Preschool in Minot, ND
A warm, play-based preschool that gets children ready for kindergarten — and excited to get there. Minot's top-rated, family-owned program, with a perfect 5.0 Google rating and new Spanish enrichment for our preschoolers.
Two rooms, built around your child's age
Little Learners
3 years
Our 3-year-old preschool room builds the foundation — sharing, listening, early letters and numbers, and lots of hands-on play. Potty training isn't required to start.
Pre-School
4 years
The 4s room sharpens the skills that matter for kindergarten — name-writing, phonics, counting, following a routine, and the confidence to raise a hand and try.
What makes our preschool different
Play-based learning
Kids learn best through play. We weave letters, numbers, and colors into songs, building, art, and pretend — so it feels like fun, not drills.
Kindergarten readiness
Every day builds toward a confident first day of kindergarten — routines, early literacy and math, and social-emotional skills.
Spanish enrichment
New this year: our preschoolers get a playful first taste of Spanish through songs, colors, and everyday words — at no extra cost.
Low ratios, licensed teachers
Small groups and licensed, CPR & First Aid-certified, background-checked teachers who actually know your child.
Active bodies, every day
An indoor gym for Minot's cold months plus outdoor play — running, climbing, and exploring build strong, happy kids.
A real curriculum
Structured learning balanced with free play, so children grow socially, physically, and cognitively — and love coming to school.
