About the Preschool

St. Luke's Preschool is a professionally staffed, state licensed outreach of the church that has been serving families in Fort Collins and the surrounding area for over forty years. We provide a positive first school experience in a Christian environment. Our curriculum, the Core Knowledge Preschool Sequence, assures that children leave our preschool well prepared for kindergarten and later learning. Enrollment priority is given to current preschool families and the children of members of St. Luke's Episcopal Church.

Our Classes

The preschool offers classes for children, three to five years old. We use the PSD cut-off date of September 15th to determine class eligibility. Enrollment begins in January for the following school year and is ongoing until classes are filled. Our teacher to child ratio is 1:6 for three year olds and 1:8 for four year olds. During the 2008-2009 school year we will offer primary classes for those who are three years old as of September 15 and pre-kindegarten classes for those who are 4 years old as of September 15.
