Ventura's Redeemer Preschool
Marks 25th Anniversary
Redeemer Preschool in Ventura marked its 25th anniversary on October 11 with special music from its 2009 class during the worship service.
Redeemer Preschool opened its doors in 1984 with 17 children attending classes in two sessions two days each week. Over the years the class size has fluctuated between 35 and 50 children in two to three class sections.
The original goal for the preschool was to bring children into a Christian setting to serve the children in the community for school rediness with social and academic skills.
Redeemer added a day care program in June of 1998 to serve families with child care needs for full and half day needs. Parents utilizing the day care are relieved to know the preschool is in the same building and is available for their children.
The current director is Kari Markla and the assistant director is Carol Korth. The current staff numbers fourteen. The most recent development for the preschool is its partnership with Ventura and Clear Lake Public School Districts in the Voluntary Four Year Old Preschool Program through the State of Iowa.
