Mission Statement
Grace Lutheran Preschool is devoted to creating a kind and safe classroom where every child feels loved, valued, and important. In this classroom we make messes, have dance parties and laugh a lot while growing in faith and life. This is our happy place where memories are made and friendships last a lifetime.

Dear Grace Lutheran Preschool Parents & Caregivers,
After careful consideration, the decision has been made to close Grace Lutheran Preschool at the end of the 2025 school year and not reopen until Fall of 2026.
We will use this time to update the classroom, revamp our curriculum, and focus on being the best preschool Watertown has to offer.
Rest assured, we are committed to providing high-quality preschool services for the remainder of this academic year. Miss Maia will continue to support your child's development during this time.
We understand that some of our 3 Year Old parents were going to sign up for this coming Fall. Watertown is fortunate to have several excellent preschools which offer the same, or superior quality of education. If your family needs a recommendation, please reach out and we can help you find what works best for your family.
Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns you may have.
Thank you for supporting Grace Lutheran Preschool and choosing a faith-based curriculum for your child.
Blessings,
Kat Anderson – Business Administrator, Grace Lutheran Church & Preschool
Adam Wientjes – Council President, Grace Lutheran Church
Denise Biller – Council Vice President, Grace Lutheran Church

Miss Maia Brooks - Preschool Teacher
Hello! My name is Maia Brooks and I accepted the Preschool Teacher position at Grace Lutheran. I grew up with my parents and my brother in a small town in Minnesota. After I graduated high school, I went to Lake Area Technical College. I graduated in 2021 with an Associates of Applied Science Degree in Child Development. I have been professionally working with children since 2018, but have around 10 years of experience working with children of all ages. When I am not teaching, I like to do paint, sing and play guitar. I also love spending time with my family, my fiancé and our two very spoiled dogs! I am so excited to start this new adventure and I can’t wait to meet everyone!
