What Parents Say

“When our child talks about decision-making processes and actions being molded and influenced by biblical lessons and concepts they were taught at school, there is no doubt to us that LCS was the God-ordained choice for our family, and has made the financial sacrifice of private education well worth it. Starting with the Pre-K program at LCS was a great choice for us, as it helped our child solidify the concepts, both academically and spiritually, that were being taught at home and at our church.”

Frequently Asked Questions About the LCS Pre-K Program

What areas does Lima Christian School serve?

Our campus sits at 1574 Rochester St. in the village of Lima, near the crossroads of Routes 5 and 20 and Route 15A, which puts us within a comfortable drive of much of the region. Families currently travel to us from Lima, Honeoye Falls, Livonia, Avon, Geneseo, Rush-Henrietta, Bloomfield, and Victor, along with communities throughout Livingston, Monroe, and Ontario Counties. If you are farther out than that, we would still love to talk. A few of our families carpool, and we are glad to help you connect with others driving in from your direction.

Do you offer before or after school care?

Currently, we do not offer extended care beyond our program hours. The Pre-K program begins at 8 a.m. Half-day pick up is at 12:10 p.m. and full-day dismissal is at 2:56 p.m.

Is there a dress code?

Yes, we have a simple dress code that supports a focused learning environment. You can learn more by viewing the handbook available on our current families webpage.

Can my child start mid-year?

Absolutely! We accept new students throughout the school year as space allows.

How does this compare to public Pre-K programs?
