Here are the details from the 150th Anniversary Book about the preschool written in 2001:

• 1974 marked the addition of a four-year-old preschool to our curriculum. 

• The preschool under the direction of Wilma Droegemueller since 1980 was growing by leaps and bounds. In 1981 an additional 3-day program and a 2- day program for 4 year olds was provided. These classes were held in the back basement room of the church that had served as the kitchen before the educational wing was built. 

• Teacher aides were first hired for the 1987 school year and have continued to be used for the preschool and kindergarten. 

• Mrs. Droegemueller's preschool program continued to grow. The 1994-1995 school year was the beginning of a two-day preschool class for 3 year olds. By 1996 there were two classes for 4 year olds and one class for 3 year olds. In 1998, an additional class was made avail- able for 2 year olds one afternoon a week.
