We are so thankful we found and chose New Covenant. This was our first school experience for our firstborn and my wife and I can’t picture it any other way. The level of care they show families is unparalleled. I still find it amazing how well they operate as a team between classrooms and it’s not uncommon for a teacher in a different classroom to also know your child’s name at drop off or pickup. Ms Dana (the principle) embodies everything you’d want in someone leading your child’s school. Our son genuinely enjoys school and we know it has everything to do with how they combine faith, eduction and fun!

We absolutely love this preschool! It’s such a loving, nurturing environment where every child is truly known and cared for. The small, close-knit community makes it feel like a family — all the teachers and staff seem to know and love each child by name. The Christ-centered focus shines through in everything they do, creating a joyful, faith-filled atmosphere that helps children grow not only academically and socially, but spiritually too. We feel so grateful to be part of such a wonderful, loving community!

It's heartwarming to share about the positive impact New Covenant Lutheran School has had on our family. Entrusting our children to a school community that feels like an extended family is truly a blessing. Knowing that our kids are not only safe but also welcomed with open arms fosters a sense of confidence and peace of mind. It's evident that the dedication and care of the teachers, principal, and office staff play a significant role in creating this nurturing environment. We are proud to be a part of the. NCLS community!

Our Daughter attended both Pre-K and Kindergarten at NCLS. Quite frankly, her experience has been nothing short of amazing. At the time, our decision to enroll was based solely on one factor…proximity. Little did we know this would be one of the best decisions we made over the course of her young life. The Administration, Faculty and Staff truly care about the students and the curriculum is designed to prepare children for the next level. I can’t believe how much she has developed socially and intellectually over the last two years! Most importantly, our Daughter feels so comfortable on campus and was blessed to have great classmates and Families. Again, this is a reflection of awesome Staff and great people. NCLS will always be special to us and we will miss it very much; however, thanks to NCLS we are confident our Daughter is well prepared for the years ahead. I wish they had a first grade! Thanks so much NCLS…we have enjoyed every moment of the last two years.

New Covenant Lutheran Preschool and Kindergarten has a special place in my heart. It is warm, inviting, and filled with staff who truly love and care about my children. My kiddos love the staff as well- and they are really like an extended family. They go above and beyond to provide the best experience and learning environment and it shows! My kids enjoy their time learning their curriculum along with music, Bible, Spanish, and PE. This school has been such a blessing for our family! Highly recommend New Covenant!
