Did you know what’s really special about our preschool program?!?

We are located in a vibrant, downtown location which means there are endless ways to connect with our community while participating in enriching learning experiences outside of the classroom.

Learning about:

✔️Trees 🌳🍁 Why not take a walk around the block to explore the beautiful mature trees?

✔️Signs ⚠️ Check out the road, restaurant, and grocery store signs

✔️Music 🎵 Attend a band practice at the middle school or check out the local instrument shop

✔️Clothing 👚Walk through a local boutique or the laundromat to see how things work

✔️Pets 🐶 Count how many pets we can see on our walk

✔️Buildings 🏢 Observe the many construction projects and architecture around town

✔️ Recyling 🌎clean up some litter around the village

Monthly trips to the Vicksburg District library (for our 4’s) are always a highlight too 📚

What a blessing it is to be a part of such a special Village!

Do you know someone who is still looking for a preschool? Bonus! Our 4's full day class could be FREE for your family!
