of mind that comes with knowing your child is receiving the best possible care and early education in a warm, supportive environment. Watch them grow and blossom, ready for their next big adventure: kindergarten!

Meet the director:
Ms. Jeni Smith
Jeni-Lynn Smith has been a part of First Lutheran Preschool since 1998. She began as a Teacher’s Aide, was educated in child development classes simply because of her love of young children, and then went on to complete an Administrative Child Development Program. After teaching every age group and serving as Assistant Director for 2 years, she became Preschool Director in 2021.
Her personal relationship with each individual staff member, parent, and child is a big part of what makes FLPS known for its warmth and connection. It’s easy to see how much her dedication and leadership serve the mission of First Lutheran Church and Preschool, providing a nurturing place of refuge for growing children.
She is a wife, mother of three, loves family gatherings and outdoor walks, and delights in watching children bloom and grow.
