  1. Children's Day Out Preschool
  2. A Christian preschool for children 2-5 years of age, is sponsored by First Lutheran Church to serve the Topeka community. This educational program is licensed by the Kansas State Department of Health and Environment and is accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children. The Preschool is proud to have served our local children for the past eighteen years.

  3. Philosophy
  4. Children's Day Out Preschool is devoted to the welfare of the total child, providing an environment conductive to the healthy growth of the child's physical, cognitive, emotional, social, and spiritual developmental needs. Each child is guided in developing pro-social behaviors such as comforting, helping, cooperating, donating and haring by neutering caregivers who, themselves, model these behaviors. The curriculum strives to nurture in each child a healthy self-concept and positive feelings of trust in God and others.

  5. The Importance of Play
  6. Play is the language of children; it is their "work." As such, the curriculum at Children's Day Out incorporates a hands-on, manipulative approach to learning, thereby stimulating the child's curiosity and interest. In this relaxed and informal atmosphere, the emphasis is placed on the process of doing and creating rather than the end product of the activity. Children therefore are excited about learning and as a result, a foundation for life-long learning is established.
