    -Breanna Luper

  • "St Matthew Preschool prepares kids both socially and academically. They arrive knowing how to follow routines and work with others, which helps them settle into kindergarten quickly. Early exposure to letters, numbers, and group learning makes them more confident and eager to learn in kindergarten."

  • “And just like that the last Lukasik child is done with their time at St. Matthew Preschool Frankfort. All three kids have received an excellent head start with their education through St Matthew’s and we will always be so thankful to have had them! This girl will start all day Pre-k at Blue Ridge in the fall!!”

    -The Lukasiks

  • "Children coming from St. Matthew Preschool often enters school with a strong foundation in both social-emotional and early academic skills. They tend to be confident in routines, respectful in interactions, and ready to engage with peers and adults. That early structure and nurturing environment gives them a head start in adjusting to the expectations of a classroom setting".

  • “Thank you for all the memories, St. Matthew Preschool. I've never been more thankful for a place or people. The way the entire staff loves every kiddo that walks in the door is remarkable. If I could send my kids here until they graduate I would. Blessed to have been part of the Pre School for 3 years.”

    -Former Staff

  • “St. Matthew Preschool has been an icon in our community for many years. My daughters attended over 35 years ago, learning social and academic skills needed to prepare them for kindergarten. They also learned the love Jesus Christ has for all. Then, my grandsons had the wonderful experience of attending, with the program still going strong.”

    -Proud Parent and Grandparent

  • “We decided to send our oldest to St Matthew because of their reputation. We have since had 3 kids go through preschool there and our 4th will be starting there this fall. We had always heard nothing but good things about the program but experienced for ourselves the difference St Matthew makes in the lives of their preschool families. We started out as strangers but soon felt right at home and now the staff feels like an extension of our family! We recommend St Matthew to all of our friends and family!”
