What Makes Peace Special

Peace Lutheran Early Childhood Center was started as a mission by the people of Peace Lutheran Church (LCMS).  The members felt strongly that children should have the opportunity to learn about Jesus as their Savior.  In January 1997, the preschool opened its doors to the members of the Brookings  and surrounding communities.  Shortly after, in August 1998, the Daycare and Junior Kindergarten began.  Peace believes in supporting young families and encouraging parents to spend as much time with their children as possible.  For this reason,  families are only charged for the time they are at daycare, not a flat rate.  This enourages young families to spend quality time together, but feel confident their children are being well cared for while they have to be away.

First hand experiences such as field trips and nature walks are considered an important part of the educational program at the Center.  The Center will provide the same quality supervision for excursions as is provided to the children while in attendance at the Center.  During the summer months (June, July, August) the children go to the pool and other places like the library and the neighboring Assisted Living facility.  Daily outdoor activity is very important for young children and is planned whenever possible.
