Our History

Serving Since 1957

Saint Luke Lutheran Church received a license to administer a nursery school in 1957, and the Congregation Council authorized the establishment of a weekday Christian nursery program as an educational ministry to the community. Twenty-one students received instruction in that inaugural year.

The school has operated continuously since 1957, and has operated a Maryland State Department of Education approved pre-kindergarten program since 1994. We have gradually expanded enrollment capacity to more than 150 children per year. As a partner in the community for more than 60 years, we are proud to have served the second and third generations of some Silver Spring families.

Hear From Our Parents

"My child’s teachers are skillful, loving, good communicators, and well organized. I'm impressed with the creativity that goes into providing a variety of play-based learning experiences appropriate for my child's developmental stage. Every time I walk into the school, I feel grateful for the safe, loving environment it provides. We love Saint Luke CDS!"

"Saint Luke Christian Day School has been an instrumental part of my children's development. They have learned behavioral skills as well as academic—I am so proud to be part of the Saint Luke's CDS."

"We value the community and the diversity of the student body, as well as the inclusive Christian education. My children were more than ready, both academically and socially, for kindergarten and all three kids have learned to love school at Saint Luke. We are so grateful!"

"Saint Luke Christian Day School is an absolutely brilliant preschool. They hit each age and developmental stage right on the head with their curriculum, planning, and activities. My son went through all three years at Saint Luke and is now in kindergarten. He is having a fabulous year and was more than prepared by his teachers and the faculty at Saint Luke CDS. In fact, his kindergarten teacher said, 'The kids who come out of Saint Luke are so ready and well-prepared.'"

"Saint Luke Christian Day School is providing our son with learning in a fun and loving atmosphere! He's starting his second year at Saint Luke and has loved the school from day one. It's a joy to see he and his classmates happily zooming into their classroom in the morning."

"The teaching staff is truly one of a kind. The expertise they have in early childhood development shows that they are true professional educators. Best of all it shows in my child’s abilities. He leaves happy every day. They get an A++ rating from me!"
