Our School

 The Ascension Lutheran Church Nursery School & Kindergarten program provides a nurturing environment addressing the needs of the total child.

The recently renovated school offers bright, large, and open class rooms. The playground is fully equipped with age appropriate climbing equipment, tricycles and a roomy sandbox.

Through developmentally appropriate teaching strategies, our instructional program offers age appropriate learning experiences that encourage social, emotional, spiritual, and academic growth. Our educational programs are MSDE (Maryland State Department of Education) approved for ages 2-4 and Kindergarten.

We strive to establish a framework for further educational success by
encouraging creativity, building positive self-images, and fostering a love of learning.

In order to promote individualized attention for each student, our class sizes are limited, and each class is staffed with a lead teacher and an assistant teacher. Students also receive specialized instruction from our school music teacher and a science/art teacher who works with the 3-year-old, 4-year-old, and Kindergarten students. Our lead teachers are highly qualified college graduates, and our assistant teachers have completed Early Childhood Education course work. Our teachers are kept current with CPR and First Aid accreditation. Teachers are also required to attend Early Childhood Workshops each year.

Following are maximum class sizes by age group:
2-year-old classes: 12 students
3-year-old classes: 16 students
4-year-old classes: 20 students
Kindergarten: 18 students
