Our School Readiness preschool program prepares children to enter school with the necessary skills, behavior, and stability they need to progress and flourish. We focus our learning around classroom routines and procedures, social and emotional development, and academic development.
Brainerd Public Schools preschool is taught by licensed early childhood teachers offering learning experiences using research-based curricula. In a caring and supportive learning environment, teachers focus on each child's unique skills, needs and learning abilities, and encourage curiosity and exploration. Through hands-on and age-appropriate learning activities, preschool children build confidence and self-direction and learn to follow rules, manage changes and resolve conflicts peacefully. Preschool children build on their interest in books and reading and develop listening, speaking and beginning writing skills.
SCHOOL READINESS PRESCHOOL is for children ages 3 to 5 (child only program) offered at the Warrior Early Learning Center, Nisswa Elementary and Washington Educational Services Building*. (*This site will be under construction for 2022-2023 school year and programming temporarily relocated to Warrior Early Learning Center.)
ECFE PLUS PRESCHOOL is a parent and child preschool program for children ages 2.5 - 3 years. This program allows parents and children to attend class together one day each week and then the children attend alone one day. On the parent day each week, parents will have the opportunity to meet and share together in a parents group where a parent educator will focus discussion on the joys and challenges of raising young children. This class is held at the Warrior Early Learning Center.
Preschool tuition is on a sliding fee scale based on family size and income, making preschool affordable for all. Additional scholarships are also available for eligible students.
