A couple months ago, Suzanne from Abiding Savior Lutheran Early Childhood Center, contacted me about sponsorship and we ended up chatting on the phone for a LONG time. She was one of those people I felt like I have have known forever! She had this great energy and passion for her school and it was contagious. And after visiting Abiding Savior, I could see why she was so enthusiastic, as I really could feel the love present in their program!
Ironically one of my friends from high school that I have reconnected with on Facebook saw Abiding Savior on my blog and wrote me a note telling me that her daughter goes there and she loves, loves, loves it! So I asked my friend what she loved most about the school and this is what she said…
“This is my daughter’s second year at Abiding Savior. We originally chose this preschool over others in the area because not only were we impressed with the program and curriculum but mostly because we felt like they really cared about us from the very beginning. As cliche as it sounds, it really felt like a family. Even after our first brief visit, they remembered who I was when I called back the next day.
It feels like a small school and yet they have the programs I was looking for from bigger preschools. The school they have goes through 8th grade so that made me really comfortable with knowing that they have a good handle on the education system and what’s important for preschoolers to learn before they head into elementary school.
Additionally, I really appreciate how much the teachers have worked with me to help me with parenting my daughter. It was so encouraging to know they were supportive of our efforts at home. – Kristin, mommy of 2 (soon to be 3!)”
Recently I met with Lorena Bradley, the school Director, and Suzanne Towles, the Director of Admissions so I could find out more about their program. Here were some of the things that stood out to me about their darling school!
Homey – The school has a very safe, nurturing feel. They strive to make you and your children feel like they are at a home away from home. For little ones just starting their experience with going to school, to me, this is super important!
Flexibility – This is totally unique and very appealing! They offer 2, 3 and 5 day programs along with extended care. If you are a working parent, part time or full time, they are open from 7am – 6pm and are committed to meeting the needs of the community. They will work with you to tailor a school schedule to fit yours.
They also have a 3 day afternoon preschool program from 12:30 – 3:30pm. Around my area, this is hard to find. So, let’s say you work afternoons part-time, you could have your child in afternoon program and stay until 5pm or 6pm, whenever needed. Again, they are flexible and work with you!
Small class sizes
Developmental, Christian school
Fun enrichment programs – For additional fees, they offer classes like dance and sports programs you can enroll your children in.
Weekly music and chapel time.
Parenting classes.
Speaking of which, they are having a parenting class next week which is open to the public (and a great time to check out the school!) Here is the info!

There were just so many special things about this school. From the individual hand-painted flags on each teacher’s door with a personalized Bible verse, to the community birds and vegetable garden, it really did feel like a home.
So if you are looking for a Christian-based, preschool home for your child in south Orange County, this might be the perfect fit for you. They are located in Lake Forest and you are invited to call or stop by anytime for a tour to get more information. Registration for Fall starts in January, but there are still spaces available now to accommodate your child.
For more information visit www.abidingsavior.com or call Suzanne at 949.837.4292.

Abiding Savior is a FANTASTIC Christian school and is affiliated with the LCMS (Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod) I work at a private high school and the students that come from Abiding Savior are top notch. It is a wonderful community to be a part of!
I know one of the administrators from the school and he is one of the nicest guys on the planet. It seems like a great school
My older son went to Abiding Savior and now my 3 year old goes there. My little one was not thrilled to be getting dropped off so we enrolled him in the summer program to get him used to it and he had a blast. We love the teachers and admin, they really do make you feel like family
My older two children attended Abiding Saviors preschool program and my youngest is currently enrolled. It is truly heart-warming to bring your child to a place they love. My daughter wakes up everyday (weekends included) and asks “Can I go to school today?”…that speaks for itself!! The teachers are incredible and the tuition is very reasonable. We LOVE Abiding Savior Preschool!!!
My daughter went to Abiding Savior for 2 years and I plan on sending my son next year. I absolutely loved it and so did my daughter! I really felt that the staff cared for us, too!
Abiding Savior is the BEST! All the preschool teachers are amazing! These teachers truly care about their kids, as they say it’s not their job, it’s their ministry! You cannot go wrong with sending your child to this school!
Abiding Savior Lutheran Preschool is the BEST!!! Thank you, Lorena, Suzanne, and all of the wonderful teachers for loving our little ones and teaching them about Jesus. It is truly heartwarming to see how happy and content our children are when they are with you! God bless!!!
Some time ago, I did need to buy a car for my business but I didn’t earn enough money and could not order something. Thank heaven my brother proposed to try to get the credit loans at trustworthy creditors. Thus, I did that and was happy with my bank loan.
