Preschool
A Christ-Centered Beginning.
We know sending your little one to preschool is both exciting and emotional, and you long for a place where your child will feel safe and find joy in learning. You also want them to be prepared developmentally, cultivate friendships, and understand their unique role in God’s story.
Lansing Christian School is a private Christian preschool in Lansing, Michigan, that instills a strong academic and spiritual foundation for children who are four years old by the first day of school in August. Rooted in biblical truth and shaped by a play-based, developmentally appropriate approach, our program sparks creativity, nurtures gifts, and gently introduces children to school life.
Below, you’ll discover our wholesome environment, rich educational offerings, dedicated teachers, and the many exciting opportunities at Lansing Christian School – where your child will thrive!
Program Distinctives
Spiritual Formation
At LCS, Scripture is the foundation of everything we teach. Through daily Bible lessons, Scripture memorization, prayer, and Christ-centered instruction across all subjects, God’s Word is woven into each day so that students begin to understand their identity as children of God.
Partnership with Families
We believe parents have the primary responsibility for their child’s education, and we exist to support them in that effort. Regular communication, parent-teacher conferences, and clear scheduling resources help families remain actively involved and informed throughout the year. Teachers are also available for individual meetings with parents, as needed.
Small Classes, Personal Attention
Small class sizes allow each child to be individually mentored. Our dedicated teachers thoughtfully connect daily lessons to real-life experiences, and encourage curiosity, confidence, and character, all while modeling Christ-like kindness and care.
Learning Through Exploration
Through purposeful play, children develop kindergarten readiness skills while cultivating creativity and wonder. Students explore letters, numbers, colors, shapes, and patterns through stories, music, arts and crafts, outdoor play, and guided discovery.
Academic & Developmental Foundations
Reading Readiness
Students build early literacy skills through book appreciation, storytelling, poetry memorization, and language-rich classroom experiences.
Mathematical Thinking
Children develop foundational math skills through counting, sequencing, matching, and recognizing patterns.
Fine & Gross Motor Development
Blended activities strengthen coordination and motor skills – from drawing, cutting, painting, and coloring to enjoying running, jumping, and structured outdoor play on developmentally appropriate equipment.
Flexibility That Meets Your Family’s Needs
At Lansing Christian School, we give young learners a strong beginning, preparing hearts and minds for the years ahead. We offer PreK 4 (age 4): Half-day or full-day options.
Children must be 4 by the first day of school and be potty-trained.
