A Christian atmosphere of warmth, understanding, and caring.
At King of Kings Preschool, our goal is to provide a Christian atmosphere of warmth, understanding, and caring. We create a place for your child to be the unique person that God created where learning is fun and meaningful.
The RSG Woodbury Preschool program provides opportunities for children to explore materials, engage in activities, and to interact with peers and adults. We nurture their curiosity so that they can learn and construct their own understanding of the world around them. Ready, Set, Grow Preschool encourages children to make choices and solve problems in a safe, positive environment that promotes independence, healthy self-esteem, and emotional and social development.
Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”
— Matthew 19:14

About Ready, Set, Grow Preschool
Ready, Set, Grow Preschool was founded in 1983 as a ministry of King of Kings Lutheran Church in Woodbury, MN. Over the past 38 years, Ready, Set, Grow has touched thousands of families throughout the Twin Cities, helping kids explore their world while growing closer to God.
Our caring team of teachers and administrators have years of experience in education and childcare. Each member shares a passion for helping kids grow and learn new things every day. From story time and math class to outdoor play and devotion, our team will inspire your child to explore new things and grow in their faith.
At our King of Kings Ready, Set, Grow Preschool, we believe that early learning and exploration in a supportive environment is important and essential. Research in child development indicates that children learn as they play and interact with other children, adults, and their environment—an active learning process.
The RSG curriculum provides opportunities for your child to play and learn through a variety of experiences in language literacy, math, science, dramatic play, music, and movement. We encourage your child to make smart choices and guide them to solve problems in a safe/positive environment. If you’re looking for preschools in Woodbury, MN, we’d love to meet you and your child. Let us show you what the Ready, Set, Grow Preschool at King of Kings Lutheran Church has to offer.
