Preschool Admissions

 
 
 

Sioux Falls Lutheran School is committed to providing a high-quality learning environment where play-based academics and the love of Jesus Christ are intertwined in equipping children to be World Ready, Faith Secure. Since 1977, our early childhood educators have shepherded over 5,000 young minds to know Jesus and have laid foundational skills to help them excel academically. After 16 years of recognition as a Local Best preschool, we are grateful and honored to be named the #1 preschool in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, for the fifth year running.
