    Why Preschool?

    Wadena-Deer Creek Preschool is a wonderful preparation for elementary school; it’s a place where young children can meet and interact, feel safe away from mom and dad, learn, and have fun! A quality preschool stimulates your child’s imagination and physical, social and emotional development. It also provides opportunities for intellectual exploration.
    students
    In preschool, children learn to relate to adults outside their families and to develop independence.
    students
    Playing with materials and participating in activities that are designed or selected specifically for young children helps them develop early reading, writing, science, art, math and other skills.
    students
    Playing in a group provides children opportunities to learn how to share, take turns, cooperate and solve problems.
