Calico Butterfly Preschool is a community outreach of St. Paul Lutheran Church (SPLC) established in 1981. We strive to foster autonomy and self-confidence while maintaining an active partnership between home and school. Calico Butterfly serves children ages 6 weeks through Kindergarten entrance.
Our program is carried out with the belief that each child is special and individual and therefore is treated as such. Each child’s needs are met in a warm, caring, consistent and safe environment designed to promote growth and development and provide a model for appropriate behavior and treatment of others.
