Faith Lutheran Preschool

About our School

Faith Lutheran Preschool and Pre-K classes are where kids learn in an intimate setting through fun activities and projects.  Our close knit school has limits on class size to keep more one on one learning time a priority.  With both a lead teacher and teacher’s aide and a combined experience of over 50 years working with children, you can be confident that your child is loved and well cared for.  Please consider joining our Faith Lutheran Preschool family.   Your child will learn, grow and develop while having fun.  A strong foundation is the key to your child’s future.  We would love the opportunity to teach your child.

Hello, my name is Jan Oshlick and I have had the honor of being the teacher’s aide here at Faith Lutheran Preschool since 1988.  I have an amazing husband, three grown sons, two wonderful daughter-in-laws and five precious grandchildren.  It is my privilege to work alongside the teacher in making learning fun!

My name is Amanda Goughnour. I am so excited to be the Preschool and Pre-K teacher at Faith Lutheran Preschool!  I graduated from Mercyhurst University in 2011 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Education.  After graduation, I taught in Manassas, Virginia for three years.  In 2014, I was blessed to return to Erie and become part of Fairview Elementary School where I continued teaching Kindergarten.  During my time teaching at Fairview, I completed my Master’s Degree in Reading from Edinboro University.  I taught there until I had my daughter in late 2019.  The beginning of the pandemic changed my immediate plans to return to teaching.  I decided to stay home with my children, but always had a plan to come back to the classroom!  I am thrilled to be back!  

My mission is to create an engaging, hands-on learning environment where children can reach their maximum learning potential while feeling safe and loved.  Students will gain academic and social skills that give them the confidence to enter Kindergarten.  In my spare time I love spending time with my husband and two children.  I also love working outside!
