Christmas Art

The children helped design our annual Christmas card. Only one design could be used on the card, but they were all terrific. Enjoy their Christmas art.

The card includes our end-of-the-year appeal. If you would like to make a donation to help us help families, you can contribute online at http://www.lutherandaynursery.org/. All donations are tax deductible.

Giving Thanks For Family

Parents and children enjoyed a Thanksgiving luncheon together at Lutheran Day Nursery on November 23. The children made beautiful thanksgiving decorations for the tables and we enjoyed all the traditional food of the holiday including turkey, mashed potatoes, corn and pumpkin pie. We are always thankful for our involved moms and dads.

We Made History

Almost 70 people gathered on Friday, October 7, 2011, for "The Event of the Century", our celebration of 100 years of quality childcare, early childhood education, and family support. The evening was full of inspiring stories, special memories and wonderful fellowship around the tables. We enjoyed great food, a silent auction and the music of DJ MM. And we were inspired to follow in the footsteps of the amazing Lutheran Deaconesses that started Lutheran Day Nursery in 1911.

Thank you to everyone who attended or supported our event. We look forward to many more years of service to the Logan Square and Humboldt Park communities and to the impact we will make in the lives of children and families in the name of Christ.

Summer Fun

During the summer months, the children of Lutheran Day get to experience lots of special activities and field trips. Trips have included Ryerson Woods in Lincolnshire, IL, Brookfield Zoo, Pump It Up, and more. The children also saw butterflies emerge from their crysalises. They even pretended to be butterflies and sipped "nectar" from flowers. To see more pictures of our summer activities, visit our Facebook page.
