Minnetonka Preschool & ECFE

Minnetonka Preschool & ECFE NAEYC accredited & 4-star Parent Aware early childhood program focusing on social, emotional and cognitive development in children birth to five.

Part of the Minnetonka School District, the Minnetonka Early Childhood program is committed to world-class, child-centered excellence. At Minnetonka Preschool children, ages 30 months to five years, learn about the world around them through exploration and grow in a safe environment that focuses on social, emotional and cognitive development. Our program builds a child’s confidence and provides th

em with skills that prepare them for kindergarten. We offer a variety of options to fit every child’s developmental needs. Choose from two to five day programs, with the option to combine select classes with one or two days of parent education. Flexible scheduling and childcare is available with Junior Explorers Club, Lunch Bunch and Minnetonka Community Education enrichment and recreational programs. Through Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE), parents and children, birth to age 5, take classes together that promote interaction and teach parenting techniques. Our program seeks to involve parents in their child’s education right from the start. Not only are they a child’s first and most important teacher, but research shows when parents are involved, children do better later in school.
