You will get a postcard in the mail!

6/5/2018

We hope you are having a good summer. Postcards will go out mid August to remind the students that we don't start quite when the big kids go. You get a bit of extra time with your preschooler before we begin after Labor day. We're gearing up for another great year in preschool. It has been great meeting some of you this summer at our first time visits. We are looking forward to getting to know all of the new students. Our open houses are the Wednesday and Thursday of Labor day week and the classes start a week from Labor day on Monday and Tuesday. See you in September!

Marianne Smith

Marianne had been working for Messiah Lutheran's preschool since 2004 and became the director of their preschool in 2008. The program moved to American Lutheran Church in January of 2019. Marianne received her degree in early childhood studies. She has been in elementary or preschool settings as a teacher or assistant since 1987. After studying elementary Education and working in various elementary schools, she decided that preschool is really where her heart is. She actually enjoys the endless “why” questions from this age group. Working for a church takes this a step further, as she proudly gets to teach a Bible story based curriculum. She is pleased to be part of the staff at ALC. American Lutheran's Preschool is a welcoming space in which to learn and grow. The church’s mission is truly carried out in growing deep and reaching wide. Even the youngest members can make a joyful noise to the Lord!

In 20-21 we added Rochelle Buyse to our team, Ms. Rochelle is the Youth and Education Director of ALC. She jumped in to help us during the pandemic and liked it so much she offered to stay on with us- adding to her duties at the church. She is a wife and mother of two grown girls. We are grateful to have her on board!
