Circle of Friends Preschool

Preschool for 3’s & PreKindergarten for 4’s

Learning begins here. At Circle of Friends we believe early childhood is a powerful time of growth, curiosity, and connection. Our Preschool for 3’s and PreKindergarten for 4’s programs are designed to nurture the whole child — socially, emotionally, academically, and physically — in a safe, joyful, and inclusive learning environment.

Our licensed teachers create engaging, play-based classrooms where children build relationships, develop independence, and grow confidence as learners. Through hands-on exploration, meaningful routines, and responsive teaching, children develop the foundational skills they need for success in school and in life.

We follow a district-approved, developmentally appropriate curriculum aligned to the Minnesota Early Childhood Indicators of Progress (ECIPs) and integrate our district’s E-STEM philosophy to spark curiosity, problem-solving, and creativity. Learning experiences are intentionally designed to support language development, early literacy, social-emotional growth, and critical thinking — all through play, exploration, and discovery.

We are proud to be a 4-Star Parent Aware rated program, reflecting our commitment to high-quality early learning, strong family partnerships, and continuous improvement.

Our Preschool for 3’s and PreKindergarten for 4’s programs welcome all learners. We value each child’s unique strengths, culture, and developmental journey, and we partner closely with families to support every child’s growth.
