Frequently Asked Questions:

What makes Precious Lamb Preschool different from other preschools?
Precious Lamb Preschool provides free, Christ-centered early education for children ages three to five whose families live in a shelter or transitional program for homelessness, crisis pregnancy, substance abuse and/or domestic violence. Because children in crisis have very special needs and at times display behavior that is extreme, ranging from violent outrage to withdrawal from people or activities, we provide a more personalized program where the children receive lots of attention from teachers and the comfort and security of a small group setting.

How long has PLP been serving the local community?
Precious Lamb Preschool, Inc. was incorporated as a non-profit organization in the Fall of 1999. PLP welcomed its first two children to its classroom on February 8, 2002.

When can I volunteer?
Precious Lamb's classroom is open from 8am-4pm, Monday - Friday. Volunteers are needed at various times throughout the week. If you are interested, please email info@preciouslamb.org or call (562) 243-1715 for more information.

What is the meaning of PLP's name and logo?
The meaning of Precious Lamb Preschool's name and logo is two-fold. First, the lamb represents Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, leading the way to salvation and a personal relationship with God. Second, the logo symbolizes a precious lamb leaping to new life in Christ. New life in Jesus Christ is represented by the butterfly. It is our desire to share God's love with the children and introduce them and their families to Jesus, the Precious Lamb of God.
