About Us
Our Mission
King of Glory Preschool is a community service ministry of King of Glory Lutheran Church in Newbury Park, California. Founded in 1991, our beautiful facility was constructed specifically to house the preschool. In this child-centered, nurturing environment, children develop physical, social, emotional, cognitive, spiritual, and creative skills, providing them with a positive attitude about life and learning.
Philosophy & Goals
At King of Glory we value children for who they are, not for what they know or what they can do. We demonstrate this by listening to them, recognizing their efforts, and providing opportunities for each child to feel successful.
We strive to build a "language rich" environment to ensure that young children gain the verbal skills necessary to communicate feelings, thoughts, and needs. We promote creative adventure with language by exposing our students to the best of early childhood literature, and encouraging their own imaginative use of language.
Our Curriculum
Our program is carefully planned to help each child build a creative and healthy self-image, to develop empathy for others, and to develop critical thinking skills necessary for everyday living. Although our schedule is dictated by the needs and interests of our students.
At King of Glory we provide a climate in which children can explore their world at their own pace. Through "hands-on" activity centers, and experiences, children are encouraged to discover answers, properties, relationships, skills, and concepts for themselves.

My name is Miss Jess and I am a proud member of the KOG team! I joined the staff in November of last year and I couldn’t be more thrilled to have put down roots here. I am currently in my third year at California State University Northridge working towards my degree in Early Childhood Development as well as my teaching credential. As a former infant toddler teacher, I know how impactful relationships are between parents and children. That is why it is my priority to establish a welcoming learning community that works to build and strengthen relationships between students and families. My focus is to create fun and engaging learning experiences both in and outside of the classroom. I love to incorporate language and literacy, sensory and fine motor skill development, movement and open-ended messy play in all of my teachings. I hope to inspire my students to approach life with love, passion and creativity. No problem is too great a challenge to overcome, as with difficultly comes opportunities to grow and to shine! I look forward to seeing what the next generation of creative thinkers have to offer!
