Grace Lutheran School Early Childhood Learning Center is a not-for-profit ministry of Grace Lutheran Church. We are proud to provide a Christian preschool with a safe, loving, supportive, and nurturing environment for your child. Grace Lutheran School’s mission is making a place away from home and family where children can feel a sense of love, security and self-worth while learning about the love and grace of God through His son Jesus.

Infants and Toddlers

Infants and toddlers require diapers and formula and/or baby food. It is a good idea to send a familiar blanket from home if the child is over 12 months. We are unable to put blankets and soft bedding in the cribs of infants under 12 months. A warm sleeper is more suitable for that age. The State of Texas has eliminated swaddlers for use with infants; we provide sleep sacks for our infants to use while sleeping. We wash all infant items in hypoallergenic soap, but you are welcome to provide your own sheets if you feel more comfortable doing so

Extra Clothes

Please provide a shirt, shorts/pants/skirt, underwear, and socks in a plastic bag and check regularly so the correct size stays in your child’s backpack.

Nutritious Lunch

Each student must bring his or her own lunch and drink in a lunch box clearly marked with his or her name. Please include a “freezer pack” to keep cold foods cold. Help us in promoting good health and nutrition by including fresh or dried fruits, fresh vegetables, cheese, peanut butter (If we are informed a student in your child’s class has a serious allergy to foods such as peanut butter, we will ask that you not send these foods in your child’s lunch), or meat sandwiches, dry cereal, and/or fruit juice or milk. Please limit sugary foods and avoid carbonated and caffeinated beverages.

Necessary Rest-time Items

Each child must bring a rest mat and cover at the beginning of the school year and summer session. These items will be stored in the classrooms, and the cover will be sent home periodically for washing. Children may also bring a blanket and, if necessary, a security item (pacifier, teddy bear, etc.) to help them rest more easily. Pre-K students do not need a rest mat. Pre-K does have a rest time but they do not use nap-mats. Please don’t send expensive or sentimental bedding or clothing.

Sweater or Jacket

Weather-permitting, children will be taken outside to play on a daily basis. On cool days, send a sweater or jacket for your child. Make sure to label it with your child’s first name and last initial.

Please make sure your child’s backpack, blanket, and each item inside are clearly marked with your child’s first name and last initial.
