Preschool and Pre-K

Our much-loved preschool is part of our district’s family of schools—delivering excellence for each and every student. Preschool classes are inclusive and diverse. The classroom environment is warm and caring. Our teachers do an outstanding job of both promoting independence for kindergarten and helping them with that transition.

What sets us apart?

• We are the only preschool that is fully integrated and aligned with Wayzata Public Schools.
• We promote independence for kindergarten AND help with the transition. Because we are part of the Wayzata School District, we are able to align our curriculum and share assessment data with our elementary schools.
• We serve children of all abilities. Our inclusive classrooms allow typical and special needs students to learn and grow together. Many classrooms have an early childhood special education teacher teaching alongside the general education teacher.
• We support the whole family. Our ECFE (Early Childhood Family Education) classes and preschool teachers all work together to make preschool a positive experience for your entire family.

Curriculum and assessment

We use the Creative Curriculum and corresponding Teaching Strategies Gold Assessment for all of our 3- and 4-year old-preschoolers. The Creative Curriculum is a hands-on exploratory approach to learning, and it teaches critical thinking skills. We use Teaching Strategies Gold to measure the development of each child so that our lessons meet the developing needs of our students.
