When we receive your application interest form, we are then prompted to start our admission process which includes contact from the director, a school tour, admissions interview, and the onboarding process. Please allow at least 2-3 weeks for the admissions process to be completed for your student. Spots fill quickly, and are not reserved until registration fees are paid on Brightwheel.

If applying for preschool and also interested in extended care, fill out a preschool application. If only interested in extended care, fill out the extended care application. There are no fees for applications. Director Contact Our office manager will forward your application and information to the Director of the Preschool for their review. The Director will then reach out to you via phone and email to answer any questions and to set up a school tour. School Tour Once the school tour is scheduled, families and the students are invited to tour with the Director, meet teachers, and check out our awesome location. Admissions Interview Families and students are also invited to participate in an admission interview during or after the school tour to get a better idea of how the student will fit in our programs and to ask any additional questions.

We host the open house in our big room at Faith Lutheran Church & Preschool. Interested Families Register Here Kilah, Parent of Preschooler Why Faith? "Faith is a beautiful church and school with a nice, fenced-in playground and brand new fellowship hall. Faith has highly skilled and caring staff. If you're looking for a small, Christian school on the West side of Columbus, Indiana, this is the place to be. While at Faith, my child has made lifelong connections with classmates, church members, teachers, and extended care staff. We feel like Faith is our extended family and are blessed to have spent her first educational experiences with this program. We have enjoyed community events including: Pumpkin Patch Field Trip, Firefighter Visit, Thanksgiving Dinner, Valentine's Day Ball, and Trike-a-Thon to name a few. Faith is a special place to be and we are grateful for our experiences here." Chrissy A., Preschool Parent "We couldn't have asked for more highly skilled, caring teachers! Their love of learning brings lessons to life with hands-on activities, field trips, live science demonstrations, and many other actvities and celebrations." Molly W., Preschool Parent "Faith has provided a safe and welcoming environment for my child to learn and grow." D.M., Extended Care Parent "Faith has helped our child grow intellectually, socially, and spiritually. She has met new friends. She has been exposed to enriching activities to help her learn more pre-k readiness concepts.
