Preschool Programs
Preschool classes are categorized two ways: by age and by time (4-5 year olds: Monday, Wednesday, Friday or 3 year olds: Tuesday and Thursday).
Our preschool programs are taught by a certified head teacher (either Elementary or Early Childhood) and assistant teacher(s) with early childhood experience. Each member of our staff has been thoroughly screened before hiring, in order to provide a safe environment for your child.
Preschool Classes
Our preschool classes are for kids ages 3-5 years old, and they encourage children to develop a life-long enjoyment of learning by providing a positive early-childhood classroom experience.
All students in our classes will participate in extracurricular gym, music, and movement activities each month.

About the Sioux Falls Hope Coalition:
The Sioux Falls Hope Coalition focuses on narrowing the achievement gap in our community through one simple strategy: Ensuring that every child gets a chance to attend preschool. Supported by business leaders, the United Way, and non-profits, the coalition is seeking to place children, currently on a waiting list for subsidized preschool, into existing high quality faith-based programs.
