Little Wildcats Preschool is designed to prepare children and families for the transition to kindergarten. We focus on pre-reading, writing, and communication skills, number awareness and social skills. Certified teachers and classroom assistants plan daily large group activities, focused small group activities, a snack time and individual choice time at learning centers in the classroom. Authentic assessments are used to insure that children are on track for school success. The Little Wildcats Preschool curriculum is aligned with the curriculum of the Chisago Lakes Elementary schools.
Enrollment for the 2022-2023 School Year will open on Tuesday, March 1 at 8:00am.
