Dear TLP families,
The COVID-19 crisis has profoundly affected each and every life in our faith community, local community, and global community. During this unprecedented time in our country as we all face fighting the COVID-19 virus one thing is clear, Trinity Lutheran Preschool places a high value on the health and safety of our children, their families and our teachers. It is with that in mind that the leadership team of Trinity Lutheran Church has made the difficult decision to close our Preschool for the remainder of the school year. We understand this decision will disappoint our children and you as parents who understand the importance of a quality early childhood education experience. We believe this decision necessary to enable our school to have the best chance to financially re-open in the Fall.
We know you are wondering about the financial impact on all of us.
First, for your family: We will not be collecting tuition for the remainder of the school year and you should not be receiving any invoices from Brightwheel. A few of you have shared your family’s current financial hardship and we do not wish to add stress to you in any way.
Second, for the TLP teachers: We have promised to pay them for these two weeks we have been off. Beyond that, we cannot continue to cover their full wages in the absence of income to the school. This means, like you, many of them will also be facing their own financial family hardship. We are hopeful the new expanded WA COVID-19 unemployment coverage will be helpful but it will not be available for all of our part time teachers.
Because we value you and your children, we hope to continue walking this journey in partnership supporting one another and ensuring that the TLP will have the capacity to endure the challenges and continue to serve you and your children. We will be continuing the TLP Blog for your children and be reaching out via Brightwheel for the remainder of our school year. Our care and concern for your children continues!
We are humbled by the care and generosity of those who have expressed the desire to partner with the school through financial donations. Thank you! Your contribution is a clear example of how we can support one another for the sake of our children. We are providing a link to donate directly to the Trinity Lutheran Preschool account to help our school survive this unforeseen disruption. If you are able to make a donation to help in any way, we are looking for some heroes of generosity. Feel free to share this with extended family and friends if you think they might be open to helping as well. This as an invitation, not an expectation. That donation link is found at giving.trinitylutheranchurch.com.
We love your kids and are honored that you have entrusted them to our care. As hard as this is, we believe that this is the best way for us to care for your kids and our staff at this time. Please pray that God will work in and through this in ways beyond our imagining. Thank you in advance for your support during this time.
Trinity is committed to walk alongside the community in times of bounty and times of uncertainty. As a community of faith called to create spaces to experience the love of God and care for one another, building one another up, and walking alongside with you and your children, we are holding you in prayer. It is our prayer and hope that every student and parent will experience the support and care of God, to whom all belong.

Trinity Lutheran Preschool has nurtured both of my sons in their 3’s and Pre-K programs. The teachers are amazing! I am thankful for the fun, positive, caring and educational environment they create in their classrooms. They helped establish a love of school and a love of learning that has carried with them still.
