Holy Cross Lutheran Preschool is Christian-based program designed for three and four year old children. In a caring and positive atmosphere, we create a warm and welcoming place for preschoolers to learn. Our preschool uses multi-sensory materials and age-appropriate activities that help children develop physically, emotionally, intellectually, socially and spiritually. Our goals are to support each child in building a healthy self-esteem and respect for others. We maintain a safe and loving environment where children learn through discovery and play, as they develop independence. We strive to create a bridge between families and school to support our children and give them a successful start on their educational journey.
Our school offers:
A Christian atmosphere
Exciting, developmentally appropriate curriculum
An educated & nurturing staff
Low child-teacher ratios
Spacious & visually appealing classrooms
A large park-like playground, fully fenced
Heather Campbell - Director and PreK3 Teacher
My name is Heather Campbell and I have been teaching at Holy Cross for four years. I am also the director. I graduated from Kutztown University in 1993 with a bachelors in education. I taught preschool and kindergarten for almost 20 years before I became a stay at home mom. I have been married to my husband, Jim for 28 years and we have three wonderful children. My daughter, Brenna attends graduate school in Maryland, and my son, Ian is a junior at West Virginia University. My youngest is a freshman at Notre Dame High School. We are working to tackle all 50 states as a family so traveling is one of our favorite things to do.
