Little Lambs Preschool serves three, four, and five-year-old children in a developmentally-appropriate and fully-licensed preschool program. Classes are half-days with morning and afternoon sessions available. At Little Lambs Preschool, children learn through experience, movement, and play. They also learn emergent reading, writing, and math skills that prepare them for Kindergarten. Join us for Messy Mondays on the first Monday evening of the month during the school year.

Saint Peter Lutheran School
Saint Peter Lutheran School incorporates a full course of study for students in math, reading, science, social studies, music, art, writing, computers, and so much more. Saint Peter Lutheran School also offers additional activities including band and piano instruction, interscholastic athletics, forensics, plays, and musicals.
Even beyond the great education that our school offers, there is one more thing that sets our school apart. As a Christian school, children learn in a Christian environment where Jesus and his Word are part of all that we do. God’s Word is taught to our students in religion classes each morning.Even more, all classes are taught in the light of our faith in Jesus. Children at Saint Peter Lutheran School receive a full elementary education; but most of all, they have the opportunity to live their faith as redeemed children of God.

Each year students perform in a spring musical or in plays and skits. During the winter students participate in a social studies or science fair.

Our older students read with younger students. They also do various activities together during the school year. On Wednesdays, we have a special chapel service where we worship together.

About US
Saint Peter Lutheran School (SPLS) is part of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS) school system. Saint Peter Lutheran Kindergarten was established in October 1994 by resolution of Saint Peter Lutheran Church in response to the Lord's command to "Feed My Lambs." (John 21:15) In the fall of 1997, the church expanded the kindergarten through third grade. In the fall of 2000, grades four to eight were added. The responsibility for programming and maintenance belongs to the congregation, and the responsibility for the supervision and direction of the school rests upon the Christian Education Committee. The Christian Education Committee carries out the desires of the congregation and makes recommendations for improvement and growth. The school is an arm of the church. The supreme head of the school is Christ, who is Head of the Church.
