"The Place to Dream, Believe and Achieve"

Welcome to the Bison Community!

We are excited to have you join our preschool community. Bison Preschool offers educational programs intentionally designed for our youngest learners ages 2.5 to Kindergarten entrance.

Bison Preschool students have opportunities to learn through play, build friendships with peers, engage in music and movement, outdoor play, early academic activities, art, snack, and collaborative large- and small-group routines. Our preschool classrooms are taught by licensed Early Childhood teachers. Children are supported by teaching teams that include general education and special education professionals. We are an inclusive preschool welcoming all children.

Bison Preschool uses research-based tools designed specifically for early childhood students. These tools include The Creative Curriculum, which guides our learning; Teaching Strategies Gold, an authentic observation-based assessment to measure a child’s progress; and the Pyramid Model, a program-wide initiative to build a child’s social-emotional well-being and development.

Little Bison Preschool
2.5 years old by September 1

Little Bison Preschool is designed for our youngest learners. This class offers opportunities that support a child’s early learning in a smaller group setting. Little Bison Preschool classes focus on your child’s early social-emotional skill development and well-being. Students learn how to take turns, share, trade, and play with peers while building experiences with preschool routines. It is a gentle separating class where parents are encouraged to attend with their child for the first session. In addition, there are opportunities for conversations among parents led by a licensed parent educator one time per month. Parent education topics may include creating positive routines at home, building a child’s self-regulation skills, learning strategies for adults to stay calm, how and why to use visual schedules, and more.

Little Bison Preschool offerings include: Explore Nature (Montrose Early Education Center), STEAM (Hanover Elementary) and Little Bison Preschool-Ready For More (Discovery Elementary)

Please note: Parents are responsible for transportation to and from preschool.
