Preschool and Kindergarten

The Holy Cross Lutheran Preschool and Kindergarten is a cornerstone of both our community service and education missions. The Preschool is fully licensed by the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services. Classes are offered for children age 3 through Kindergarten.

Jesus made it very clear how important children were to his ministry. Holy Cross has accepted His challenge to bring up our children with Christ as the center of their lives. The philosophy of our preschool is to provide a Christ-centered atmosphere that allows children to grow in knowledge, understanding, skills, and character.

A few specific goals of our Preschool and Kindergarten include:

  • An understanding of the importance of one's self-worth and self-value
  • Self-expression through language skills
  • Social skills through group interaction
  • Independence and problem-solving skills.
Our Preschool and Kindergarten welcome children of all faiths and backgrounds. If you have questions or would like more information, please contact our Preschool office at (847) 639-6533 or
