Faith Lutheran Preschool in Arlington is now enrolling for the 2025-2026 school year. We are a part time Reggio Emilia inspired program for students ages 2-5.
Our classrooms facilitate creativity, encouraging exploration both indoors and in the natural world. FLP helps students to develop and grow by providing a collaborative learning environment. We guide children to see alternatives, problem-solve, and make their own decisions. We observe and listen to our students, so they feel heard, respected, and empowered. FLP’s program includes dedicated STEM, art, and music classes, as well as weekly chapel. Through a wide range of experiences, our students build a love of learning they will carry with them through their lives.

Every Giving Season, Arlington Community Foundation hosts the Nonprofit Holiday Wish Catalog featuring grant ideas of local nonprofits with wishes of up to $5,000 each. Thanks to the incredible support from our community, the Wish Catalog raised over $400,000 for Arlington organizations in its first four years, with every single penny going directly to the nonprofits.
Whether it’s rainy day gifts for cancer patients, bilingual culinary workforce development, or dental treatments for seniors, supporting these year-end wishes is a chance to show our dedicated local nonprofits – and the people they serve – that we see them, and we are here for them.
Our Mission:
