Messiah Preschool was started as a ministry of Messiah Lutheran Church in 1976 with just a few teachers and about 15 students. Today, the school has become a leader in early childhood education, is one of few area preschools to hold NAEYC accreditation, and serves children from Wauconda, Barrington, Hawthorn Woods, Lake Zurich, Island Lake, and surrounding communities.

Messiah Preschool kicked off its 40 Years, 40 Celebrations with an Opening Day Prayer event on its first official day of preschool. Visit messiahlutheranpreschool.org for more information.
