Activities & Field Trips

St. Matthew Preschool follows Lee’s Summit R-7 School District calendar.  Preschool will begin August 26, 2024, and will end no later than the Friday before Memorial Day. If Lee’s Summit schools are closed, the preschool is closed. Exceptions include if the school district is closed due to extreme cold or an in-service day we do not follow. We observe religious holidays and may be closed even if the school district is not. When closed, we may offer some virtual learning on those days.

Field Trips

We take a limited number of field trips away from the building because parents are required to attend - no exceptions allowed. This creates challenges for families who home-school, have younger children at home, or are working part-time. Some of our field trips have been:

October Faulkner’s Pumpkin Farm (a parent must attend)
April Kansas City Zoo (a parent must attend)

Special Events

Special Events are planned during the preschool day but at a time that working parents may be able to adjust their schedules to attend. These special events are designed to help the children build confidence and have fun. Some of these events include:

September Wafers with Women
October Halloween Parade and Party (in Costume)
November Thanksgiving Feast 
December Christmas Program 
January Lutheran School Week and Generation Day
February Valentine's Party
March Movement with Men
May End-of-Year Celebration and Last Day of School
