Nestled near a wooded area with trails, our preschoolers spend as much time as possible exploring the outdoors, including exciting adventures on our preschool Bunch Bike! Our outdoor classroom and nature-filled indoor space provide endless opportunities for discovery. From bees and butterflies to leaves and forest animals, children delve into a wide range of fascinating topics throughout the year. We believe that by immersing children in nature, we nurture their curiosity, creativity, and love of learning.

Pilot Park Preschool serves children ages 3-5 years old who are fully toilet trained. Children must turn 3 by September 1st in order to enroll for the school year.
