Preschool Program

Our preschool teachers work with children in a preschool setting with classrooms placement of children of age 3 and 4. In our preschool program children develop their social and emotional skills and begin learning about what defines them as a person. Our in house developed curriculum follows the Minnesota Early Childhood Indicators of Progress and Kindergarten Readiness requirements and is tailored to meet the social, emotional, physical, and educational needs of our children.
