Preschool

South St. Paul offers excellent preschool programs for children ages 3 years to kindergarten enrollment. 

Our teachers strive to promote children’s love of learning and curiosity through an intentionally planned “hands-on” learning environment, designed to foster the development of the whole child. Young children learn best through active involvement, in order to learn about themselves, other people and the world around them.

Our preschool classrooms encourage active exploration, investigation and play in a variety of learning centers, plus individual, small and large group activities. Children are guided to question, solve problems and express themselves. Teachers respect and understand the uniqueness of each child.

Our preschool programs are offered in two locations:

Lincoln Center Elementary (map)
