Kimberlee Bowdish: Lutherans are pretty similar to the Catholics. Being Catholic, that doesn't seem too bad to me. I probably send my kid if it was a good school and if they weren't condemning me and my child to hell.
Kaley Lappas: My family is Lutheran, not that we ever went to church, anyway. My mom wanted me to have my daughter baptized, which was fine, I don't care, but in order for them to do that, they wanted me to go to church every weekend, and that wasn't gonna happen. Waste of a perfectly good Sunday.So, you might wanna check on that. And no, I would not send my child to a religious preschool period. Not down with the indoctrination thing....Show more
Mitchel Demry: I would what is the big deal. Is sending your child to a religious school *really* any different than sending your child to a STEM school? (of course there would be a reason, for example the best school around)/.
Shad Bushweller: A preschool, no. If the child was old enough t! o decide his own religion then I would consider sending him to a school of his choice.
Beau Starcevic: Do they want you to convert?
Kris Bozelle: Are they really a religious preschool? How much time is spent on religion? Many churches host preschools but do not focus on religion much, if at all.My kids have all gone to a preschool at a Presbyterian church, and we are Catholic. The preschool is fantastic! The kids do sing a prayer before snack. They visit a Nativity across the street at Christmastime, but they spend a day talking about Hanukkah as well. The Easter celebration is purely secular (bunnies, eggs, etc.) with no mention of Jesus.I do not know the religious backgrounds of everyone who attends our preschool, but I know that one family is agnostic and doesn't discuss Jesus at all. They love the school and wouldn't go anywhere else.You have to check out this particular preschool and see if it's a good fit for your family....Show more
Dwight Si! niard: There were Jewish kids in my Catholic schools. Their s! chool districts sucked and their parents wanted them to get a great education. Nothing wrong with that. Children aren't forced to follow the beliefs at that school, they must just show respect for it.
Elva Batie: Go check out the school yourself....then you will know "how bad" it is.Personally, I wouldn't send my kids to ANY religious based school. It just isn't right for my family.
Ramona Pago: If it was a different denomination I would. I am Methodist but I did send my child to a Lutheran preschool and it was very good. If it was a totally different religion (like Muslim or Hindu) then I probably wouldn't. I don't care if my older children learn about other religions, but I wouldn't want to confuse a preschooler. Most preschools might talk about Jesus, but won't really be teaching any religious doctrine.
Damion Oleksa: My daughter goes to a Methodist preschool/daycare. It's in a church. I'm an atheist, but it's the only good daycare in our town! . She learns bible stories and the books of the bible. She talks about Jesus sometimes. I figure it can't hurt her.They don't spend a lot of time on religion. They say a prayer before meals and snacks. She's 3 and started preschool this year where they have Chapel every Thursday. Most of the familes and kids who go there are not super religious....Show more
Shaun Rapkowicz: I'm Methodist and I've been to Episcopalian and Baptist schools.
Kelly Bistodeau: Yes, the best school in my city is Methodist. We are Catholic. I went to Catholic school all my life and about half of my graduating class was Jewish.
Adan Alipio: No, we are an atheist household.
Dana Russian: how bad are the lutherans? lol.well i was a catholic at an episcopalian boarding school and that all turned me agnostic, so you can see the dangers. ;-)i personally would not. but that would depend on the strength of your own beliefs, how focused on religion the preschool actually is, ! and how bad the other options are in comparison....Show more
Brun! o Galasso: I would rather send my child to a Charter School, which is non religious.
Everette Rovinsky: I am not religious at all, yet I sent my oldest daughter to a Lutheran preschool. My youngest daughter is now in a Christian daycare. How bad are they? LOL If you mean do they push their religion on your kids, then no, not at all. At least not the ones I've experienced. They have a short bible story once a week and pray before they eat, other than that, you wouldn't even know it's a church. If you don't mind them learning a bit about God, without it being overwhelming, then I say go for it. But if you don't want that, then I suggest not to enroll them. It's really up to you. And it would also depend on the church itself....Show more
Alphonso Brake: If I could I would send my children to a religious school (they have preschool as well) The one I like is Baptist and even though I am not, it is a great school.
Marvella Benward: No, but I'm agnostic so even ! the less intense religions are a little much for me.
Brittney Inabnit: My son went to a Lutheran preschool last year and now my daughter goes there. Most Lutheran churches are strictly Bible based. I don't see why there would be a problem at all unless you were not a Christian at all. Only 3 out of 10 teachers at my kids' preschool are even Lutheran themselves. It's just a preschool, any Bible teaching are very general and child friendly.
Claudio Drullard: It would depend on my religious beliefs and those taught at the school. I would not send my child to a religious school if I were an atheist then get upset when the class has chapel time, says prayers and participates in religious events. On the other hand, if I were Catholic and I sent my child to a Lutheran preschool, I don't think it would be that big of a deal.
Asley Quickle: Lutheran's cool.
Marty Tichnell: Yes, I would. My daughter goes to a great Baptist preschool/daycare and we are not B! aptist, though we are Christian. I would send her to a nonChristian re! ligious school, too, though.
