AVCS Preschool is a ministry of Lutheran Church of the Cross and proudly serves as the preschool program of Aliso Viejo Christian School. Rooted in God's Word and Christ's love, we are committed to providing a nurturing, faith-filled environment where every child is known, valued, and encouraged to grow.

We believe every child is created with unique talents, purpose, and endless potential. Our goal is to partner with families in laying a strong foundation of faith while fostering each child's academic, social, emotional, and spiritual development through meaningful, hands-on learning.

We strive to cultivate kindness, compassion, respect, gratitude, integrity, and service to others. We believe children learn best when they feel safe, loved, and encouraged to explore, ask questions, create, and discover the world God has made. Together, we are building a caring community where faith grows, curiosity is celebrated, and every child is inspired to become the person God created them to be.
